How to Make Dr Oz’s Aspirin & Lemon Juice Skin Home Remedy
Instructions:
Doctor Oz said that this Flawless Skin Home Remedy is a great way to clear your complexion. The aspirin has salicylic acid which helps to remove acne and pimples since it is like a chemical peel. The lemon juice has vitamin C and helps minimize sun damage to your skin. Baking soda works great at the end to neutralize the salicylic acid.
1. Mash up 6-12 non-coated aspirins and combine with freshly squeeze lemon juice.
2. Let the aspirin dissolve until it turns into a paste.
3. Apply the mask to your skin and leave it on for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the face mask by dipping a cotton round in some baking soda and some water.
Aspirin can be expensive. What’s the benefit to doing this over some topical salcylic acid treatment that you don’t have to mix yourself? I can see the benefit of the lemon but not the baking soda. Seems like a lot of work for a remedy that is readily available?
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid): decomposes to salicylic acid which increases cell exfoliation and is anti-bacterial
Lemon juice: Citric acid wards off oxidation (like the browning of an apple slice)
Baking soda: neutralizes the acidic lemon juice in the event you would get it into your eyes
I am willing to try. I have had acne for most of my life. How often do u do the mask?
I have to say, I just did this and it is FANTASTIC!! I got bottle of aspirin at the Dollar Store for $1, Lemon juice (instead of fresh lemons) for $1.85, and baking soda I already had…which is about $.86…so it’s definitely much cheaper and very easy. It was different feeling when I took the mask off with the baking soda and water….it was slightly painful for a second. I’m assuming a real chemical peel is much worse! Anyhow…I loved it, and will definitely be using this again.
