10 Genius Aspirin Hacks You Need to Try

  • 5) Lift Sweat Stains from Clothes

    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.
