In my previous post I asked if she took Vit C supplements. Since then I went and looked at your first post about her again and now see that you wrote that she didn't take supplements. Of course you had already realised to ask her that when first talking to her about all this! :P

Rive - I wash my face and then when it is still slightly damp, I apply it Neat/Straight onto my skin and leave it to dry there. But you can dilute if you want to.

Catlover - hehe - she takes no supplements or uses any topicals at all :P That's why I was in such shock at her improvements. Her rolling scars were very, very bad - enormous amounts of hyperpigmentation too - now, her face is almost smooth and hardly any marks. With the lemon, it is only around half a lemon a day, that wouldn't be much in terms of the Vit C (I already took 4 grams of the stuff every day, making no noticeable difference) - I think the very diluted lemon helps to keep flushing toxins out of the body. Using too much lemon would detox the body too much and that might cause a flare up.

hi maya, in many places lemon is lime and lime is lemon, so which one do you use, the green one or the yellow one? also, what color is your vinegar? ive got some brownish cane alcohol vinegar or something like that and do you think drinking lemonade (with sugar and stuff) would be just as good as half a lemon in a glass or something like that?

Lemons are yellow. :P

I am also trying this and I think I might be seeing minor improvements, but it might be the N-Lite too -- hard to tell what's working now since I have tried so many things of late.

wow wow wow, people people people!
smelly vinegar people with a side order of cod and mushy pies!

we started off wid the following (quote): -

"
1. Drink either lemon barley water or water with a little lemon juice all day long
2. To use any diluted vinegar in warm water to splash onto the face day and night.
"

and ended up wid (not quote): -

i jus chuck the vinegar bottle on me face mornin and night!

lol

Maya didnt u say it was a old remedy book, so dont u think we should all including u stick to the original sun scripts (remedy)! (retorical question)
:P

listen i gona give u my knowlegde on the remedy the original remedy!

MY INSITE -

OK! (CAPITAL LETTERS NOT ANGRY)

LEMON - VIT C HELP WID SKIN.
CITRUS ACID HELPS INTERNALLY!

BARLEY - USED TO TREAT SORE THOATS > THEREFORE SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF POSITIVE AFFECT ON ACNE!

BY THE WAY BARLEY IS A TYPE OF WHEAT GRAIN. i BELIEVE U CAN BUY IT IN SUPERMARKETS IN THE FORM OF FLOUR (NOT SURE) OR AS SOME SORT OF CRUSH FORM!

VINEGAR - NOT SURE BUT ACIDIC AND GREAT WID ME CHIPS!

ANALYSE - ACIDS BURN HOLES IN SKIN IN STRONG FORM SO I PERSUME MILD ACIDS HAVE SOME KIND OF MILDER AFFECT,
REMOVING DEAD SKIN FROM THE SURFACE THERFORE BRING THE SKIN DOWN TO THE LEVEL OF THE ICE PICS!

Da way i gona do it!

1. water with added lemon and barley (flour or wat ever i can find) - drink through out of the day 8 glasses minimum aday!

2. put No. 2 to one side for a moment!

i dont wana walk around smellin like vinegar i cant stand the smell!but dont mind eating it!

so

return -

2. vinegar diluted in warm water after having a hot shower/bath every night!

why bath/shower u ask - well after havin a hot bath/shower the pores in ur skin open up!

At the moment i use aloe vera in the morning after a shower all over my body and add a few drops of tree oil to the aloe vera, skin soft and smooth! so il stick to that and leave the vinegar alone in the mornings!

dont wana come a vinegar holic dat early in the morning
sory bad joke!
ethonal -> vinegar

peace!

p.s. hope the insite helped and hope i aint sounding arragent!

This is all very entertaining. When you Brits say vinegar on your "chips", do you mean potato chips or French Fries? (oh, excuse me, i believe that we are supposed to call them "Freedom Fries" now :roll: ). Just curious because I don't think of chips when I smell vinegar- usually salad dressing or maybe Easter eggs.
For those of you who have had needling- I just had it done a week ago. Any thoughts on if it's too soon for vinegar? I figure that I shouldn't do any home peels or exfoliating yet and don't know if the vinegar might actually impede collagen growth while my skin is still healing internally. Or might it help?

They mean by "chips" what we call "french fries"/"freedom fries" whateva. :P

lynn - I would probably use diluted vinegar not straight so that your skin doesn't become too irritated. I used it after my laser surgery on the recommendation of my Dermatologist, so it should be fine to use.

Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic) - and I put my retin-a on around 20 minutes after this.
Hey Maya, do you rinse the vinegar off your face before you put on retin-a? If so, how long should you leave the vinegar before you rinse it off?

P - :P Yes, HALF a TEASPOON of Lemon juice to one full glass of water. (It's around half a lemon a day with the lemons I have)

youknowyourright - LOL!! a lemon is a lemon and yellow, just like Tamara/Oursfan said!

Tamara - I am using this along with retin-a and copper peptides - and it has added more power to the treatment.

Skimz - LOL!!

lynn - I agree with Tamara - should be OK used diluted - will help with the healing. In the UK, Chips are french fries.

heymikey - I leave on the vinegar and then put on the retin-a - I don't wash off

Hey Maya or anyone who can fill me in here

Can I squeeze about half a lemon into a bottle of water instead of drinking the water by glasses?

hey maya, got on the new method yesterday and going to give it ago for a while. Think i drank to much lemon water yesterday, to much lemon dont make you feel the best. Have no idea how the girl whos face you were on about looked so much different with that level of scarring and just vinegar and a lemon to help it. Bizarre is not the word!!! Gives us all hope though!! Think i'll have to make sure i apply the vinegar before the morning shower as you really dont smell the best if you dont!!

Called Freedom Fries now, because of the negativity towards the French...This came about during the recent war with US and Iraq. The French were non supportive to the US, hence why some Americans call french fries, freedom fries.
