Should I use 30% ACV + 30% Lemon and 40% water or should I start with something less/more concentrated?

 

Or, should I just use either ACV or lemon?

 

And how long can I keep the mixture? Should I refrigerate it? If I refrigerate it, must I take it out a while before applying so that it warms up?

 

Last thing, should I apply it everyday or is this a once-a-week thing?

Stick with Lemon or ACV .. DO NOT USE BOTH. That will be wayy to harsh for your skin and burn you.

i wouldnt use both, its too harsh

 

but i know from experience lemon juice worked for me, it takes a while but even before the redmarks go away, it gives your skin a really nice glow(people have even mentioned it on me)

 

if you decide to try it, start out with significantly more water in the toner and work your way to about a 50/50 mixture, i use it everynight on a cottonball

Lemon juice is a good AHA, acv and lemon juice have about the same pH (I think so). It also rids the smell of acv and advances the healing of spots as it lightens it well. So do this. 1 tsp of acv. 1 tsp of lemon juice. 2 to 3 tsp of water. This way you have a 50% solution of your acidic base (lemon juice + acv), then the rest of the 50% is water. (Even more water is better) This will be very gentle to the skin and work well.
