Apple Cider Vinegar in Skin Care

People use apple cider vinegar in skin care because it contains natural alpha hydroxyl acids that exfoliate and brighten the skin.

It restores the natural pH balance of the skin. Many soap and cleansers are very alkaline.

Ways to use Apple Cider Vinegar:
Use full strength or diluted with water as a facial toner to prevent acne, clogged pores and to balance the skin pH.
As a treatment for dandruff, massage 1/2 cup into your scalp, then rinse thoroughly with water. Can be used every day until the dandruff is gone, then you may use it periodically to prevent it from returning.
Gentleman who are prone to shaving related breakouts can use as an aftershave to prevent them. It can be used full strength or diluted with water or witch hazel.
Can be used on skin rashes to control itching and clear them up completely.
Soothe tired, sore, or swollen hands or feet by massaging with apple cider vinegar.
Treat the entire body by soaking in a warm tub with lots of apple cider vinegar added to the water.
Some claim that applying full strength at night will lighten age spots and other skin discolorations.
