11 Beauty Benefits of Apple Cider Vinega

By Lindsay Cohn, Reader's Digest

You likely associate apple cider vinegar with the kitchen, but this natural wonder also deserves a spot on your vanity. From a banishing breakouts to treating dandruff, here’s why ACV should be part of your beauty routine.



01

Banish blemishes

Skin in need of a serious pore-purging? For a DIY acne remedy, combine equal parts apple cider vinegar and bentonite clay. You can use this as a face mask or a spot treatment! “ACV is a natural astringent, so it balances out sebum levels, making it particularly well suited for oily and acne-prone complexions,” says Tara Mackey, author of Cured by Nature and founder of The Organic Life. And bentonite clay draws out toxins and impurities. Don’t miss these blemish-busting face masks.



02

Tone skin

Apple cider vinegar contains antimicrobial components, which act as a natural cleanser for the skin, while its alpha hydroxy acids and acetic acid gently dissolve dead skin and stimulate circulation, leaving your complexion looking brighter and tighter. “After rinsing my face with water, I like to soak a cotton ball with ACV and gently wipe my face in circles to wash away impurities,” says Jacqueline Schaffer, MD, wellness expert, founder of Schique Skincare, and author of Irresistible You.



03

Whiten teeth

Beyond banishing bad breath, apple cider vinegar can also help remove stains and whiten teeth. That said, because it’s acidic, it needs to be properly diluted and used sparingly—otherwise you run the risk of damaging enamel. The proper proportions: one part apple cider vinegar to two parts water. Gargle for about 60 seconds; rinse your mouth thoroughly with water, and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing your teeth. Discover the seven foods that whiten your teeth (and four to avoid).



04

Soften skin

Who doesn’t love a relaxing soak before bed? Boost the beauty benefits of your bath by pouring in some apple cider vinegar. It contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, and C to nourish and soften skin. These are the reasons you should start taking apple cider vinegar baths.



05

Combat dandruff

The human body—including the scalp—has a natural pH of between 4.5 and 5.5, which is fairly acidic. Conditions like dandruff, bacteria, and fungus occur when our scalp pH becomes too alkaline, explains Mackey. One way to fight flakes? Mix together equal parts apple cider vinegar and distilled water. Massage the solution into your scalp and rinse thoroughly. Repeat once or twice a week. ACV’s antifungal abilities help fight dandruff, while its acidic properties restore natural pH levels.



06

Remove product buildup

Product buildup can weigh down hair, making it look dull and lackluster. Sure, you could use a store-bought clarifying shampoo, but why not try a DIY remedy? Mix two tablespoons apple cider vinegar with one cup distilled water. After shampooing, pour the solution over strands. Rinse thoroughly, and follow with conditioner on the ends only. According to Jaya Jaya Myra, a natural health expert and author of Vibrational Healing, the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar strips away residue and restores shine. PS. Jessica Alba swears by this weekly treatment.

Soothe sunburn

Apple cider vinegar can deliver much needed relief for sun-ravaged skin. Not only is it a powerful anti-inflammatory, but it also contains potassium, which helps speed up recovery. Combine one half-cup apple cider vinegar and four cups distilled water; soak a washcloth in the mixture and apply to the affected area to reduce redness and swelling and prevent blisters and peeling. If you’re sunburnt all over, consider an ACV-spiked bath. Also, try these at-home sunburn remedies.
