How To Use Apple Cider Vinegar To Help Achieve A Beautiful Skin
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a pantry staple. Aside from being very good for salad dressings, this superfood ingredient also deserves a spot on our bathroom vanity. It has been used to treat various skin conditions and has the ability to help make the skin healthy and smooth.
In addition to apple cider vinegar’s (ACV) anti-inflammatory properties, it also contains alpha hydroxy acid and acetic acid. These important components give ACV the power to exfoliate the skin, absorb excess oils, unclog blocked pores, and restore the proper pH levels of our skin. With the right pH, the outer layer of the skin, the acid mantle, becomes nice and healthy, thus giving our skin a bright and glowy look.
Here are some of the ways on how to use ACV to our skin:
Helps Heal Sunburn
Have a half a cup apple cider vinegar and mix it with 4 cups of water. Soak a washcloth with the solution and apply it on the affected area. Massage it for a while. Do this several times a day.
Helps Fight Age Spots And Wrinkles
For this benefit, we need to dab a little apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball and apply it directly to the age spot and wrinkles. Leave it for 30 minutes and wash off with cool water. Do this twice a day for six weeks to achieve the best results.
A Potent Skin Toner
Use a regular cleanser to wash the face and then pour a little of the mixture on a cotton ball and apply it to the face. After the toner has dried, regular moisturizer can be applied.
Helps Prevent Acne And Pimples
Simply mix raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar with filtered water in a bowl. Soak a cotton ball in it and apply it on the affected area. Leave it for 10 minutes and then wash with warm water. For best results, re-apply a few times daily.
