Step by step guide : Asiprin exfoliating mask.

Today, I am going to show y'all how to make my ultimate all time favourite DIY mask.

 But before I start, I have to stress that this mask are not for people who are allergic to aspirin.

So, if your doctor says you can't eat aspirin, it's best to not put it on your face either.

I believe that many of you (girls esp) out there often hear makeup gurus like Ricebunny and Petrilude raving about Aspirin masks.

But the problem is that, they reside in the states, and the exact products they use are not available to us in SG.

But I found something that's save for the face in local pharmacy!

These are the items you'll need.

You can purchase Disprin from any local pharmacy. I got mine from Unity. It's like $7+?

Note to use non-metal stuff when dealing with honey. 

Honey is in it's simplest form, and it might cause certain reaction w metals. 

(Papa told me that, idk how true it is, but yaa.)

Any regular honey will do!

A teenee bit of water will do.

Actually, it comes with practice. Too much water will cause the concoction to be runny.

Which isn't what you want, as you want the mask to stick onto your face, and not drool down.

Do this mask often enough and you'll get the best mix!

I've been doing this for 2yrs+. So mine's super zai for my face size.

Honey helps to moisturize, leaving your skin super smooth.

If you are allergic to honey, you can substitute honey with aloe gel (my sis says aloe gel doesn't work well)!

It is not advisable to use aspirin alone.

It might be a lil drying, and the aspirin powder will fly everywhere when the water dries.

This is the last step!
This mask can be use as a cleanser, so you don't have to use your regular cleanser after.
Pat your skin with a dry towel after exfoliating, and clean your face with a non-alcoholic toner.
(I'm using the toner from Simple, the entire range is for sensitive skin.)
And I always complete the entire mask thingie with Evian facial spray.
(Though I think it's optional, but it just feels good. ^^)

Do this 3 times a week, and I swear that your skin condition will improve tremendously.

Both my sister and I have been putting this stuff on our skin for years.

And we have one of the most sensitive skin type around.

So, if my skin can take this, I believe there shouldn't be any problem for you!!

ASPIRIN 

Aspirin is made out of salicylic acid also known as Beta Hydroxy Acid, BHA for short. BHA is an exfoliate and has anti-inflammatory properties. It causes the cells on the epidermis to unstick itself, removing the dead skin cells off and allowing regrowth for new skin. Studies have shown that BHA improves wrinkles, hyper pigmentation of the skin, photodamaged skin, roughness and acne. [source]

HONEY 

Honey can be used as a mild antiseptic. When raw honey is mixed with water, it produces hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a mild antiseptic and can be used on cuts and abrasions. Honey promotes new tissue growth. Honey makes a great exfoliant. It contains mild alpha hydroxy acids, such as gluconic acid. These acids are very safe to use on skin and can loosen bonds between the dead skin cells, making it easier to shed this dead layer. These acids also increase elasticity, balance out oily skin, stimulate collagen production, and minimize lines and wrinkles. Honey contains amino acids, which help the skin retain its essential moisture. [source]
