A couple of months ago, I had a terrible breakout especially along my chin and jawline area. I tried all sorts of pimple creams but the spots persisted. Then, I suddenly remembered this concoction that I used to make weekly with Apple Cider Vinegar.
Be warned - it smells! So, if you are sensitive to the strong smell of apple cider vinegar, make it with green tea. I’m not too fussed by the smell so I used to make it with just plain water.
This is what you need:-
My skin has cleared up dramatically since I re-discovered my old staple, and in fact, I’ve found that using the green tea seems to be beneficial for my skin too. My skin is clearer and any budding spots are nipped in the bud (no pun intended). I’ve also stopped getting cystic acne (the hard painful bumps under the skin that sometimes never erupt) and my pores seem smaller and finer too. The smell is masked somewhat by the green tea, but not totally so. As I said before, I’m not bothered by the smell.
I’m using it twice a day now, but you can use it only at night if you’d rather. I use a strong facial sunsceen everyday, so I feel alright using this even in the day.
I was told that Braggs is probably the best brand out there for the apple cider vinegar as its unfiltered. Filtered vinegar doesn’t work as well. However, if you know of other brands that are unfiltered you can use them too.
This is natural and chemical and preservative free which should be good for the skin. Also, as its preservative free, I make mine on a weekly basis. I hope this helps someone!

There are some fibers in the apple cider. So… Should I shake the container before mixing it? Or do I need to filter them out? Haha. I’m still new at this.
PB says: Apparently, those fibers or “mother” are what make Braggs or any organic apple cider vinegar effective so, I read once that you should shake it up and then put some on the cotton pad, and use the other side of the pad to wipe over your face, if the fibres bother you. I personally just use it as is and its fine. Hope that helps!
Haha. Thanks so much. I’m using Solana Gold ACV. Hope it’ll clear up my stubborn spots because most of the toners I’ve tried don’t seem to work. You’ll definitely get an update from me.
PB says: Apparently, so long as its unfiltered it’ll work. Do let us know how it goes.
I’ve been using the apple cider vinegar toner for a week now. And I say, I’m impressed by the results! I stopped getting rashes on my face. You know, those little itchy bumps that appear on places like your forehead. Also, my acne seems to be clearing up. New spots stopped appearing for like…. 5 days now. And my existing spots are starting to heal.
That’s the downside of having fair skin. I don’t have much acne. But when I do have them, it is very obvious. Little red dots on white face. Haha.
I mixed it with cooled down boiled water last week. So now, I’m making my new batch with green tea. It took a little getting used to. Because the smell is so strong. But look on the bright side. The smell cleared my blocked nose.
Also a little recipe for your insides:
- 1 teaspoon of ACV.
- 240ml of water/8oz
- 1 teaspoon of honey [best if it's an australian brand]
Drink it in the morning when you’re having breakfast. A great way to start your engine.
Oh… and by the way, thanks so much for the tip! I won’t be using any other toner from now on.
PB says: Yay! I’m glad it worked for you. Its pretty awesome eh? And thanks for your recipe for drinking it too!
I’ve used BRAGG ACV for a while. You take a shower and dry yourself. get a basin and fill it halfway with warm water. Add a half cup of ACV (shake it first) and mix. Take a face cloth and dip it in the basin and scrub your whole body, go light on face, is important to dry yourself with your hands (don’t use a towel) by rubbing them against the body until you are dried. You are going to see your skin peeled off when you start to dry up. Do this, and you will see that after a while your face and body will shine like an apple. It works.
thanks for the recipe on how to make ACV as a toner and morning drink. I will make my own toner tomorrow, hope I can find an organic ACV. Wish me good luck!
Suddenly I have Alipicia and after all the blood work has come back negitive( Auto-immue,thyroid,hormones) I have been told to take organic ACV and with sage tea( still looking for that) I should use it as a rinse to even the PH of my scalp.Anyone ever use ACV for that?
lynda: I never thought of using it to balance scalp PH but since vinegar is acidic I’m sure it’ll work. Besides if you go for organic apple cider vinegar, its probably better for your hair and scalp than using chemical shampoos. Do let us know if it works for you after you have tried it.
Hello everyone, I just had an idea to use Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar with a cotton pad straight on my face. Have been doing it for 2 days. My dark spots on either side of my face and my dark circles under my eyes are clearing up. I did not mix it with anything. Just straight out of the bottle. Try it, this stuff is awesome. To God Be the Glory for his all natural cures. In Jesus name!! Stinks like all get out but it leaves my skin terribly soft and the pigmentation problems are being corrected.
