Doctor Oz did a segment on his viewer’s Beauty Secret Home Remedies and an audience member at Dr Oz’s show spoke about this Flawless Skin Home Remedy or acne / pimple home remedy. I absolutely love when Dr Oz does these home remedy segments, because especially during this rough economic times, we can all really appreciate the concept of a “Pantry Spa” or making a spa with items in your kitchen pantry! 
Dr Oz said this Aspirin and Lemon Juice Face Mask or Facial does work! You just need a few uncoated aspirins, freshly squeezed lemon juice, baking soda and some water. I have tried aspirin masks before because I have very disobedient skin that is acne-prone, and the salicylic acid in aspirin is definitely a fabulous home remedy. Here is the full Aspirin & Lemon Juice Facial from Dr Oz’s Viewer Home Remedies.

How often do you apply this, once a week?
I could not find uncoated asprin so I used coated. Will the coating harm my face?
Regina, I have never tried using uncoated aspirin, so I cannot tell you what will happen. If you try it out, please report back and share with us!
Aundra,
Twice a week… The days should be a little spread out because you don’t want to over-care your skin.. I just did it last night. It’s fantastic! The Lemon reacts with the baking soda causing it to hurt a little when you take it off, but I saw results by the next morning.. Good luck!
And Regina,
I used uncoated, but it has a tiny coat.. It works fine, my skin looks great!
Thanks for the great tips Maddie!
This remedy is awesome!!!! ive always had such stubborn acneeee!! nothing worked on it ever!! ive even taken acutane and after the treament was over my acne came bak! i started using this remedy last week and jus in a week my skin feels soo great!!!
Cannot wait to try this! Do you do the mask after you wash your face or is before better? Or does it not really make a difference?
Great question Karrah! I am not sure what others do (so please chime in!), but I tend to do it after my shower, because I feel like my pores are most open after my shower from the steam and warm water.
I am from the Caribbean and find it difficult to get lemons. Can I use LIME instead
I used it and my Acne got REALLy red the next day is that to be expected the first use..and only use 2x’s a week correct?
Jackie – I am not sure what other people’s experiences have been like, but for me, my acne did not get very red the next day… in fact my skin looked a bit better already by the next day. I only do the mask twice a week, but I suppose you could do it more often (if you have very oily skin) or less often (if you have dry or sensitive skin).
Daliah – I am not sure if you will get exactly the same results from Lime as you would from Lemon… but Limes are still acidic, so it might just work! If you test it out, let us know how it works with limes!
I have only used this once, but is it just for acne, because i don not really have that. i have fine bumps, skin looks dull andi get black heads alot bcause my skin is realy oily. Will this facial help with that because the lady on the show skin looks amazing.
I used this treatment just to day and my skin already has a glow and my acne is getting better! Is it okay to use organic 100% lemon juice instead of a squeezed lemon?
Will this also help with sunspots and acne scares?
Can you use this on your back as well? or is it just for facial purposes.
Melissa – I don’t see why you couldn’t use it on your back, though you might need a partner to help you put it on. If you try it out, let us know how it works on your back!
Jennie, I have not heard about anyone using it for sunspots, but if you experiment, please let us know if it works! I have heard of several people telling me that the Aspirin & Lemon Juice mask has helped with their acne scars.
Bobbie – I think freshly squeeze lemon juice is always the best, but I have heard of people doing this successfully substituting water for the lemon juice, so you could give it a try and see how it works for you.
Hey, this looks like a great idea! I think I will try it, but I have a few questions first.
1.) what are the measurements for each, how much lemon juice and baking soda
2.) How exactly do I take it off? Do I just rub it off with the cotton ball? Can I just mix in all the ingredients and just rinse it all off?
I’m going to try this but where did you get the non-coated aspirin from exactly because I can’t find it.
About how long will this take to clear up my whole face???
Hi, could you please tell me, which is more effective , aspirin with honey or aspirin with lemon ?
I really like the idea of this! I looked up the recipe and am excited to try it at home! I have some acne that I would love to get rid of!
I have white bumps. will this work?
Hey, everyone! I can’t find anywhere the whole treatment….I mean…How many aspirins are necessary for a mask?Thanks!!
Hi, I try every natural remedy but nothing works on me.
i have tried avocado, lemon juice, cucumber juice, benzol peroxide, rosewater and sandelwood
please help
I tried this last night and my skin is so smooth – even more smoother than getting a microdermabrasion. Great simple treatment. This morning it feels as great as it did straight after the treatment. I used over the face and neck.
Is it safe for my 14-year-old daughter to use this? I’m concerned about Reye Syndrome. It’s not being ingested so I’m not sure if there’s a risk or not. Thanks
Great question ConcernedMom… I am not 100% sure, so I would double check with your doctor first, but it has always been my understanding that children / teens should not take aspirin orally…
Just confuse do we need to add baking soda in this mask or not??? when u clicked the link there is nothing abt Baking Soda
I just rub the lemon on my face most nights before I go to be. In the morning my skin is soft and my complexion has greatly improved and i don’t get break-outs and blemishes anymore. I had oily skin and this has been the best thing I have used after spending countless dollars on OTC products and prescriptions. I have even stopped wearing make-up because my skin looks practically flawless. I also use the peel to exfoliate. Additionally, I drink lemon water everday. I have been on this regimen for 3 months and love the results.
This worked fantastic on my face but I wondered if I could use it on my vaj too? Lately it has been breaking out in blackheads and forming a dry crusty yellow layer. I want it to look young and smooth again, any thoughts?
I have tried EVERYTHING to countless over the counter scrubs, washes and masks, to costly microderms and laser treatments, I have nothing left to lose and am going to try this method! I will let you know if it works!
How many lemons or how much lemon juice?
Can you use this if you are pregnant?
can i use lemon juice concentrate? (like from a bottle)
How long will it take to get the flawless skin you want? I want to clear my skin from acne and acne scars.. Can you tell me how long it would take? and How many times I should used it?
coolsite.Thanks for showing us.
I absolutely love this facial. I took a good look at my face with a 5x mirror and scared my self I couldn’t belive my skin was so dry and flakey with large pores. I have been using this facial twice a week for 3 weeks now and I notive the difference. I alternate the lemon juice with Honey.
