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. Everyone knows this medicine as an excellent antipyretic drug, but few have considered it as cosmetic. 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 evaluated the effect of this substance.

Acetylsalicylic acid (also known as aspirin) first appeared in 1838, and was registered as a medical drug in 1897. Homeland of this tool is Germany. Company Bayer AG is the sole 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 tool that has a natural, natural composition based on the bark of willow trees. Surely it will be found in any home medicine chest, because it is used for pain relief, to reduce body heat, to reduce blood clots in blood 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 pronounced in regulating the work of the sebaceous glands and sweating, due to which redness and irritation of the skin, acne rash are reduced and soon disappear. This is achieved by increasing the blood flow to the upper layers of the skin, since in this case it is full nutrition with vitamins and beneficial components. With continued external use of aspirin, the epidermis healsdue to strong antibacterial effect tapering pores, face looks younger and fresher. That is why the mask with acetylsalicylic acid is very popular in home cosmetic skin care products.

Aspirin is widely used in modern life because of its beneficial properties. But it is necessary to distinguish between store and home. Just about home cosmetology and about the use of acetylsalicylic acid in it and will be discussed further. After all, it is unlikely that you will be able to find the same effective drug among the wide range of cosmetic products in the store.

Of course, we can now recall that it is easy to find masks for the face, which include salicylic acid, on the market. In fact, this is the same component. But not really. The composition of such store goods meets a strict recipe, where each component is present in a certain proportion. As a rule, salicylic acid in them is very small, 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 effect on the focus of inflammation. Inflammation occurs due to 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 its antibacterial properties, aspirin facial masks are very effective against acne, acne and rashes. But rejuvenation is more likely a myth that appeared due to the purification and healing of the outer layer of the epidermis, making it smooth and gentle. The action of a face mask with acetylsalicylic acid from the first time does not eliminate all skin problems, but with its constant use, they almost disappear, eliminating at the same time and fat.

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 was sunny. Pre-apply a protective cream on your face 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 swelling and irritation;
• whitening of the epidermis;
• maintaining moisture balance;
• easy skin tightening.

When applying any means, especially face masks, it is important to take into account all the nuances: skin type, application time, care after application, and especially the components that make up it. If used improperly or in violation of technology, the effect will be exactly the opposite of what was expected.

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

• 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 site of inflammation itself, so if the rash is caused by allergies or bacteria, the mask will have a temporary effect, since it will eliminate the symptoms and not the cause.

• improving skin color;

You can get rid of acne without visiting beauty salons, but by doing the necessary procedure at home. Mask due to its acid content dissolves dark spots. The effect will be temporary, and in a few days the dots will return to their places. This is due to the uncontrolled work of the sebaceous glands. The indications for use are more or less clear. We now turn to contraindications.

Since acetylsalicylic acid has the ability to dry the dermis, it can deplete the cells. Recommended after applying such a means to moisturize the skin with lotion or tonic.

Each tool has its own characteristics when preparing or using. For the cosmetic home procedure you need the simplest cheap acetylsalicylic acid from the pharmacy. Do not use effervescent expensive aspirin. Additional substances in its composition may reduce the effect of the action.

Your face should be prepared for applying a mask - wash off makeup, wash your face with a cleansing agent. If possible, steam out the skin.

In any case, the composition that has just been made should not be applied directly to the face! First check how he behaves.

In the absence of the latter, it is safe to apply the composition on the face, but not on the thin skin around the eyes; pay special attention to the problem areas. The exposure time is from three to twenty minutes. Overexposure can cause chemical burns.

If the reaction of the skin 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 before bedtime, since during the night period the dermis will calm down, and in the morning you will see the result obtained; and at night, the skin is not exposed to harmful ultraviolet radiation. Do not keep the balance because it will lose its properties. If you do not take into account the peculiarities of your skin type, for example, if you apply a mask on a dry or sensitive dermis, then you can only worsen its condition.

Do not use such masks often. Use them once or twice a week, changing the components of the composition, otherwise you can dry out the epidermis. But in any case, do not violate the recipe.
