Skin care is something my mom and grandmother always stressed. Having a tendancy towards dry skin I am always questing for something that will give me that smooth clear complexion.
While browsing some videos one day I saw this gal with the most beautiful skin and was compelled to find out why. Her secret? Uncoated asprin. Yes you read correctly! It was a little tricky to find at first, but was able to find it at the local dollar store. Yes, you got it... something that works that only costs a buck! Who knew?
At the end of your shower, just take two or three in your hand with a little water until they disolve creating a paste. Smooth over your face 'gently' like you would any other exfoliator. Rinse. Not only does this give you incredibly smooth skin, I have also found this healed any old acne scars I had. But it doesn't stop there, I have found that it also helps prevent new acne from appearing and if you do get the occasional bump, wash with it and it will be gone in no time at all!
What makes this mask work?
“Aspirin is great for your skin. The basic function of it is as an analgesic and antipyretic, but more importantly, as far as skin care, is its anti-inflammatory power. This is important when it comes to treatment of acne and other inflammation processes on the skin. Aspirin also contains acetyl-salicylic acid AKA Beta Hydroxy Acid, widely used in cosmetics as it is able to slough off skin cells thus preventing the clogging of pores.”
I love Lancome Absolue. I have been using it for over a year now. In fact my Sister-in-Law wears it as well now. You do need to go about a shade darker than normal. I am typically pretty pale and find that the paler colors are almost too pale. This foundation will give you that healthy glow without feeling greasy. Before finding this on a whim I was wearing the mineral powders and will never go back!
I had read another post on the over all look of this in photos appearing too pale, but my guess would be that its just not the correct shade fo you... as I have never had this problem with it. Or I would say don't use a flash. The flash with give anyone horrible coloring!
