Do try it on a small spot on your skin before using it on your whole face. Just wash your face normally and apply the solution to the skin using cotton afterwards.
Acne treatment: To use it as a acne treatment, you can use apple cider vineger directly or diluted equal parts of apple cider vinegar with water for sensitive skin. Apply it directly on the acne, pimple or blemishes just before you sleep and it will be gone in the morning or in a day or two. Second option is to apply it before bed or half hour before shower so that it has sufficient time to work. You can use a Q-Tip or cotton ball for this.
- Drink and detoxify: Add 2 tsps of organic raw apple cider vinegar with mother to a glass of water. You can drink it just as it is or add 1 or 2 tsps of honey to improve on the taste. This apple cider vinegar mixture works by detoxifying and cleansing your body from within.
