How To Get Rid Of Adult Acne

1. Fish out some good old aspirin from the medicine cabinet.
   
2. Crush the aspirin(s) in a small plate, or even on your clean bathroom counter. Large, hard objects are ideal for crushing, such as you cleanser cap. Just make sure the cleanser is closed and then begin to pound away at the aspirin. The aspirin should be a fine dust when finished.
   
3. Now mix aspirin(s) dust with a quarter sized amount of mask if you have one, or two-four drops of plain tap water, either way, add just enough so that the dust is mixed in, not dissolved.
   
4. Scrub your face/T-zone LIGHTLY with the about half of the solution (place the remaining half on the counter/plate) for about thirty seconds. Rinse
   
5. Apply the remaining half directly on the pimple and allow it to sit for at least 5 minutes.
   

• Use stronger aspirin for larger pimples, and weaker aspirin for smaller pimples.
  
• Uncoated aspirin is easier to crush and use, but you may also use coated.
  
• A clay masque is a great thing to mix the aspirin in because it will also help disinfect and reduce the pimple redness and size.
  
• Use the aspirin scrub once or twice a week for clear, glowing skin.
  
• Use the aspirin spot treatment once or twice every other day for pimple treatment.
  
• Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory.
  
• Allowing the aspirin to sit for longer amounts of time will result in less redness and swelling of the pimple.
  

• Though rare, some are allergic to aspirin, please check to see if you are by testing the aspirin spot treatment behind your ear.
  

• Aspirin (uncoated or coated)
  
• Facial Masque/Water

1. Leave your pimples alone. Do not pop a pimple or scratch it, this will cause the scars. Instead, leave them alone, and you will reduce scarring to your face.
   
2. Keep your face clean. Wash your face with a facewash twice a day and apply moisturizer.
   
3. At night, with warm water, wash your face with a facewash or scrub, then splash with cold water to close your pores.

5. Apply the tissue oil to your face, applying it equally to each part of your face.Massage it in for 5 minutes, and then leave it until you go to bed.
   
6. Before getting into bed, take a tissue, and dab your face to remove the oil
   

• It is best to apply tissue oil every night, for about two weeks. If your scars are not fading, then apply it until you see a change.
  
• If you are applying tissue oil on your face, use a headband to prevent oil from getting into your hair.
  
• Tissue oil is not the only thing that removes scars; other creams and moisturisers are available. Use what suits you.
  

• Do not use tissue oil during the day. If you have oil on your face, and go out in the sun, the oil will heat up on your face and possibly cause more scarring.
  
• If you have oily skin with pimples present, it is recommended that you do not use tissue oil as this will increase the oil composition in your skin, and this could make your pimples worse.
