How it works:
Green tea’s high antioxidant content, particularly catechins, fights free radicals that dull the skin, while ACV balances the skin’s pH and gently exfoliates. Together, they tighten pores, reduce excess oil, and enhance radiance for a refreshed, glowing complexion.
Use:
Brew green tea, let it cool, and mix with ACV in a small container. Apply the blend to your face using a cotton pad, sweeping it over cleansed skin. Use 2–3 times a week as a toner, leaving it on without rinsing for a subtle brightening effect.
Fade Dark Spots
Ingredients:
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
How it works:
Lemon juice delivers a dose of vitamin C, a proven skin-brightening agent that reduces melanin production, while ACV’s acids exfoliate pigmented cells. This duo works synergistically to lighten dark spots and even out skin tone over time.
Use:
Combine ACV and lemon juice in a small dish. Using a Q-tip, dab the mixture directly onto dark spots or hyperpigmentation at night (avoid sun exposure after application due to lemon’s photosensitivity). Leave it on overnight and rinse off in the morning with cool water. Apply sunscreen during the day.
Soothe Sunburn
Ingredients:
2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Aloe Vera Gel (pure, preferably fresh)
How it works:
ACV helps restore the skin’s natural pH disrupted by sun exposure, while aloe vera’s cooling polysaccharides hydrate and reduce inflammation. This blend calms redness, minimizes peeling, and accelerates the healing process for sunburned skin.
Use:
Mix ACV and aloe vera gel until smooth. Gently apply the mixture to sunburned areas with clean hands or a soft cloth. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse off with cool water. Repeat twice daily until discomfort subsides.
Fight Dandruff
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Water
How it works:
ACV’s antifungal properties combat Malassezia yeast, a common dandruff culprit, while its acidity helps rebalance the scalp’s pH, reducing flakiness and itchiness. Diluting with water ensures it’s gentle on the scalp.
Use:
Combine ACV and water in a spray bottle. After shampooing, spray the mixture onto your scalp, massaging it in with your fingertips. Leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use weekly to maintain a healthy scalp.
Shrink Pores
Ingredients:
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Witch Hazel
How it works:
ACV’s astringent qualities tighten skin and minimize pore appearance, while witch hazel’s anti-inflammatory tannins reduce redness and oil buildup. This pairing is ideal for oily or combination skin prone to congestion.
Use:
Mix ACV and witch hazel in a small bowl. After cleansing, apply the solution with a cotton pad, focusing on the T-zone or areas with visible pores. Use once daily, leaving it on as a toner—no need to rinse.
Detox Drink
Ingredients:
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp raw Honey
1 cup Warm Water
How it works:
ACV supports digestion by stimulating stomach acid production and may help stabilize blood sugar levels, while honey’s antimicrobial properties soothe the gut lining and mask ACV’s tartness with natural sweetness.
Use:
Stir ACV and honey into warm (not hot) water until dissolved. Sip slowly first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to kickstart your day and aid metabolism.
