Aspirin Acne Spot Treatment

With prom right around the corner for some, or perhaps another big occasion acne is last thing anyone wants to worry about. However it almost always seems that the night before the big day a huge eruption explodes on our face leaving us with a horrible painful zit. The huge red menace can ruin a perfect evening, but not anymore! This homemade acne spot treatment helps reduce redness, pain, and swelling all with ingredients that can be found in an everyday home. After a short 10-15 minutes you will see an immediate improvement and the next day a dramatic change.



 Aspirin Acne Spot Treatment

1. First you're going to want to gather your ingredients. You'll need 5 basic items:

• A small mixing dish
• A spoon
• Aspirin (I used 4, you can use more or less depending on how much you need)
• 3/4 teaspoon of water (again this changes with how much aspirin you use)
• 1/2 teaspoon of honey
• Optional: Tea Tree oil, Aloe Vera, Lavender Oil (2-4 drops)

2. Once you have all your ingredients place your aspirin into your mixing dish. If you put it near an edge it'll make mixing easier



3. Now get your water and pour it over the aspirin, you may need to add more. But remember it's easier to add than it is to take away. Once the aspirin has been saturated take your spoon and begin to mash the pills. It should smash with ease into a sandy paste. If it doesn't, add a few more drops of water until you have the correct consistency.



4. After you have the sandy paste load your honey onto the spoon and drizzle that into your paste. Make sure you don't add too much because you don't want to liquefy the mixture, you want to keep it relatively thick; think Elmer's Glue.



5. You can stop here, or you can add your optional ingredients. I'll be using Tea Tree oil which is known for it's healing properties for acne. Lavender oil also works great for acne and really any other kind of healing. This step is up to you if you choose to add anything make sure you know it's safe. I got my Tea Tree oil from CVS, and 2-4 drops will suffice.



6. Before you apply the treatment make sure your face is clean and free of any dirt, oil, and makeup. A clean face is essential for any acne treatment.

7. To apply the mask all you need to do is take a clean finger and dip it into the mixture and scoop some up and press it onto the spot. Make sure it's completely coated. Going with the whole mountain analogy "make sure the mountain is covered with snow."



8. It's time to play the waiting game now! You'll need to wait about 10-15 minutes for the treatment to harden and for the spot to be saturated with the acne fighting ingredients.

9. In about 10-15 minutes the spots should be hard. Take a warm damp wash cloth and scrub the spots in a circular motion to help exfoliate the spot. Then take a clean portion of the wash cloth and wipe away the treatment. Repeat until you entire face is clear.

10. After your entire face is wiped off wash your face one more time just to make sure every thing is off. Don't forget to moisturize!
