26/f. I have struggled with mild acne since adolescence. Within the last few years I have realized that my acne is directly related to my diet. Eat clean, my skin will clear up, eat processed food, and especially foods with a high GI, an immediate breakout will happen.
ACV helps if your acne is directly tied to diet. Because it helps control blood sugar levels, my skin is less sensitive to eating high GI foods.
When I first started using ACV, I made 3 mistakes. The first was to take too much too fast, the second was to not measure how much I was taking, and the third was to take it inconsistently. I was taking about 1 TBS a day. While my face cleared up, this caused a really bad breakout on my back that took a long time to clear off after I decided to stop taking it for awhile. About 9 months later I decided to start again, but slowly, accurate, and on a schedule. I've learned that A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. When I first started I was taking 1/2 TEASPOON once a week. A week later I upped it to 1/2 TEASPOON twice a week, which is what I am currently taking (diluted in a large glass of water).
It has been great!! I have gotten very few breakouts since, and my back which is quite clear, which is very unusual. Because I have started so slowly, my body has been able to get used to it without any major issues, and without any breakouts that others refer to as "the purge" and which is frankly not worth it and not necessary. If you would like to try this regime, know that a little really does go a long way and to start slowly, measure it out, and follow a schedule. I likely won't ever be drinking anywhere close to 1 TBS a day. I just don't think my body needs that much. Start slowly and you will know how much your body might need; it might be much less than others on here suggest.
Good luck!
This works for me, calms down acne related to digestive/liver issues, boil a cup of hot water and add 2-4 tablespoons of ACV, drink before, during, and after your meal. Obviously, you would need to wait for the boiled water to cool down, not only has this helped keep acne at bay but also helped digestive issues.
