I often call Aspirin my miracle product. Although there are lots of dangerous side affects and risks when consuming it, it can be used externally as well. When dissolved in water to make a paste, it can be applied to wounds for temporary pain relief. By adding a few tablets to your shampoo, you’ve turned your shampoo into a deep cleaning dandruff shampoo. It can also be used on the face to treat and prevent acne and acne scars. This can be done by grinding up the aspirin in a little bit of water and adding honey. This mixture can be used as a mask or as an exfoliant. After rinsing it off your face, your skin feels dramatically softer and smoother. Within a few weeks, there is a noticeable improvement in the overall texture and look of your skin. The salicin in the aspirin turns into salicylic acid when metabolized. Salicylic acid is an active ingredient in major acne products from brands such as Neutrogena and Clear and Clear.
However, using aspirin instead of these products is much better for your skin because aspirin does not contain any presvative chemicals such as parabens. Interestingly enough, doctors are beginning to believe that using aspirin can save your skin from cancer. Salicin is found in aspirin comes from willow bark, which is also commonly found in acne products. Products with pure willow bark extract in them are often costly, because the companies are tricking people into thinking that it is fancy. Salicylic acid is more commonly used than Benzoyl Peroxide in skin care products because it is anti-inflammatory that soothes the redness in your skin. This is why it can also be found inmedications to treat psoriasis.
