Aspirin is salicylic acid, same thing as in many blemish treatments without all the added gunk, far cheaper as well.

That makes sense; I hardly break out (T-Zone occasionally), let alone the tricks of the trade to treat these. I do however get razor bumps pretty easily. Do you think that some variant involving aspirin and natural ingredients may help the bikini line if used after shaving?

It could. Here are the ingredients for Tend Skin: Isopropyl Alcohol, Water (reverse osmosis), Propylene Glycol, Acetylsalicylate, Glycerin, Cyclomethicone

Aspirin is the fourth ingredient. It's basically a solution of rubbing alcohol, purified water, aspirin, and a few extras added to make it feel good on the skin. If you are going to experiment with it try small batches and test patch, especially in that area!!!!Good luck!

I use a few tablespoons of liquid honey and 3 or 4 aspirin softened with a few drops of water. Mixed together and applied to my face for half an hour. I love it. You get the benefits of the honey and the aspirin, and when you wash it off with a face cloth the aspirin acts as a great exfoliant. Love this. I do it once a week and my skin has never been better.

Here are some I have read/heard about recently:

Fade Cream (lighten age spots and sun damaged upper chest) - Mix the juice of 1 lemon, 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 ounces of plain yogurt. Gently massage into each spot. Use at least once a week.

Cellulite - Copy the expensive herbal wraps offered by top spas. Mix 1 cup of corn oil with 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice and 2 teaspoons dried thyme. Massage into hip and thigh area. Cover with plastic wrap to lock in body heat. For extra results, lay a heating pad over each area for about 5 minutes.

Sunburn - Add some baking soda to your bath. Or instant oatmeal.

Glowing skin - Combine a cup of instant milk powder with 3 drops of almond oil. Add this to your bath. Soak for at least 15 minutes, then using a coarse wash cloth or loofah, rub vigorously to exfoliate dead skin.

Preventing and treating stretch marks - wheat germ oil (available in health food stores)

Face mask for sensitive skin - Apply Pepto-Bismol straight from the bottle with a cotton swab. Allow it to dry and rinse with cool water.

Revitalize and nourish your skin - Soak whole dried beans or lentils overnight. Mash and add a small amount of honey. Apply over face and neck. Leave it on for about 5 minutes and rinse.

Oily Skin Mask - Mash up a ripe tomato and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Firming Mask - Mash up a ripe banana. Add just enough honey to make a soft pulp. Apply over face.

Not sure if you've heard of this before, but i used to get eczama as a kid, and a great remedy is buying some knee-high stockings, filling them with about 1/2-1 CUP of oatmeal, and taking it in the bath with you.. when it's wet you can squeeze it and a sort of milk will come out it's sooooooo soothing on eczama, not sure about the face.. but it is just oatmeal, so i really don't see why not
HTH, eczama is a horrible thing to have, so uncomfy!!

P.s- you have to tie the stocking, so all the oats don't come out. haha

Please be careful with this. Doctors/medical professionals are warning people not to do this mask. The medication is absorbed through your skin, and you can be taking too much in, easily.

More tips for eczema: Try using grapeseed oil! It worked wonders for me. Just apply a little bit to the affected area daily. Also, this isn't a "home recipe" but there is a product called Eczema no more that's a combination of oils that really does the trick. I don't remember where I bought it, but I remember seeing it on amazon, of all places.

You must be really careful with this method cause it can be also quite agressive and it shouldn't be used often.
