Face mask with aspirin

The fair sex at all times did everything possible and impossible to keep their youth longer, to make their face white and smooth, and their skin soft and velvety without rashes and irritations. For this, various and sometimes unexpected means were used. Such a tool was a face mask with the addition of aspirin to it. Everyone knows this medicine as an excellent antipyretic drug, but few considered it as cosmetic. An unusual, but very strong effect of its positive effect on the skin is achieved due to specific properties. Many girls who have tried aspirin for cosmetic purposes have already appreciated the effect of this substance.

Acetylsalicylic acid (aka aspirin) first appeared in 1838, and registered as a medical drug in 1897. The birthplace of this remedy is Germany. Company Bayer AG is the absolute owner of the name "Aspirin". Its mass production began in 1899, and its recipe has remained unchanged to this day.

Aspirin is a cheap, long-known and very popular remedy that has a natural, natural composition based on the bark of willow trees. Surely it can be found in any home first aid kit, since it is used for pain relief, to reduce body heat, to reduce blood clots in the vessels and as a drug that reduces the risk of the formation and development of cancer. In addition, it is prescribed for rheumatism, severe pain, fever. With acetylsalicylic acid, many housewives make homemade preparations for the winter, using it as a preservative.

The cosmetic properties of aspirin are most clearly manifested in the regulation of the sebaceous glands and sweating, which reduces and soon completely disappears redness and irritation of the skin, acne. This is achieved by increasing blood flow to the upper layers of the skin, since in this case it is fully nourished with vitamins and useful components. With constant external use of aspirin, the epidermis healsdue to strong antibacterial effect pores are narrowed, the face looks younger and fresher. That is why the mask with acetylsalicylic acid is very popular in home cosmetics for skin care.

Aspirin is widely used in modern life due to its beneficial properties. But it is worth distinguishing between store-bought and homemade products. Just about home cosmetology and about the use of acetylsalicylic acid in it, we will discuss further. After all, you can hardly find the same effective drug among a wide range of cosmetic products in the store.

Of course, now we can remember that it is not difficult to find face masks on sale that contain salicylic acid. In fact, it's the same component. But not really. The composition of such store products corresponds to a strict recipe, where each component is present in a certain proportion. As a rule, they contain very little salicylic acid, no more than 10-15% (if we are talking about cleansers), and no more than 40% in peels and scrubs. In addition, the composition contains other components that reduce the effect of acid on the skin.

Aspirin face mask is very effective, which can be explained by the following parameters:

• Direct action on the focus of inflammation. Inflammation occurs due to the too active action of hyaluronidase. The active component of the mask reduces its activity, reduces the access of blood in the vessels to the base of inflammation.
• Reducing pain. Acetylsalicylic acid reduces the sensitivity of pain points, due to which relief is immediately felt.

Due to their antibacterial properties, aspirin face masks are very effective against acne, pimples and rashes. But rejuvenation is more of a myth that appeared due to the cleansing and healing of the outer layer of the epidermis, making it smooth and tender. The action of a face mask with acetylsalicylic acid from the first time will not eliminate all skin problems, however, with its constant use, they practically disappear, eliminating oiliness at the same time.

Applying the finished composition, you will immediately feel the effect of light peeling. After this home procedure, you should not immediately go for a walk, especially if the day turned out to be sunny. Apply a protective cream to your face beforehand to avoid the negative effects of ultraviolet rays. Also positive actions after application will be:

• cleansing of all layers of the dermis;
• removal of dead cells;
• getting rid of acne and comedones;
• cleansing and narrowing of pores;
• getting rid of small wrinkles;
• elimination of edema and irritation;
• epidermis whitening;
• maintaining moisture balance;
• light skin tightening.

When using any product, especially face masks, it is important to take into account all the nuances: skin type, application time, post-application care, and especially the components included in the composition. If the technology is misused or violated, the effect will be exactly the opposite of what was expected.

Most often, an aspirin remedy is prescribed for the fair sex, who have an oily dermis, or they have frequent rashes and comedones. The constant use of cosmetic preparations containing acetylsalicylic acid in their composition will help achieve the desired effect. Especially popular are masks that help restore and maintain the water balance of the epidermis.

Indications for which you should use aspirin masks:

• for the treatment of acne, inflammation, acne;
• normalization of the intercellular space;
• strengthening the walls of blood vessels;
• getting rid of black dots and allergic reactions;
• improvement of skin color;
• elimination of oily unhealthy shine;
• restoration of the structure and elasticity of the epidermis.

The effect of acne treatment is achieved due to the property of aspirin to destroy inflammation. Within a few hours after application, you will see a noticeable result. But there is no therapeutic effect on the focus of inflammation itself, so if the rash is caused by allergies or bacteria, then the mask will have a temporary effect, since it will eliminate the symptoms, not the cause.

• improvement of skin color;
• elimination of oily unhealthy shine;
• restoration of the structure and elasticity of the epidermis.

You can get rid of acne without visiting beauty salons, but by doing the necessary procedure at home. The mask, due to the acid content, dissolves dark spots. The effect will be temporary, and after a few days the points will return to their places. This is due to the uncontrolled work of the sebaceous glands. With indications for use, everything is more or less clear. Now let's move on to contraindications.

The use of an aspirin mask is categorically not recommended in the following cases:

• the presence of an allergy to acetylsalicylic acid;
• pregnancy and lactation;
• dilated vessels and capillaries;
• fresh wounds, burns, abrasions on the face;
• sensitive, too dry or very thin skin;
• bronchitis;
• tanned skin;
• the period of rehabilitation after surgery;
• the period after epilation;
• dryness that appeared after the first application of the mask.

Since acetylsalicylic acid has the property of drying the dermis, this can deplete the cells. It is recommended that after applying such a product, moisturize the skin with a lotion or tonic.

Each tool has its own characteristics when preparing or using. For a cosmetic home procedure, you need the simplest cheap acetylsalicylic acid from a pharmacy. Never use effervescent expensive aspirin. The additional substances included in its composition may reduce the effect of the action.

You need to prepare your face for applying the mask - wash off makeup, wash with a cleanser. If possible, steam the skin.

In no case do not apply the composition that has just been made to the face! First, check how he behaves. To do this, a small amount of the mixture must be applied to the wrist or elbow. After a quarter of an hour, check for redness and if the mask has caused discomfort. In the absence of the latter, you can safely apply the composition on the face, but not on the thin skin around the eyes, pay special attention to problem areas. The exposure time is from three to twenty minutes. Overexposure may cause chemical burns.

If the reaction of the skin of the face to the acetylsalicylic mask is expressed by itching, discomfort or a desire to scratch, immediately wash off the mixture and do not use the medicine for cosmetic purposes in the future.

It is better to use the composition with aspirin at bedtime, because during the night period the dermis will calm down, and in the morning you will see the result; and also at night the skin is not exposed to harmful ultraviolet radiation. Do not store the rest of the product, as it will lose its properties. If you do not take into account the characteristics of your skin type, for example, if you apply a mask to a dry or sensitive dermis, then you can only worsen its condition.

These masks should not be used frequently. Use them once or twice a week, changing the components of the composition, otherwise you can dry out the epidermis. But in no case do not break the recipe.

See below for some video tips on preparing and applying the mask.
