wow great info! I'll go buy some too !

[arrhythmia]

I want to try this regimen but now i'm using Retin-A. I'm afraid it will irritate my skin.

I've heard of washing your hair with ACV, as well as drinking it with water.
But after reading this thread I decided to use it as a toner.
I've never used a toner before, (honestly I don't think I quite understand the reason for it? if someone could explain?) I also don't ever breakout at all.
So I've been using ACV on a cotton ball for the past three nights now, and I've had 4 little pimples on my nose and 2 little ones on my forhead, all 3 days now!?
Is this good? This is obviously because of the ACV, but should I stop??
I never have pimples naturally, will they go away?

Off Topic- I don't have very large pores, but I notice the ones around my nose area are visable, what do you girls suggest I do to "shriek" them?

Just a heads up on drink ACV...my mom told me that drinking it can be damaging to your stomachs...because acv is pretty strong stuff...

Katana--I broke out with it too. I don't know if it was a purging thing or not.

[katana]

Well I stopped using ACV as a toner, and I haven't broken out anymore, but if it is "purging" oil and whatnot out of my skin, then maybe I should continue with it, and it will stop (pimples) when my skins clean?

[rebeccalynn69]

If u can handle that period of purging time I would continue. I can't deal with it. But, having said that, I need to do it. Anything that gets all the bad out so u can heal it is good I think.

[Rubiez]

when i drink it...
2tbs mixed w/8oz of apple juice...(APPLE CIDER VINEGAR CURES)

i get this whammy in my throat like you would when downing a shot of tequilla or vodka or something like that...it's kinda nasty...but you gotta do what you gotta do for your beauty

[kissmydress]

I'm breaking out right now because of it too. It burned when I applied it to my face, eventhough I diluted it, and I actually think it made the redness in my face worse. I don't know what to do now. I loved it as a hair rinse though! It made my hair super shiny, but I could smell it all day.

[katana]

It kinda stung my checks the first couple times I applied it too!

[vabookworm]

I mix the tonic a few times a day (1 tablespoon of Bragg organic with water and drink with a straw), I use in my hair as a clarifier at least once a week, and I use on my face occassionally. I usually leave my face wet from washing, and then use it. ACV is acidic, so I think it gets rid of the dead skin and pulls the oils to the surface. I don't have an acne problem, and it doesn't make me break out. My husband has acne, and he thinks it helps his face.

I find the smell goes away after I put conditioner on my hair or lotion on my face. I prefer the organic version of ACV too.

me too!!!

[duhmoms]

I have been using the acv for awhile now. I just use it at night so the smell is not wafting from my face all day. My nightime routine is:
1.Cleanse with good ole Noxema
2.Tone with 50/50 water acv
3.I take a few drops of emu oil and warm it up by rubbing my fingers together and smoothe it all over my face and neck.
I call it my salad routine---vinegar/oil!
I have had problem skin most of my life, >40, and it has done wonders for my acne as well as the dry patches,makes my face super smooth

[MindySue]

i think i see a difference since using this earlier! i swear. but i always see a difference then my acne comes right back. ohwell.

[misstee]

Using ACV as a toner really stings my eyes and makes them water. =/
