I would like to thank whoever posted about the aspirin face mask a little while ago on a bargain beauty thread.
today i spent about 40p on some soluble aspirin. I dissolved about 5 in a bit of natural yoghurt and left on my face for 15 mins......its amazing
I honestly look about 10 yrs younger. HONESTLY!! my face is smoother than a babies bum. and it cost 40p!!!

anyway you must try it. I had to share the news that it actually works.

Nah, I've been putting weird shit on my face for years.

Please try brushig yourself down with coffee grounds in the shower. It's bloody messy but bloody fantastic. I keep putting it on these threads and o one ever tries it.

You just use ground coffee, used, as a body scrub and then was with your normal wash ... and then wash the shower but it is brilliant.

Oh, I'll try anything! Thanks for the tip.

Used grounds or fresh? I only have espresso, is that OK?

Oh, you said used. Grand. I'll save some up.

Just did a quick hand scrub with some grounds from my last cup of coffee, wow!

I'd no idea coffee was so fatty! It was espresso grounds so too fine to really scrub much but still my hands feel ever so soft and lovely

It'd take me a couple of days of saving espresso grounds to have enough for my whole body, I fear the first grounds would be manky before I had enough. WIBU to buy some very cheap coffee for the cafetiere just so I can try it properly?

Oh no. You will be pleased. They do last three or four days though. Maybe in the fridge? I've never tried. We're a half spanish house here so much coffee is drunk.

For those that are wondering why this works, Asprin is a derivative of salicylic acid which is the active ingredient in most exfoliating products.

Is is actually truly OK to put aspirin all over your face? It's not the modern day version of smearing lead paste over your face is it? Cause you do absorb stuff through your skin which is why you have to be careful with essential oils and stuff as it can get in your bloodstream.
