Aspirin and lemon, when combined in a homemade skin cream, have many beneficial effects because of their natural constituents. Aspirin, whose chemical name is acetylsalicylic acid, has anti-inflammatory properties and exfoliating properties that help diminish the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet, and other skin imperfections. But lemon, which is high in citric acid and vitamin C, is known to lighten skin tone and help fade black spots. Lemon can make skin more susceptible to UV radiation, therefore it’s important to be careful when applying DIY treatments on delicate skin or when going outside in the sun.

In-depth instructions for making and using this aspirin and lemon cream recipe are available here:

What you need:

three pills of aspirin

A squeeze of one lemon

Instructions:
To make the aspirin powder, crush the pills using a pestle and mortar or the back of a spoon until they are finely ground.

Incorporate Lemon Juice: After obtaining the juice from a squeezed lemon, combine it with the crushed aspirin and mix until a paste is formed that is free of lumps.

Practical Use:

Practical Use:

To prepare your face for application, wash it with warm water to open pores, then dry it off with a clean towel.

Apply the lotion to your face in a light, circular motion with your fingertips; be careful not to get it in your eyes. Circular movements can be used to increase absorption.

Depart From:

Because lemon juice may be drying and irritating, be careful not to keep the combination on your skin for too long; instead, let it about 10 minutes to settle.

Cleanse Well:

After you rinse the mixture off with cool water, use a towel to pat your skin dry. This will shut your pores.
