EASY spot treatment for your skin.

I know as well as any of you that our daily lives can become very stressful with work, school, and just life in general. There always seems like there is so much to do but not enough time in the day to accomplish it.
So naturally with stress comes breakouts... doesn't matter what age you are, if you are stress your skin is the first place to show for it. If you have an unhealthy diet, lack of sleep, too much caffeine or just emotionally overwhelmed.... ALL OF THESE THINGS can lead to breakouts.....
I want to give you guys a easy way out these things.. Obviously as a women we wear makeup but I challenge you to on a weekend where you might not have as much going on, RELAX. Take a hot shower or bath whatever you prefer and apply this mask...
This mask is great for clearing up acne and itchy patches on your skin that caused by stressed and weather changes.


HOMEMADE ASPIRIN MASK
Ingredients:
*1-3 (white) aspirin pills
*coffee cup or glass cup
*shallow dish or bowl
*warm honey ( runny honey ), moisturizer made for the face or natural oil such as almond oil, olive oil or coconut oil.
PREP:
Depending on the amount of coverage needed.. ( the amount of breakouts on your face ) use about 1-3 aspirin. Crush the aspirin into small pieces by rolling the coffee cup or glass cup over them. Place aspirin in a shallow dish or bowl. Stir in a few drops of water to help the aspirin dissolve creating a paste like substance. Add warm honey, moisturizer or a bit of oil. STIR WELL. Apply the mask as a spot treatment to treat each individual pimple or itchy area. Allow the mask to dry and wash off after about 10 minutes.


ENJOY!!! xo
