A skin care revolution!!!

I LOVE makeup. As in, LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! I belong to several different makeup boards and follow a makeup artist's blogspot page; not to mention reading several different "fashion" mags a month. So, imagine my surprise when I came across this tip to amazingly soft skin!!!

Ingredients:

Noxzema
NON-coated aspirin (not Tylenol or ibuprofen - ASPIRIN. I use one called "Bufferin" - it's about 2 bucks at Walgreens for 120 tablets.
Warm water

First, spread Noxzema all over your face. Take three aspirin tablets and dissolve them in the palm of your hand with warm water. Spread this paste over your face, working it into the Noxzema. (I use Noxzema because it helps spread the paste and helps it adhere to your face.) Pay close attention to your more dry areas like your cheeks. AVOID YOUR EYES!!! Let it sit for about two minutes and then rinse off. Make sure you moisturize!!!

I am not kidding you - it's amazing. I was blessed with pretty nice skin (it helps that I avoid sun exposure, but I break out around my period time). But, this has gotten rid of my annual winter dryness, helped clear up my blemishes on my chin from period time/phone use, and in general, just evens out my skin. AH-MAZ-ING. Try it today!

(BTW - I do this twice a week TOPS, but at least once a week.) Anymore than that and I think it would be too harsh.
