Aspirin can help loosen yellowish underarm stains from fabrics.
How to try it
- Dissolve 2 crushed aspirin in 1 cup (240 ml) warm water.
- Apply to the stain and let sit 1–3 hours.
- Launder as usual; air-dry first to ensure the stain is gone before heat-drying.
Good to know
- Colorfast test first. For delicates, consider a gentle oxygen-based stain remover instead.

6) Soften and Remove Calluses
By helping loosen thick, dead skin, an aspirin-lemon combo can make callus care easier—but keep it brief and targeted.
How to try it
- Crush 6–7 aspirin and mix with 1 teaspoon lemon juice plus ½ teaspoon water to a paste.
- Apply to callused soles only; avoid normal skin.
- Cover with a warm, damp towel and wrap lightly in plastic for 10 minutes.
- Remove wrap and gently buff with a pumice stone; moisturize afterward.
Good to know
- Do not use if you have diabetes, neuropathy, poor circulation, ulcers, or breaks in skin—see a podiatrist for safe care.
- Repeat no more than once weekly.
7) DIY Facial Exfoliating Mask (Very Gentle)
Aspirin can mimic a very light BHA-style exfoliation, but faces are sensitive—less is more.
How to try it
- Crush 3–5 aspirin and mix with 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (or honey) to buffer.
- Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding eyes and lips.
- Leave 5–10 minutes (not 20 for first tries), then rinse with lukewarm water and moisturize.
- Use once weekly at most.
Good to know
- Skip if you’re already using exfoliating acids/retinoids, or if your skin is reactive.
- Stop if you experience burning or persistent redness.
