I have the greatest job in the world! Helping my clients get healthy is a reward unlike any other.
Let's talk about skin health and aging.
Exfoliants help remove dead skin cells that weigh down and suffocate aging skin.
Exfoliants range in price from super cheap (which may be too harsh) to super expensive.
I have found that the most effective – and cheapest – way to exfoliate the skin is to use regular aspirin tablets. (Don't buy enteric coated aspirin for exfoliation) A bottle of 500 aspirin will cost you less than $10 and will last for up to a year depending on how many times you exfoliate your skin
In a small amount of warm water, crush five 325mg aspirin tablets to create a paste, and then spread on your face and neck. Allow it to dry before rinsing it off with a soft washcloth.
Aspirin is not only an anti-inflammatory, but the salicylic acid in aspirin loosens dead skin, revealing fresher, softer skin. Exfoliation with aspirin is recommended to be used no more than once per week.
Exfoliation with aspirin works! It's cost effective. It's powerful.
Be sure to check a small part of your body with this mixture PRIOR to using it on your face and neck.
BE SURE TO CHECK WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL PRIOR TO USE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ON BLOOD THINNING MEDICATIONS.
Yours in Health!
