Nay: Some time ago, I used ACV as a toner before bed on my acne ridden face. I put some on a cotton ball & spread it over my face at night. It didn't work for me-it made my face rough and didn't take away the pimples at all. Recently, I felt a pimple coming up and used ACV on a cotton ball and held it on the developing pimple for several minutes. That didn't work either. In fact-I developed a scab overnight on my face where the pimple was! I was so upset because I had a job interview that morning & I don't wear makeup, so I couldn't cover it up! My plea is that people be specific when they write about how they actually used the product. I did get the job by the way!Replied By Caitlin (Austin, Tx) on 09/25/2011
Same here! As an older women, I tend toward drier skin & ACV & Hydrogen Peroxide are very drying to the point of wrinkling for me now. Finally, after a year of expermentation, I clean my skin & neck with a wet, hot watered cotton round smeared with coconut oil. The pad gets pretty dirty. Then, I dab castor oil on my face and gently rub in with water. This has cleared my face and It glows. For the rest of my body, I smear on coconut oil, scrub with a dry cloth and then take a cold shower. I wash key parts, underarms & lower regions with a good organic soap (Dr. Bronner's, Harnn or Grandpa's) and I'm done. I'm fresh, clean and with super soft skin. I only use cologne on my clothes or the bottom of my long hair. I wash my scalp with fresh lemon juice or diluted ACV then rinse my entire head with cold water. My hair & skin have greatly improved this year with my hair finally getting thicker. Oil Pulling & drinking 1 Tabsp of ACV each morning & before bed 1 Tabsp of coconut oil as breakfast has also boosted my hair, skin, joints, sleep, immune system, energy & helps elimenate my vast food cravings while I low carb diet away 70 extra pounds. It's all working! My message to everyone is that natural products require diligence and patience. Over time, it's more than worth it!
