Alpha-Hydroxy mask and lotion made at home

Saw a blurb on Dr. Oz about alpha-hydroxy and aging skin so did a search to gather more information.  Came upon this blog.  Check it out.  I'm hoping to do a girls night or day with a few of these recipes for us to try out. I found there are actually many, many recipes on this topic and plenty of information.

 Here is the recipes I am most interested in:

1.   Treat inflammatory cystic acne breakouts with a natural salicylic acid mask. The most common source of salicylic acid is aspirin, but it can also be found in smaller amounts in aloe and strawberries.

Dissolve 1-3 crushed aspirin in a few drops of lemon juice (a great source of another alpha hydroxy acid, citric acid). Add aloe vera gel and 2-3 mashed strawberries to form a paste. Apply the salicylic acid mask to face for 10-25 minutes, 3-5 times per week. Then rinse well with warm water. You can also use the mask as a spot treatment for breakouts as needed. Alpha hydroxy acids, like salicylic acid, can easily be made at home to treat imperfections effectively just like many of the AHA skin products found in stores, but for a fraction of the price.
