Water and Apple Cider Vinegar

Start with 1 part apple cider vinegar to 3 parts water.

You may increase the ratio after using this measurement awhile but do not exceed a 1-1 ratio (50%) as it is strong with astringent qualities.

Mix together in a small clean plastic spray bottle or small jar by giving it a good few shakes.

Lightly soak a small piece of cotton wool in the solution and dab on the acne or blemish.

Let dry for 5-10 minutes before rinsing the face in cold water.

This may be done up to 3 times a day. You may increase the time you leave on the skin but do not leave indefinitely and remember to rinse in cold water.

Word of Caution – Apple Cider Vinegar is highly potent and should be used with care. If skin is highly sensitive or prone to food allergies, always consult a doctor for advice before using.
