When it comes to the skin of my face, I have scorched earth/epic flood policy. That is to say, I believe in exfoliation and tons of moisture.
I have tried every topical treatment for clear skin imaginable. My skin still breaks out – hormones. Bitches. But the condition of my skin is pretty good. Great, I would say. I don’t think my skin looks 30 years old. This is mostly because I avoided the sun for most of my teens and 20s. FACT: Being an inside kid makes you look young.
I have one secret. Just one. Aspirin and honey. 10 aspirin, 1/2 tsp of water, and 1 tsp of honey. I smoosh it together and put it on my face. I let it dry. I rinse it off. Then I put vitamin E oil mixed with tea tree oil on my face (3:1 mix).
I do that once in a blue moon. And when I do, I love my skin.
Aspirin? Seriously? I HAVE ASPIRIN. And my skin is not so nice, despite avoiding the sun actively for lo these 30 years.
I think at this point my skin is beyond saving, but your secret formula sounds interesting. Maybe I should do that once in a blue moon too.
Well, I liked your suggestion and gave it a shot this afternoon. I feel tingly-fresh!
