Ouch, It Hurts Man!


I believe that by now, the workload is taking its toll on all of us.
Those who are not genetically born with clean, glowing skin should be having acne problem every now and then due to the burdening stress.
I admit that I am one of those unlucky person =(
Few years back while I was stressing up with tons of assignments, I did some readings and watching some Youtube videos on how to decrease if not prevent it from getting worse.
I found out an amazing DIY mask that helps to cure the acne and red blemishes.
Here, I want to share this simple DIY mask with you.
Who knows it might work on you too =)


Do you know that aspirin (yes, the painkiller) is amazing for your skin?
Medical s
tudies have shown that aspirin, which is made out of salicylic acid also known as Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), is a good exfoliator that removes the dead skin cells off and allowing the new skin to regenerate.
This spells a good, inexpensive way to reduce acne!
And oh, it could also prevent skin cancer!

Disclaimer: DO NOT try this mask if you are allergic to aspirin!

So, what do we need for this DIY mask?
  • 3-5 tablets of non-coated aspirin
  • 3 drops of honey
  • A few sprinkles of water
  • Facial toner
  • Facial moisturiser


1) Take 3-5 aspirin tablets on a saucer
2) Sprinkle (I really mean sprinkle) a few drops of water
3) Wait until the tablets dissolve by themselves as shown in the picture
4) Add a few drops of honey. Mix them until it forms a sticky, grainy mixture. *If you are allergic with honey, substitute it with aloe vera*
5) Apply the mask on your face and wait for 10 minutes before you rinse it off in circular motion to exfoliate your skin.
6) Apply toner and moisturiser.
7) Your skin should feel extremely soft and smooth by now.

Note: Use this mask once or twice a week, depends on your skin. Do not over do it because your skin will grow tolerant to this mask.

Still confuse?
I know some of you still need visual help to enhance your understanding (I'm joking) :p
Here's the video of the girl that inspires me to try out this mask.
Good luck, son!
