The acetylsalicylic acid contained in aspirin helps in keeping the skin healthy and clear. Also, it contains beta hydroxyl acid that helps to cure itchiness and redness on the skin.

Aspirin helps in reducing the formation of clogged pores which prevents acne and outbreaks. It reduces the puffiness under the eyes making you look fresh. Another advantage of using aspirin as a face mask is that it reduces the discolouration of the skin by removing the dead skin cells.

So after knowing all these advantages of aspirin on the skin, let us see how we can use it in the form of a face pack. Read on!
