27 Bizarre Home Remedies That Actually Work

Use Aspirin For Pimples

If you ever run out of your go-to spot treatment for acne, consider making your own with this natural remedy. Crushed up aspirin can be made into an acne treatment as it contains the same active ingredient in most acne creams and cleansers: salicylic acid. This key ingredient helps to dry out pimples, reduce the size of pores and reduces overall inflammation. Make a paste out of the crushed up tablets and apply directly on infected areas. Clean off the paste after 10 minutes and make sure to apply an oil-free moisturizer afterward as the aspirin can dry out skin resulting in flaking.
