Acetic, lactic and malic acid and beta-carotenes are very beneficial for stimulating the regeneration of the cells and they are all contained in ACV. ACV has many antifungal and antiseptic properties so it is very helpful with the itchiness, inflammation and infections.

FIVE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD WASH YOUR FACE WITH ACV:

You can use it as a face wash, but in any case do not use it undiluted, since it can damage your skin. So it is best to dilute the ACV with water in 1:1 ratio and before applying it on your skin, apply it on a small skin area to check if you are sensitive.
1. ACV REDUCES AGE SPOTS
To reduce your age spots you should wash your face on a regular basis with apple cider vinegar. ACV contains alpha-hydroxyl acids, which is great at removing the skin’s dead cells and stimulating the regeneration of the skin. Soak a cotton ball in diluted apple cider vinegar and apply it on your affected areas. Leave it on for about thirty minutes and wash the face with cold water. Repeat this two times a day for 6 days and you will see the results.
2. ACV FIGHTS BLEMISHES, PIMPLES AND ACNE
ACV is full of powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and this is why it is more effective than the commercial products. It clears blemishes, prevents and reduces acne and pimple breakouts.
3. ACV BALANCES THE SKIN PH
ACV balances the pH levels of the skin and sebum production and in this way it prevents the skin of becoming too oily or too dry.

4. ACV FIGHTS AGAINST WRINKLES
By washing your face with diluted apple cider vinegar on a regular basis you will remove the fine lines and wrinkles from your face and make your skin smoother.
5. ACV REMOVES TOXINS
If you use apple cider vinegar regularly you will eliminate the toxins from your face and prevent further problems.
