I made it myself and no one believed me, this mask helps you eliminate wrinkles and spots.
Creating a homemade skin cream using aspirin and lemon can offer some benefits due to the properties of these ingredients. Aspirin, known scientifically as acetylsalicylic acid, has anti-inflammatory properties and can act as an exfoliant, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crow’s feet, and blemishes. Lemon, on the other hand, contains vitamin C and citric acid, which can brighten the skin and help fade dark spots. However, it’s important to use such homemade remedies with caution, especially on sensitive skin or in sunlight, as lemon can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
Here’s a more detailed guide on making and using this homemade aspirin and lemon cream:
Ingredients:
3 aspirin tablets
Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions:
Prepare the Aspirin: Crush the aspirin tablets into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon.
Mix with Lemon Juice:
Squeeze the lemon to obtain its juice. Mix the lemon juice with the crushed aspirin until you get a homogeneous paste. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Application: Before applying the mixture, cleanse your face thoroughly with warm water to help open the pores. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Apply the Cream: Use your fingertips to apply the cream to your face, avoiding the eye area. Gently massage the mixture onto your skin in circular motions to enhance absorption.
Leave On: Allow the mixture to sit on your skin for about 10 minutes. Because lemon juice can be drying and potentially irritating, it’s important not to leave it on for too long.
Rinse Off: Rinse the mixture off with cool water to help close the pores. Pat your skin dry with a towel.
Moisturize: Follow up with a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated, as both aspirin and lemon can be drying.
Precautions:
Patch Test: Always do a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying the mixture to your entire face, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Sun Sensitivity: Lemon juice can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the risk of sunburn. Use this cream at night and apply sunscreen during the day.
Not for Everyone: Avoid this remedy if you are allergic to aspirin, have cuts or open wounds on your face, or if your skin reacts poorly to acidic substances like lemon juice.
This homemade cream can be a cost-effective way to address certain skin concerns. However, for persistent skin issues or if you experience adverse reactions, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist.
