At first glance, the title may send you running for the hills, but don’t judge this book by its cover. People all over are talking about the cheaper-than-dirt aspirin mask. Aspirin is actually a derivative of salicylic acid. Yep, the same salicylic acid found in many of your acne treatments. When dissolved in a small amount of water and gently rubbed onto the skin, aspirin acts as a gentle exfoliator, preventing the pores from becoming clogged. After just one use, you’ll notice smoother, healthier looking skin.

Recommendations: Although the Aspirin Mask works with water alone, many find that other add-ins improve its effect. To use, dissolve 4-5 aspirin in a small amount of water, and combine the resulting powder with honey, jojoba oil, or your favorite moisturizer. Leave on for 15-30 minutes to leave your skin baby soft.

Where to find it: Any drug store! Make sure you buy uncoated or lightly coated aspirin only, as it dissolves much easier.
