⚠️ Important: Aspirin is a medication, not a cosmetic product. Some popular online “beauty hacks” involving aspirin have little scientific evidence behind them and may irritate the skin. Always do a patch test first and consult a healthcare professional if you have sensitive skin, allergies, or medical conditions.
