'I usually swallow aspirin, yogurt

'I usually swallow aspirin, yogurt and honey, but now I'm saving some for my face,' she says, adding that the mask should be a 'cold cream-like consistency.'
Ms Nottingham says that the concoction should not be used by people with allergies to dairy or aspirin - those who are unsure should do a patch test behind the ear first.
She leaves her aspirin face mask on for ten to 20 minutes. Once it has dried she uses a warm, damp washcloth to remove it.
'Marvel at how smooth and soft your skin feels,' she exclaims.
Ms Nottingham, who suffers from papulopustular rosacea - a common skin disorder characterized by redness with bumps and pimples - says she uses the mask twice a week.
She highlights that if salicylic acid is used too often or improperly, it can cause the skin to thin and become dry.
After three months of using her DIY treatment, she says that her complexion has 'never looked better' and her pores seem 'a bit more calm and collected.'
For those with dry skin, she recommends adding more honey, and for those with oily skin, the amount of yogurt should be increased.
In place of both ingredients, moisturizer or aloe vera gel, she says, work just as well.
Along with the aspirin mask, Ms Nottingham's simple skin care routine includes using a daily cleanser, followed by a moisturizer with SPF.
She says cutting back on alcohol and diet soda also helps keep her skin in better shape.
A quick search online shows that aspirin has long been recommended as an acne treatment.
On acne.org, out of 639 visitors, 86per cent recommend it as an effective treatment.
One online commentator writes: 'May not work for everyone, but it worked for me.
'I tried the [aspirin mask] a few weeks ago, and I'm pleased. It really helps with inflammation, pigmentation and helps even out the skintone. I also notice a difference in my acne.'
Other unusual DIY acne treatments include toothpaste and even clay-based kitty litter.
