Natural Skin Toner

When Konny weaned, my hormones shifted and my skin went CRAZY. I was getting big deep painful cysts. It's considered adult acne and the remedy is benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and it was getting me nowhere. I figured there has to be a better solution, so I started researching natural acne treatments.

The first thing I did was switch to a more natural cleanser. I also started using the oil cleansing method once a week or so, but the thing that made the biggest difference is apple cider vinegar.

It took several weeks of consistent use to really see a difference and I still get occasional breakouts, but they're just at the surface. The big deep painful cysts are gone.

All you need is apple cider vinegar, water and a container to put it in. Make sure to find an organic or natural apple cider vinegar that is cloudy and/or separates a bit. That's the good stuff, also known as the "mother of vinegar."


You'll want to test out different ratios to see what your skin tolerates. Apple cider vinegar is an acid and has the potential to burn your skin. Start with it very diluted and work your way up. I prefer 1:2 vinegar to water.


Apple cider vinegar has amazing antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It helps regulate the pH of your skin and keep the acne causing bacteria at bay. Supposedly this works even better if you ingest a tbsp or two daily, but I am so not there yet.


Since using it on my face, I've read tons of other uses for apple cider vinegar. It's definitely a product you don't want to be without in your home!
