DIY: Honey Aspirin Mask for Acne Treatment
The reason why Aspirin is used is because it contains salicylic acid, which is wonderful for unclogging pores and soothing big angry pimples. Manuka Honey is calming and has natural healing properties; on top of that, it is also highly antibacterial. Lemon Juice lightens scars and lessens redness. These three together are a powerful concoction, and are not to be taken lightly.
Note: am only using this as an overnight spot treatment, not for the entire face. If you are using this for your whole face, I suggest only putting it for 15-20 minutes max, no more than that.
Ingredients: 1-2 uncoated Aspirin (I’m using Bayer’s)
1/3 teaspoon of Manuka Honey
4-5 droplets of lemon juice (if that’s not enough, use 1-3 droplets of water)
Preparation Time: 7-10 Minutes
1) Take out 2 Aspirins and put them in a small bowl
2) Put 4-5 drops of water/lemon juice on them till they break and mix up
3) Make sure both are getting powdery and clumped together
4) Add the Manuka Honey on top and mix it together till it becomes a paste (try to use a wooden or plastic spoon to mix the honey, as metal can corrupt or lessen the antibacterial properties in honey)
5) Apply the mixture onto the troubled area – make sure the layer is thick and covers well
6) Put a band aid/plaster on top so it doesn’t come off onto your pillowcase
