wow, i tried it tonight and will surely continue since everyone is raving about ACV it seems 🙂 oh i just have two questions. i am from austria and my dictionary is confusing me a bit. is apple cider vinegar the same as cider vinegar? and can i just fill the toner in a random bottle so i don't have to mix it every evening? does it have to be a glass bottle or would plastic also be okay? how long is the lastingness if i keep it in a bottle?
Yes Apple Cider Vinegar and Cider Vinegar are the same
this has probably been asked (please bear w/ me). how much of the stuff do you you need on? does the cotton pad have to be completely soaked, leaving your face visibly wet. Or do i just damp the pad? im using an old spray bottle (similar to a non-aerosol hair spray bottle) and it doesnt seem to spay a lot so, i wanna know if a the more the better or if it matters....
wow lavender oil sounds all right. it kills germs but it gives guys titties. haha despite that tho. i mixed 1 cup water 1 cup acv. how many drops would i put in that? oh and thanks SmashingPumpkins and i hope that baby doesnt stop u from finishing school. 😀
lol "it kills germs but it gives guys titties." No, it won't I am alrdy close to being done this semester actually only got 1 more full month which is April bc we get out May 5th and spring break in March. As far as the baby goes bc I am only 19 and my boyufriend and I don't ahve the means to support a child yet we are looking into adoption, which is going to be and has been the hardest thing in my entire life, I don't think it gets much worse then this.
smasingpumpkins your skin looks great, i have no idea why you are using acv. I dont see any problem with your skin at all. You have very nice full lips also. you look like sarah maclachlan
thank you for the compliment, I can't really show any of you how my skin looks or how it looks to me and makes me feel. First of all my camera sucks now and is only becoming more and more stupid as time goes on lol, it hasd a special battery and unfortunately it cna only be ordered offline. To me my skin isn't great, I did have alot of blackheads, and redmarks on my nose and chin that have been there for years my nose and chin was basically a different color from the rest of my face. I also had a huge brown spor on my right side of my face bc I applied nair to this patch of hair and well it turned my skin brown and chnaged the texture. It stayed the same for 6 months until I used ACV now its gone, the only time it shows up a little is if I go tanning, then it fades. I haven't been able to use ACV as much as I would like to be right now my astringent bottle is full so I am waiting for that and after finding out I was pregnant I stopped everything bc A) Afraid of hurting the baby and B) my face didn't matter ... not to mention being pregnant gave me acne and oily skin like I was 14 again, it has finally almost subsided but my back and shoulders still get some breakouts.
Hey I apologize if this has been asked, but I use BP in the morning and Retin A at night. Would it be best to use ACV before I put on the BP? Can I drink a few teaspoons of ACV as well? Thanks.
i use acv on my face and every once in awhile drink it. as far as bp is concerned i dont know.
smashingpumpkins, its good to know that ur thinking of not only ur baby but ur self too. u gotta know he or she will be better off like that. 🙂
Just thought I'd share.. I started the ACV thing last night. I was going to post this in my other thread, but I figured I'd share here, too. Here's my recipe for 8oz'es of toner:
4oz Apple Cider Vinegar
4oz Water with 4 bags of Green Tea & 1 bag of Chamomile Tea steeped in it for at least 30 minutes
10-15 drops of Tea Tree oil
10-15 drops of Jojoba oil
10 finely crushed aspirin

ACV always before any liquid/gel application
Yes some ppel drink it, it does have alot of health benefits and there are numerous sites about it. I suggets mizing a few teaspoons/tablespoons w/e (lol) in some apple cider or apple juice if you do it that way you can barely taste it or smell it, but just adding it to water is disgusting.
I hear nothing but rave reviews for ACV - I have organic Bragg's ACV @ home that I occasionally use for different homemade concoctions but I thought I would mention that if you have food poisoning, doing a shot of pure ACV and letting it sit for approx 30 mins before eating/drinking anything will cure you. No joke.
It also works as an awesome remedy for yeast infections (ladies, you know how much these suck). Drink a tablespoon in 8oz of water 3x/day and it'll be gone in a day or two. Monistat costs $18 or so dollars, ACV is about $3. Can't beat it.
Just be sure if you do drink it, to rinse very well with water or consider brushing with some baking soda. It's incredibly acidic and very bad for your teeth. I drink thru a straw to help a little with this.

yea i got drunk the other day and i decided to drink some of my acv toner in hopes of not getting a hang over. and it really worked, the next day i wasnt hung over and i didnt have gut rot. but i dont know how much i drank. 😀
i didnt know it was that good to drink?so everyday u shoul drink a bit with water?
what does it do?
it cleans out the bad stuff in ur body. i normally drink about 2 tbsp or 30 ml (same amount). i drink it straight but chase it with a fruit drink cause it taste horrible. i use a cold medicine cup to measure it. its like a shot glass that measures it right at 30 ml. 😀
oh and dont let it sit in ur mouth cause it can destroy ur enamel.
My ACV says 5% acidity. Is that enough? Too much? Too little?
However, I'm on day 2 of this regime. My skin is a lot softer, and the red marks are not as bad as before. I've took pictures of me before I started this. After 2 weeks I'll take another picture to compare, and will post.
I'm just hoping that my skin will get better in time for summer. I'll be performing, and I don't want to perform in front hundreds of people with red marks.
Just some quick questions for anyone who can answer :
I bought some ACV last night, Heinz brand with 5% acidity, and when I applied it to my face I felt absolutely nothing. Not a tingle, not a burning sensation, nada. Did I get the right stuff?
And, I'm sure someone has said something about this before but I'm too lazy to look, this stuff smells like straight ass. It made me nauseous when I tried to go to sleep with it on my face. I eventually did sleep, but I can't imagine walking around with this on my face and it smelling any better. For the sake of the people around me and myself, will the smell disappear on it's own, or will putting BP and moisturizer on it tone it down?
