Aspirin Acne Mask

Ingredients: 

3-4 uncoated Aspirin tablets 

Water for oily skin or Jojoba oil for normal/dry skin

Honey

Place hot water in a large glass bowl. Take 1 tsp of honey and 1/2 tsp of water or jojoba oil and put it in a smaller bowl in the hot water so that it softens. Crush three to four uncoated aspirin tablets using a mortar and pestle or fork. Remove the bowl of honey mixture from hot water and add crushed aspirin, mixing together with fork. If the consistency is still too thick, add a tiny more oil or water. It won't be the usual thick mask that you're probably used to and that's okay, it will still do the job. Test the temperature of the mask and apply over the pimples, avoid near your eyes. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and remove with warm water, making sure all traces are gone and pat dry. If you feel your skin tingling or burning, rinse the mixture off (this is rare). Only use every 5-6 days.
