    How to use Apple Cider Vinegar on your skin

    Not just a tasty salad dressing

    Apple Cider Vinegar has been used as a folk remedy to treat everything from warts to dandruff. But can this multi-tasking vinegar tone and soothe your skin too?

    What is Apple Cider Vinegar?

    The amber-coloured liquid is usually made using apples, yeast and mother of vinegar. Mother of vinegar is a jelly-like cellulose substance that combines with the oxygen in warm air to cause fermentation. The bacteria in the mother of vinegar works together with the yeast to ferment the sugars in the apples. The result is a sour often cloudy liquid.

    Can Apple Cider Vinegar soothe sunburnt skin?

    Believed to restore the balance of your skin’s pH levels, apple cider vinegar can be added to baths to help cool and ease the soreness of sunburn. Simply add 200ml to a warm bath and soak in it for 10 to 15 minutes. Alternatively, saturate a towel or flannel with a solution of 100ml of vinegar combined with one litre of water and apply gently to any sunburned areas.

    Is Apple Cider Vinegar a suitable facial toner?

    As s natural astringent, it can be used in place of your usual toner to tighten, clarify and refresh your skin. Add one tablespoon to 400ml of water to create your own DIY toner. Once a day, soak a cotton pad in the solution and wipe over your face after cleansing.

    Can Apple Cider Vinegar ease shaving bumps?

    Causing itching and irritation, small bumps form on the skin from ingrown hairs. The acetic acid in Apple Cider Vinegar can soften skin to help release the hairs. Dampen a cotton pad with undiluted Apple Cider Vinegar and wipe over the problem area.
