I know what you mean about being lazy, I really need to exfoliate regularly - I have a problem with clogged pores :( You are absolutely right - it's important to patch test first, thanks for the tip! :) Hi Kavi!

It is amazing !! I have dry skin. This removes all the flakiness and my skin feels sooo soft. I use it with the honey which I believe has a moisturizing effect. Everytime I use this my DH comments on how glowy my skin looks. It's just sheer laziness that prevents me from doing this regularly :) You might want to test it out on a small patch the first time, because some people are allergic to salicylic acid.

If you want to use a wash afterward to get rid of the aspirin remnants, be sure to use something mild and soap-free so you don't dry out your skin further. Hope that helps! :) Hi FABB,

Do I have to cleanse my face with some cleanser first then apply the aspirin mask? No kidding I’ve just heard about this remedy a few days ago from a friend, but haven’t tried it.

If you have makeup on, then definitely wash your face first. I always do the mask on a night when I haven't been using makeup so I apply the mask directly without pre-washing. I personally like to use a cleanser after the aspirin because I don't like the smell, but make sure to use one that is soap-free to minimize the drying effect - I use Positively Radiant by Aveeno. I don't believe sunblocks are adequate moisturizers unless they are moisturizers that have spf in them. Sunblocks tend to have main ingredients of avobenzone, titanium dioxide or zinc oxide rather than moisturizing ingredients. Again, aveeno is my favorite as it has moisturizers with spf30 in them. If you live in the UK or Canada you may be able to find a moisturizer with higher spf. Also, remember - don't use a moisturizer with spf at night - let your skin breathe!
