Recommendations for the use of apple cider vinegar depending on facial skin type

Natural apple cider vinegar is nothing more than the fermented juice of ripe (ideally even overripe) apples. Not a single competent cosmetologist will advise you to use that yellowish liquid in facial care that is sold in stores and has a similar name. It usually contains various flavorings and colorings such as burnt sugar and “heavier” components.

Real and unconditional healthy vinegar- this is juice that has been “ripened” to the desired state and purified by straining through cheesecloth. Its unique healing properties are due to the content of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E, as well as microelements - potassium, calcium, sodium, silicon, iron, magnesium, copper, phosphorus and sulfur. The richness of the chemical composition is complemented by the presence in this product of a considerable amount of enzymes, as well as organic acids - malic, citric, lactic and oxalic.

Those who do not have time to start home-made “production” of vinegar are confident that there is another worthy way out of the situation. And it comes down to buying an imported product, which costs several times more than its Russian counterparts, and therefore is considered by default as a standard of genuine quality.

Apple cider vinegar has a reputation as a "fat burner." Therefore, it has the most beneficial effect on oily and combination skin, eliminating the untidy “gloss” and replacing it with an attractive radiance that comes as if from within.

Fermented apple juice is a godsend for those with mature and aging skin. After such cosmetic procedures, it tightens and takes on a more fresh appearance.

There are also no serious contraindications to the contact of natural apple cider vinegar with dry skin. In this case, you just need to combine it with ingredients such as honey, egg yolks or sour cream.

But wipe with this “rejuvenating elixir” sensitive skin undesirable, since the presence of food acids in it can provoke local irritation.

Peeling (cleansing) facial skin with apple cider vinegar

The cleaning composition is prepared from 1 teaspoon table salt finely ground, 1 tablespoon of natural and not too thick honey and the same amount of apple cider vinegar.
All ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the mixture is applied to a cleansed, slightly steamed face. Peeling is rubbed into the skin in a circular motion, trying not to stretch it too much.
The duration of the procedure can be 2-3 minutes, after which the mass is washed off with warm water. You can wipe your face with a cube cosmetic ice- this will give the skin a pleasant pink tint and velvety feel.

Universal rejuvenating mask

The popularity of this recipe is due to the fact that it is suitable for any skin type. Apple vinegar(1 teaspoon) should be mixed with egg yolk and 2-3 tablespoons olive oil. A medium-sized fresh cucumber is peeled and grated on a fine grater. The resulting slurry is seasoned with an egg-oil-vinegar mixture.
This mask can be applied not only to the face, but also to the skin of the neck, décolleté and hand skin. True, it is recommended to keep it on all these parts of the body for no longer than 10 minutes, while on the face it can be left for half an hour and then washed off with warm water.

Nourishing mask for dry and normal skin

Magnificent nourishing mask with a tonic effect, prepared from sour cream and apple cider vinegar (1 tablespoon each). Add 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 yolk to them.
This composition is applied to the face in an even layer, without affecting the area around the eyes.
The exposure time of the mask is 15-20 minutes.

“Beauty mask” for oily and combination skin

This is one of the varieties oat masks for face. Add honey (2 teaspoons) heated in a water bath to apple cider vinegar (4 tablespoons) and add 2 tablespoons of oatmeal. If there is no flour, then you can take the same amount of large oat flakes, fry them in a dry hot frying pan (after heat treatment they will become brittle), cool, pour into a plastic bag, place it on the table and roll out the flakes with a rolling pin.
The mask is applied for 20-30 minutes, after cleansing the face. Wash off with warm water.

How to make a facial toner from apple cider vinegar?

Despite the fact that theoretically it is possible to wipe your face with undiluted apple cider vinegar, in order to avoid any misunderstandings, it is better to dilute it with mineral water.

• For oily skin- in a ratio of 1:1.
• For combination skin- in a ratio of 1:5 (one part vinegar and five parts water).
• For dry and sensitive skin - in a ratio of 1:10.

Such tonics have cleansing properties. It is advisable to wipe your face with it in the morning, after washing your face. In the evening, traditional cosmetic milk is used to cleanse the skin.

Apple cider vinegar toners have a whitening effect (the higher the concentration of the solution, the better it appears) and have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Apple cider vinegar for acne: natural toners

It's no secret that the appearance of acne is often caused by bacterial infection of the skin, so trying to get rid of it with apple cider vinegar seems quite logical. The pronounced antibacterial properties of apple cider vinegar make it possible to localize inflammatory processes.

Those with oily skin most often suffer from acne in all its manifestations - after all, its pores are most often clogged, and these “plugs” are formed due to the vigorous activity of the sebaceous glands. The acid contained in apple cider vinegar dissolves fat deposits and thereby frees the skin from excess “baggage”.

