 Apple Cider Vinegar - Kitchen Cupboard Beauty Tips
|
   |
|
Apple cider vinegar has been the Wise Woman's health and beauty ally for
centuries. Now science tells us that it promotes blood circulation in the
small blood capillaries that irrigate the skin. It is also antiseptic,
combating yeasts, viruses, and bacteria that can cause infection. Apple
cider vinegar is rich in alpha-hydroxy acids, helping to dissolve fatty
deposits on the skin's surface and reducing scaly conditions, promoting a
softer, smoother appearance. This miracle fluid also regulates the pH of the
skin.
1. Hair rinse: Apple cider vinegar gets rid of residue build-up on hair,
leaving it soft and shiny. Mix 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar with 1 quart
water and use as a final rinse after shampooing.
2. Stain remover: If your hands are stained from chopping berries, dab some
straight apple cider vinegar on the stains and they'll disappear like magic.
3. Tired, swollen hands or feet: Rub a little apple cider vinegar on tired,
sore, or swollen hands or feet and feel the soothing difference.
4. Overnight facial: Get rid of blemishes and make your skin more youthful
by patting apple cider vinegar on your face before bed. You'll have softer,
smoother skin in the morning!
5. Sunburn bath: If you've been singed by the sun, find soothing relief by
adding a cupful of apple cider vinegar to your bath and soaking for 10
minutes.
6. Topical skin burns: apply ice-cold apple cider vinegar to prevent
blistering.
7. Lightening age spots: Dab areas with straight apple cider vinegar and
leave on overnight.
8. Dandruff fighter: Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar to 3 parts warm water to
balance scalp pH and control dandruff. You can also apply undiluted vinegar
to the scalp. Allow it to penetrate, then shampoo with a mild shampoo.
