Fight Acne With These Surprising Skin Savers

Aspirin Mask

Aspirin contains salicylic acid, which is one of the most common (and gentlest) treatments for acne and inflammation. Sarah Howard at BeautyBanter writes that when combined with moisturizing honey (which also has natural anti-bacterial properties), crushed aspirin can make a big difference on acne-prone skin (with minimal irritation).

How To: Mix five to seven crushed aspirin pills with a touch of water to make a paste. Mix in one teaspoon of honey, and apply to skin for seven-to-15 minutes and rinse.