Cosmetologists recommend “expelling” acne from the face in the following way - simply wipe the skin with lotion, that is, apple cider vinegar diluted in water in a ratio of 1:2. Some representatives of the fair sex share their personal experience and talk about the wonderful results they achieved by lubricating their acne-covered faces with undiluted vinegar. The last option is suitable, perhaps, only if the skin is really oily.

But I would like to give you a few tips simple recipes tonics - making them at home is not a problem at all. By rubbing your inflamed facial skin with such compositions morning and evening, you will do it a great service by restoring its natural smoothness and freshness. These are the recipes:

If “scatterings” of acne appear not only on your face, but also on your body, then it makes sense to take baths with the addition of apple cider vinegar. A full font of warm water is usually filled with 1-1.5 glasses of vinegar and the same amount of chamomile flower decoction. The duration of the bath is on average 15-20 minutes, it can be done daily or every other day.

• mineral water tonic- Mix 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar with 0.5 cup of mineral (non-carbonated) water, store in the refrigerator for no more than a week;
• chamomile tonic- 1 teaspoon of chamomile flowers is brewed with 0.5 cups of boiling water, simmered under a lid over low heat for 10-15 minutes, allowed to cool, filtered and mixed with 0.5 cups of apple cider vinegar. This solution is used to generously wipe the face cleansed of cosmetics in the mornings and evenings;
• tonic with calendula- it is prepared in the same way as chamomile tonic, only instead of chamomile flowers the starting raw material is calendula flowers;
• toner with essential oils- 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar diluted in ½ cup of water and add 5-7 drops of one of essential oils optional - ylang-ylang, lavender, lemon, eucalyptus, cloves.

Apple cider vinegar helps maintain the health and beauty of facial skin, perfectly cleanses, eliminates minor inflammations, smoothes cosmetic defects on the face, tightens the skin, providing a rejuvenating effect. Especially recommended for the care of oily, problematic skin.

Composition and benefits of apple cider vinegar for the face

Apple cider vinegar is a common acid, which means it is an excellent acidity regulator. When used on the face, vinegar affects the acid-base balance of the skin. Due to the formation of a temporary acidic environment on the skin, apple cider vinegar disinfects the skin and has a detrimental effect on harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. After some time (several hours), the pH balance of the skin returns to normal, and all natural barrier functions of the skin are restored.

The composition of apple cider vinegar is quite diverse; it is rich in vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, microelements beneficial for the skin, as well as amino acids (16 of them!), which in combination have a protective effect against the influence of free radicals, activate cell regeneration and accelerate the production of natural collagen. This fact allows you to use it for home rejuvenation of facial skin and preserving its beauty. In addition, its use effectively fights pigment spots and various skin diseases.

Using Apple Cider Vinegar on the Face

Quite a long time ago, apple cider vinegar began to be used in home cosmetology. Anti-aging masks, lotions and skin peels are prepared using apple cider vinegar. Their use tones the skin, smoothes wrinkles, normalizes the secretion of the sebaceous glands, eliminating oily sheen, restoring health and natural beauty to the skin. Despite the many positive properties for the skin, apple cider vinegar should be used carefully, it is still an acid!

Apple juice vinegar is often used as a lotion for normal to oily skin. The combination of apple cider vinegar with fatty ingredients is an ideal treatment for aging and sagging skin. The only thing is that this component is absolutely contraindicated for use on very thin and sensitive skin, prone to inflammation and various types of irritation.

The product can be purchased at any store, but it must be absolutely natural (read the composition), only this is suitable for homemade facial care products. If you don't trust manufacturers, you can make your own apple cider vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar can be purchased at any store for a small price. Housewives use it in cooking, as well as for preparing homemade cosmetics. There is an opinion that the product not only improves the condition of facial skin, but also eliminates wrinkles. What is this belief based on?

Apple cider vinegar contains:

• organic acids (malic, oxalic, citric, lactic);
• amino acids;
• vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C);
• minerals (potassium, magnesium, zinc, silicon, sulfur, calcium, copper, etc.);
• enzymes.

The composition of apple cider vinegar determines its beneficial properties for the skin, so the use of the product:

• has an antiseptic effect;
• stops inflammatory processes;
• normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
• activates regeneration processes;
• stimulates skin microcirculation;
• cleanses the epidermis of keratinized particles and deep impurities;

But will vinegar help in the fight against wrinkles? By accelerating regeneration processes and activating blood microcirculation, the firmness and elasticity of the skin is restored, which prevents the appearance of wrinkles. Thus, apple cider vinegar is an excellent remedy for preventing the first signs of skin aging; it can make existing wrinkles less noticeable, but cannot get rid of them.

Peeling (cleansing) facial skin with apple cider vinegar

The cleansing composition is prepared from 1 teaspoon of finely ground table salt, 1 tablespoon of natural and not too thick honey and the same amount of apple cider vinegar. All ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the mixture is applied to a cleansed, slightly steamed face.
