** Here are a few question/answers that might be helpful: ** **Q:** What’s the benefit to doing this over some topical salicylic acid treatment that you don’t have to mix yourself?

** A: ** **Aspirin** (acetylsalicylic acid): decomposes to salicylic acid which increases cell exfoliation and is anti-bacterial

 * Lemon juice: **Citric acid wards off oxidation (like the browning of an apple slice)
 * Baking soda: ** neutralizes the acidic lemon juice in the event you would get it into your eyes

** Q: ** How often do you apply this, once a week? ** Q: ** I could not find un-coated aspirin so I used coated. Will the coating harm my face? **Q:** The paste was flaking off my face…is there something I can add to it?
 * A: **1-2 times a week. (Not recommended for sensitive skin. Might be too drying.)
 * A: **Coated aspirin is fine. Just takes longer to dissolve. Un-coated is actually fairly hard to find.
 * A: **A teaspoon of **[|honey]** or [|**olive oil**] or [|**aloe vera**] will help bind the mixture together.
