My go-to travel mask: 2 ingredients
I thought I would share this, because my female coworker tried it recently and loved it. If you google "aspirin mask", you will find many variations, but I use this one because it is usually easy to find honey, and I always travel with aspirin. So here it is: I just take 6 uncoated or lightly coated aspirin tablets, dissolve them in my hand with a little warm water, squeeze a honey packet, and mix it all together in my hand. I spread it all over my face and let it dry for about 20 minutes. I then wet my face a little and lightly scrub to exfoliate a little more before washing it off with warm water and a wash cloth. The aspirin exfoliates, and the honey moisturizes and is antibacterial. My face feels amazingly soft after this mask. I do it at least once a week when I am traveling, because my skin seems to go crazy as soon as I enter a plane or hotel room. Hope this helps someone!

I use crushed aspirin with glycerin & a little warm water after bikini waxes^ Can't remember where I first got that recipe, but it works (I was making the recipe before commercial products like "bikini zone" came on the market - these days I suppose it's just as easy to buy a product....)
Aspirin is wonderful

I find it very drying with just water, even if I use a moisturizer afterward. I guess it just depends on the person's skin.

I have found gylcerine by the digestive aids in drugstores. This is glycerine I use to make liquid soap, so I am not sure if it is the same kind used for the bikini area.

I find glycerin at Walmart or drug stores in the first aid section - near isopropl alcohol, witch hazel, etc. Not all stores will have it, but I live in rural NC and our Walmart has it, so.....
(this is the CVS version from their website - same size bottle I get at Walmart: http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-deta...P?skuId=483707 )
