Aspirin Face Mask


As the most widely known analgesic in the world, aspirin helps relieve headaches and acts as an anticoagulant. Many studies have demonstrated its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties and its efficacy in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. However, in addition to being a recognized medicine, aspirin is also a good facial scrub.

Aspirin has indeed virtues to beautify and lighten the skin of the face. It reduces brown spots, cleans pores and fights acne pimples. The beta-hydroxy acid it contains is a compound with anti-inflammatory effects that promotes the elimination of dead cells and the reduction of acne. It also has healing properties to repair the skin. It is found in many commercial cleaning and exfoliating products.
