i was thinking of making a cleanser with baking soda and apple cider vinegar. how can i go this? id like to make it in a large amount and store it so that i dont have to make it everyday.
thanks

personally i wouldnt make it large amount so that next time you make it, it will be fresher and also you could get resistant to it/itll stop working sooner than you get to use it so itll be a waste

so id have to make it everytime i use it? might as well just buy something then.

You probably could make something to store, as I think the vinegar would act as a preservative, but I'm not sure.

Anything store bought will almost definitely contain chemical preservatives and a whole host of stuff that isnt good for acne or your skin in general. Now I use store bought stuff, but you should be aware of that.

I would say skip the baking soda. Just some Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar and keep it in the refrigerator. Add a few teaspoons to 8 ounces of water and use that as your face wash. I would still store that in the refrigerator. You can adjust the amount of vinegar in your cleanser depending on how your skin reacts to it. You may want to start with a lower percentage and gradually move up.

Maybe only make a weeks worth so it can stay fresh?
