♥make your own aspirin mask!♥

WAY TO MAKE YOUR OWN ASPIRIN MASK!
(very simple!)

-get aspirin pills from guardian!
-the 2 brands of aspirins recommended are bayer (coarser) and dispirin (fine)
-for me, i dissolve 3 to 4 pills in a few pumps of cetaphil cleanser

(3.5pills to be exact, because i used half a pill to test if i was allegic to aspirin. very important to test if you're allegic! you don't wanna have red, itchy skin after the mask!!)

-remember do not dissolve the pills in water then add cetaphil. because cetaphil itself is already sufficient to dissolve the pills! and no problem if u added more cetaphil.
-crush the pills until it disintegrates into grains.
-lay it over your face for around 15 to 20 mins
-before you wash it off, you can give your face a light scrub too! the aspirin grains works well as exfoliating beads :)
-use the mask once a week if you have normal skin, or twice if you have combi/oily/problem skin.
-and do use a hydrating mask after the aspirin mask as it can be quite drying
-ENJOY YOUR SMOOTH SKIN!

p/s:
you can get cetaphil from watsons or guardian at $13.80.
to replace cetaphil, you can also get aloe vera gel from GNC at only $10.40
aloe vera gel works well as a moisturiser for sensitive skin, and is said to lighten scars.
and aspirins (i bought bayers) at $4.40 in guardian.
:D

i don't know if its me or the mask.
but one of my pimple has subsided. hahaha.
one question,
i don't know if its better to pop the pimple or keep piling stuff on it until it subsides.
does that mean all the pus and all will get stucked under my skin??
that sounds really gross!

i think i'm turning into a skincare geek.
(which is good)
my mom thinks i'm crazy. haha.. doing masks so often.
she thinks they are a waste of time and money!
but her daughter begs to defer! :p
masks are the best thing! (besides pedicure and makeup, erm.. and perhaps also waterproof makeup removers) hehehe.

dear anonymous, i hope this has answered your question in the tagboard!
enjoy!
