Apple Cider Vinegar
So... I have nomal combinaton skin. Lately recently "walked away" from my beloved Proactive, seeking a natural alternative to my breakouts. Let me tell you Proactive worked for me, but I got tired of paying the money and I wanted something more natural.
One of my friends told me that she uses ACV for her skin, and it works wonders!! I figure, since we use it for our hair...Why not?
Just wanted to know if anyone has ever used it for their skin. And if you do, How do you use it?

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar
I have never tried it, but someone please let me know if it works-because I have been having recent breakouts also.

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar
i use diluted acv on my skin as a toner. heres my reggie: I wash with black soap, exfoliate every 2 days with baking soda, use diluted acv (use a little less than you would for acv rinse on your hair) on a cotton ball, rinse and apply ev-olive oil as a moisturizer. I've been doing this for 3 weeks now and my skin cleared up! At first i broke out because of the change but now my skin is smooth, i'm hoping the acv will fade my acne scars
Re: Apple Cider Vinegar
I have used ACV in the past. I put about a teaspoon in a four ounce spray bottle. I need to add it to my regimen.

african black soap is an all natural soap that is made of leaves and bark of certain trees along with oils such as shea butter and coconut oil. It can be used on face, body and hair. It is supposed to relieve rashes, clear blemishes, and give your skin a glow.
I like this as facial soap because it doesn't have any acids that you will find in drugstore cleansers (like Clean and Clear or Neutrogena) those acids dry my skin out too much and cause more redness adn pimples. This soap is more gentle to my naturally dry skin as long as I moisturize well after I use it. hope that helped.
I get it from this website

( i also got my shea butter from this site. )

Thank you. I'd heard of black soap but had no idea what it was or where to get it. That is def going on my list because Ive been looking for a natural face cleanser.

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar
I've used ACV too in the past, but only once in a while because I don't like the way the smell lingers on my skin....I've also heard that it works great, but I need to make it part of my regular night time routine. That way, I don't have to worry about smelling like a pickle in public! lol!

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar
I use acv and green tea as a toner and it has helped clear up my acne pretty quickly

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar
I use the mix by bubzbeauty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e--d_n073pc
it's 1 part acv and 2 parts green tea I believe. I haven't watched to video in a while. I also added in a bit of tea tree oil to speed up the spot clearing.

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar
I think the honey in the exfoliator/mask she makes in the first part and the ACV both help with the dark spots. I guess its a combo of the honey fading it and the sugar buffing away the dead skin.

I don't think that ACV has to be refrigerated because of its acidity as a vinegar. I have never refrigerated it and it has been fine. There are so many uses for ACV. Check out www.earthclinic.com.

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar
I have started using ACV in hopes of evening my skin tone and getting rid of dark marks. It hasn't even been a full week yet and I'm been getting more pimples then usual because I've also started the oil cleansing method (2nd time...different mixture). I'm hoping for results - most of these marks are old, from my acne stage in my tween years. All the marks from acne now are erased by the black soap.

Re: Apple Cider Vinegar
I think it has to be ACV. I have not heard of anyone using white vinegar.CurlyChefRobin wrote:Anyone tried white vinegar or does it have to be ACV?
