Apple Cider Vinegar for Acne

ACV - Apple Cider Vinegar

Do you have Acne, Bacne (back acne), and other sorts of acne? Have you tried all sorts of products on the market but nothing seems to work? Are you fed up with wasting your money on over the counter products, expensive prescription creams and everything else your friends, family, strangers, and doctors have all prescribed?

Well, have you given Apple Cider Vinegar a chance yet? If not, then you need to run to your nearest grocery store after reading this post to get yourself a bottle! 


Benefits of ACV for the skin
ACV is a bottle of wonder with awesome health benefits which are good for our skin, hair and body. But since this post is on skincare, I will only be focusing on the skin benefits of ACV.

ACV has Malic and lactic acids with antibacterial and antifungal properties which helps to soften and exfoliate the skin, reduce red marks, treat acne and ultimately help prevent skin infections. ACV also removes excess oil from the skin, act as a facial toner and help balance your skin's pH level.

How to 
Recipe: 
- combine 1 part ACV, 1 part water into a small container, 
- pour onto a cotton swab and apply on your face, back or any affected area. Make sure your face/skin is free of make up or dirt
**Please keep in mind that this mixture will sting a little bit, a bit more if there's a cut on the face.
- let it air dry

- you can apply Shea butter afterwards to help remove scars and spots that will be left behind by the acne

- for speedy results, apply mixture on skin twice a day
* It's best to do a patch test with the mixture by applying it on a small part of your skin to see how your skin reacts to it. Also, those with sensitive skin can add more water to reduce the acidity level of ACV in the mixture. 

You should start seeing results within a week.
