Warning: *Dilute Apple Cider Vinegar with warm water before use*
Apple cider vinegar is great for your skin because it acts as a natural astringent.
An astringent is a chemical compound/substance that causes soft body tissues to shrink, tighten, or contract.
The word astringent is from the Latin adstringere meaning to bind fast.
When apple cider vinegar - which is an acid - acts as an astringent on the skin, it causes a temporary tightening of the tissues by precipitating or clumping surface proteins. This is a localized, chemical reaction on the epidermis. So when you use apple cider vinegar to wash your face, it tightens your skin, which is awesome, because I mean why do fake procedures like horrific surgeries when you can just use Apple Cider Vinegar right, to do it naturally when you feel like.
Apple Cider Vinegar also balances your skin's natural acidic pH (!!) and contains antibacterial properties to fight breakouts (holy crap awesome).
Thanks to Apple cider vinegar's naturally occurring (miracle !!) acids, Apple cider vinegar also gently exfoliates dead skin cells and helps fade dark spots. Oh my god....I mean, really ? Geepers, I mean talk about a hard working natural agent hey ?! Sorry for my !! but seriously. !!!!!!! If you can just let me gush here about Apple Cider Vinegar ✧。٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*。 for a minute to get it out of my system: °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・

Okay back to the article but wow Apple Cider Vinegar I am going to hump you hard, hump hump.

Just joking but not joking.
Here is a breakdown of why Apple cider vinegar is a highly regarded skincare product:
✅ Balances Skin pH: Apple cider vinegar promotes Healthy skin
✅ ACV helps restore this delicate balance, keeping your moisture barrier resilient and preventing bad bacteria from thriving.
✅ Fights Acne and Bacteria: Because it contains acetic acid, ACV has antimicrobial and antifungal properties that can help clear out debris, combat acne-causing bacteria, and reduce inflammation.
✅ Gentle Exfoliation: ACV contains malic and other alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). These work to gently break down the bonds between dead skin cells, leaving your complexion smoother and brighter. I find it sort of melts all your dead skins away, whereas other commercial products it does it more roughly Apple Cider Vinegar does it way more gently, like it rolls it away in little melting pods than like chunks coming off.
✅ Fades Hyperpigmentation: Regular, diluted application of ACV can help inhibit melanin production, which aids in fading dark spots, acne scars, and age spots.
SAFETY
Never apply undiluted apple cider vinegar to your face; its strong acid content can cause chemical burns or severe irritation.
Mix a gentle solution: Combine 1 part apple cider vinegar with 3 to 4 parts warm or distilled water.
I eye ball it, like I take a standard measuring cup, fill the bottom with it then fill it with tap hot water.
I chase around my fur babies and wash their paws and ears.
They find it annoying at the time and grumble but then they get zoomies after.
Enjoy your SOFT skin after OMG awesome. LP
