I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for those home remedy books. I probably own 5 of them, they’re just so darn fascinating! Baking soda on scuff marks, onions, dirty shoes-I’m curious (ok that might be a gross exaggeration but you get my point).

Apple cider vinegar is another one of those home super heroes-you hear about for everything, and I’m about to add one more item to its arsenal…

Apple cider vinegar (whilst smelling HORRIBLE) is also a good home remedy for your face (anyone noticing a trend here, the other product for zits we talked about on Monday smells like moldy arm pits too! Why can’t a girl get a clean/fresh break around here?!)

What this stuff does for your face though is worth the stench (as long as you’re not putting it on before dates that would prove to be catastrophic). What it does is it balances your skins PH levels. When you break out, get stressed, or over wash your face you’re disrupting the layer of oil that helps keep everything looking good. Apple cider vinegar (when combined with a little water) makes a toner that replenishes that layer of oil keeping everything from getting too chaotic (and chaos equals zits, redness, dryness, irritation).

Think of Apple Cider Vinegar as the mediator on your face keeping everybody calm, cool and collected.

It’s one of those things you hear and you think “really?, I mean really??” but try it and watch your face become one giant beacon of peace.

I’m sure if you ingest it there’s a rainbow that comes shooting out of your eyes, but that’s a whole other super power for a whole nother post…
