This is one of my favorite at home face masks, because of how soothing the mask is for my skin, and how light and soft my skin feels afterwards.
Aspirin has been around for years and years, and an ingredient in many face products. Get rid of all that extra stuff and make your own - at home!
Aspirin is made of salicylic acid, or beta hydroxy acid or BHA, which has anti-inflammatory properties and removes dead skin cells gently, and helps with wrinkles, dark spots, and acne. Aspirin from your local drug store is inexpensive compared to many face, acne or spot treatments on the market.
Honey helps to restore skin's natural properties and helps skin to appear younger and more supple, and has natural anti-bacterial properties.

You will need:
5 Non-coated aspirin pills, or powder
1 teaspoon water
1/2 teaspoon raw honey
**Do not use this face mask if you allergic to aspirin or honey! Please consult your doctor if you're not sure.
Directions
1. Put the aspirin and water together in a small container, and mix until the aspirin dissolves.
2. Add the raw honey and mix well.
(The ingredients do not have to be exact, just to where the texture is easy to apply to your skin, not too watery or too thick.)
3. Apply the mixture all over your face, avoiding the delicate areas around your eyes.
4. Gently rub into your skin using circular motions with your fingers. (The texture should be a bit grainy if you used the pill form of aspirin, and smooth if you used the powder form.)
5. Leave on for 15-20mins
6. Wash mask off with lukewarm water
7. Gently pat your face dry with a soft towel and moisturize!
Recommendation: Apply this mask no more than once or twice per week, so that your skin doesn't get used to the mixture.
