I mix two tablespoons of _____s apple cider vinegar (ACV) with a dash of boiling water in a small bowl, using cotton wool I dab it all over my face every other day. This is fantastic for your skin and complextion. Excellent for acne or uneven skin tone, blemishes etc. Also if you ever get shingles use ACV on them, works amazinly well, a little bit stingy, but results are incredible! Much better than any prescribed creams.

I am sold! I am 31 and have tried everything for my oily, acne-prone skin for over 15 years, including Retin-A, tetracycline, any and all OTC products, Proactive, even Accutane. The easiest, best, healthiest, least expensive, and happiest thing I've ever used was a simple solution of ACV, 1 part ACV to 4 parts water. I came up with this ratio after trying it full strength... that worked for a couple days but then my poor little face turned red! Didn't hurt, just red.

Not gonna lie, it is quite a strong smell and my hubs doesn't like it. So I only use it in the morning so he doesn't have to smell it in bed at night. I shake up my jar, rub it on with a cotton ball, and hop in the shower. I rinse my face after I shampoo my hair and that seems to work well. I've been rubbing a bit on coconut oil in as a moisturizer after showering and that works well, too.

No joke! My skin looks much more even and smooth. My pores truly look smaller. I am still in disbelief. But the VERY BEST PART is after using this for a couple of weeks, I noticed my face is not consistenly a puddle of oil all day long. It doesn't feel dry at all, but the oil is GONE. And those wrinkles that have just started getting a bit deeper across my forehead look less dramatic for sure.

Try it. It will make your skin look happy! And when your skin looks happy, you are happy! And when you are happy, everything is just plain better. Give it a whirl!!!

I am eager to try Apple Cider Vinegar as a toner. On another note, I have been using almond oil on my face for adult acne. It is not an instantaneous "miracle cure", but it works much better than expensive oils and creams and definitely keeps the acne under control!

After just 3 days of cider vinegar and honey drink my complexion had taken on a much healthier glow and I felt brighter. Trying to loose weight and can't see any change there. I find it a really nice warm winter drink.

Carrie I do almost the same as you, the 1/2 ACV 1/2 water spray bottle and the baking soda as an exfoliant, sometimes a add borax to the baking soda and I don't exfoliate as frequently as you do. I thought I noticed smaller pores, better complexion, but I didn't think much. Last Saturday a customer asked me if I've had a peeling or dermabrasion done. She said she could see a difference on my skin with my acne scars and complexion. So now that I know it is not my imagination I'll definitely make sure I keep doing this and exfoliate more often. Thanks EC!!!

I have been using a facial toner of 1/2 ACV and 1/2 water, put into a small spray bottle. I spray this on my face in the mornings and evenings. Every other day, I exfoliate my face with baking soda. I have seen a big difference! My skin tone is even, pores are much smaller, and skin looks great! The only drawback is that others in my household don't appreciate the smell of vinegar wafting thru the air.

I have been using Apple Cider Vinegar lightly dampened on a cotton ball as astringent after a baking soda scrub for my acne prone skin and my face looks amazing. Sometimes i will replace acv with witch hazel and i get similar results. I started using the face mask consisting of honey, lemon juice, salt, acv, & cinnamon and i think its wonderful just mix and leave on for 10 minutes a couple times a week. No more spending outrageous amounts of money on acne products that only half work.

Apple cider cleared my headache and my skin's become beautiful and the pore has close since I have taken ACV with BS but it was giving my stomache bloated and gasy, then I started taking ACV BS with honey, I have no more bloating or gasy. Thanks for the nature's gift and earth clinic. God you, all!

ACV for SKIN/ GENERAL HEALTH

Here is a healthy tip for skin/ general health. I use ACV on a cotton ball and apply it to the face daily. It cleans and alkalinizes the body and dissolves oil. There is no need for soap and you get your intake of healthful vinegar.

Being a women in her late 40's (49) I worry about wrinkles, age spots and skin tone.

Recently I started using olive oil to clean my face and for moisture and it works well; but since I have added ACV it is working even better.

What I do is mix ACV half and half with water and add a few drops of lavender essential oil. I also add a few drops of lavender EO to my extra virgin olive oil. I keep them both in separate glass bottles.

I wet my face and take a cotton ball and turn the bottle of ACV upside down on it til the pad is pretty damp. Then I do the same thing with the EVOO bottle on top of the ACV on the cotton ball.

Then I use this cotton pad to wipe my face clean. It really cleans well and has a cooling feeling from the ACV.

After I finish cleaning I rinse my face with water and then massage the remaining Extra Virgin Olive Oil into my skin.

Occasionally I will first scrub my wet face with a tiny bit of baking soda and then use this method.

Using this method has made my skin feel much smoother and an age spot that was lingering has finally disappeared. Also my crows feet are softened and my skin seems much more vibrant and alive!!!
