Erase Skin Blemishes

Have a pimple? Simply put some ACV on it and watch it disappear. Of course, people use apple cider vinegar for more than just simple blemishes. Apple cider vinegar is a wonderful treatment for acne scarring, too. This is because of the antibacterial properties in vinegar. It has been found that acne is caused by the growth of propionibacterium. The acetic, lactic, succinic, and citric acids found in apple cider vinegar neutralize that bacteria strain.

Apple cider vinegar can also be used as a skin toner, wart and skin tag remover. Some people have even used it to reduce the appear of wrinkles and age spots. You can make an all-natural skin toner by combing 3-4 drops of lemon essential oil, 1/8 cup of aloe vera, ¼ cup of witch hazel, and ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar. Blend together well before dabbing the toner on your skin with a cotton ball.
