No, I didn't make a typo! Aspirin doesn't just help with headaches: it can also help against pimples, why not give it a try:

How Aspirin works against pimples

Has a pimple appeared? Don't panic! Simply crush 5-6 tablets into a fine powder using a mortar and then mix with a few drops of chamomile tea or freshly boiled water. Then apply to the skin as a mask and rinse off with lukewarm water after leaving it on for 10-20 minutes.

Dissolve a tablet of aspirin in a little water. Apply a little of this to the pimple and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then wash off with water – this will reduce the redness!

Small note: oral intake of aspirin has absolutely no effect on pimples!

Why does aspirin have such an effect?

Aspirin consists of acetylsalicylic acid – salicylic acid is successfully used for peels. Therefore, it is no wonder that aspirin can achieve success in the fight against pimples. Why? Salicylic acid dissolves the upper horny layer of pimples and blackheads, the sebum can escape and the skin can calm down again.

  1. HI guys
    so I tried it with aspirin and….it helped.
    After just 3 applications the pimples were gone!!!
    Cool right? A tip: 2x per week is enough, later only 1x

  3. Hey.
    paracetamol doesn't work because it doesn't have the same active ingredient as aspirin.
    Best regards
