Hi Jamie, the aspirin mask is a DIY recipe that addresses congestion. Have a look at the DIY thread -
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5981&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
I love this mask  Its one of the many fab solutions I found in this forum, thanks to the encouragement of Carekate and Faith in particular. If congestion is an issue for you and if you are not allergic to aspirin, I highly recommend that you try it. HTH |

| it's similar to salicylic acid, helps clogged pores, redness, blackheads and blemishes. Crush up 5 to 6 aspirins and dissolve in some water to make a paste, leave it on your face for 15 to 20 minutes. |

| The recipe is very flexible and you can tweak it to suit your needs. I think most people here use yogurt as a base for the lactic acid boost. I use just aloe vera gel myself coz I don't do well with AHAs. It is also perfectly fine to use only water. |

Actually, it *is* salicylic acid! |
