Health&Fitness THE AMAZING
SKIN BENEFITS OF

Apple

Cider VinegarByWhitneyAlexandra

veryone familiar with apple cider vinegar (ACV) knows it has been

Econsidered a general health tonic throughout the ages. While the pungent
smell can deter people from using it, ACV is completely natural with no side
effects, making it well worth adding to your day‑to‑day regimen!
Acne and Pimples
ACV contains antibacterial and antiseptics that can target and kill the root of acne
and pimples deep inside your pores. Further, it contains both malic and lactic acids
that help exfoliate and soften the skin. When you feel like you are getting a pimple,
just apply a small amount with a cotton pad on the affected area.
Natural Skin Toner
You don’t need to buy over‑the‑counter skin toners filled
with chemicals and unnatural ingredients! Go natural and use
ACV for your everyday skin toner. ACV can balance your
skin's pH and clear away excess oil. At night, apply evenly on
your skin with a cotton pad. The strong odor will subside
shortly, so don't let that stop you from trying this.
Sunburn Relief
The anti‑inflammatory substances in ACV can help soothe
and reduce sunburn pain. According to Earth Clinic, ACV’s
mineral and vitamin content can nourish the skin faster back
to recovery. Pour two cups of ACV into a lukewarm bath and
soak for immediate relief!
Reduce Your Age Spots
According to Organic Facts, ACV can help reduce or even
completely eliminate age spots. Add a few drops of ACV to
a glass of water and drink. In addition, try mixing ACV and
lemon juice, and apply directly to age spots in order to fade
their appearance or eliminate them all together.
Detox Bath
ACV is wonderful for an overall detox of your body,
including skin issues and yeast infections such as candida. It
serves as an overall detoxifier for muscle aches and
pains. ACV baths can aid in drawing excess uric
acid from your kidneys. And for those who
have concerns about body odors, ACV baths
can help eliminate that problem, too!
