Aspirin face mask

Easy to make antiinflammatory mask



There are a few variations on the Aspirin face mask theme, all of them revolving around the mighty Aspirin for a base. 


Aspirin has been around for a hundred and so years, and just recently resumed full function in "do it yourself skincare". 


Aspirin benefits


Aspirin is great for your skin. Basic function of it is being an analgesic and antipyretic, but more importantly, as far as skin care, it is its anti-inflammatory power. This is important when it comes to treatment of acne and other inflammation processes on the skin.


Aspirin contains acetyl-salicylic acid AKA Beta Hydroxy Acid, widely used in cosmetics as it is able to slough off skin cells thus preventing the clogging of pores. 


It is a powerful ingredient that cleanses skin and treats the the cause of acne


It is pretty cheap and almost everyone has it around the house.


Here is the recipe that I have:


Aspirin Face Mask 


Dissolve 3-4 coated Aspirins in a few drops of mild water. 


Add more water if needed until you get a mix that can be applied on the face.




Let it rest for 15 minutes (until it dries and undissolved pieces start to fall off).


Rinse off with lukewarm water using a washcloth.
Be careful so that it doesn't get into your eyes - not pleasant.




This mask is recomended for all skin types, although it shows best effects on oily skin and skin prone to acne, zits and blackheads. Apply this mask no more than twice a month.

Peaches Anti-Cancer

Peaches are good for you because they are a source of vitamins A and C and they are a good source of fiber especially with the peal. Peaches are also a good source of potassium and contain some calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and folate. Though low in calories—one cup of sliced peaches has only 60 calories—and composed of 80 percent water, peaches are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The dose of fiber in peaches acts as a gentle laxative, aids digestion, and may also help combat cancer.  Peaches is rich in cancer-fighting vitamin A in the form of beta carotene,  as well as the immune-boosting vitamin C, which also protects against heart disease. Rich in iron and potassium, peaches help ensure proper functioning of cells, the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body, and nerve signaling.  Lutein and zeaxanthin —two carotenoids found in peaches—help guard against blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration.
