  1. Dilute the Vinegar: Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar with 3-4 parts water. Start with a higher water ratio to prevent irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin.
  2. Patch Test: Before applying ACV to your entire face, test it on a small patch of skin to ensure you don’t have a reaction.
  3. Apply as a Toner: After cleansing, soak a cotton pad in the diluted vinegar solution and gently apply it to your face, avoiding the eye area.
  4. Rinse (Optional): You can rinse your face with lukewarm water after a few minutes or leave it on as a toner.
  5. Moisturize: Follow up with a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

Tips and Precautions:

  • Always dilute ACV before applying it to your skin, as undiluted vinegar can be too harsh and may cause burns or irritation.
  • Use ACV only once or twice a week to avoid over-drying your skin.
  • If you have sensitive skin or any skin conditions, consult a dermatologist before adding ACV to your routine.

Incorporating diluted apple cider vinegar into your skincare routine can provide gentle exfoliation, help manage acne, and promote a balanced complexion. With proper dilution and usage, ACV can be a valuable addition to your natural skincare lineup.
