The power of ACV
It can fight off acne, pimples, and blemishes; the malic acid in it has powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties that prevent the creation of pimples and acne
It can remove toxins from the face; it will make your skin look cleaner and more radiant
It will reduce age spots; washing the face with ACV on a daily basis will lower age spots due to the fact that it has alpha hydroxyl acids that eliminate dead skin cells. Just put a drop or two of ACV on a cotton ball and place it onto the age spot and leave it for 30 minutes before rinsing the face with water. Do this for 45 days.
It can fight off wrinkles; apply some diluted ACV onto a cotton ball and put it onto the affected areas and then rinse the face with lukewarm water and pat it dry.
It balances the skin’s pH; it removes surplus oil from the skin and thus, it regulates the sebum production so the skin won’t be too dry or too oily.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
Never apply ACV onto the skin before diluting it with water in a 1:1 ratio.
Always check for allergies to ACV before you start using it; apply a bit of vinegar onto the skin and wait for a minute to see if it causes some kind of reaction.
Oral use of ACV may cause irritation due to vinegar’s acidity, so those who suffer from heartburn, diabetes, or peptic ulcer shouldn’t consume it.
Pregnant women need to consult their doctor prior to using ACV.
