The number one use of apple cider vinegar is to improve the look and texture of hair. Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which strips away any leftover residue on hair from shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, and gels. It also lends strength to hair, making it more resistant to split ends and breakage.
Add raw honey and organic salts to apple cider vinegar to make a great toning and brightening mask. Indeed it not only nourishes the skin but also helps remove bacteria and toxins from the outside of our bodies.
Other Benefits
Apple cider vinegar has both internal anti-inflammatory properties and external ones as well. This makes it perfect for anyone with rosacea, eczema, or even psoriasis. Use it to soothe a stubborn burn or bite or relieve veins' swelling in your legs and feet.
And because it is antibacterial, it won't clog your pores, and it'll wash away the nasty bacteria that causes acne.
When added to a bath, it can work all over the body to purify and tone the skin. As it takes away these impurities, it moisturizes you so that you won't step out of the bath dry and scaly but hydrated and glowing.
Additionally, with all its other fantastic uses, apple cider vinegar can help to even your skin's appearance. It improves both the tone and texture of your complexion. If you have age spots, use a small amount of apple cider vinegar on them daily to break up and remove the discoloration.
Though the smell of vinegar puts some people off, it can block, absorb, and remove foul odor in the proper application. Many people leave a bowl of vinegar uncovered in their kitchen to absorb fishy scents. This same property can be utilized as a deodorant on the skin!
