Apple Cidar Vinegar as a toner?

I'm not going to lie...I was a little hesitant about using Apple Cidar Vinegar as a facial toner but I have been pleasantly surprised. I mixed green tea and the vinegar together to make the toner and have been using it for about a week and I actually really like it. Apple Cidar Vinegar is a natural treatment for acne. It unclogs pores and encourages skin renewal. I've noticed that a few of my blemishes have greatly reduced in size since using it and my skin just looks better overall. So if you suffer from acne or just get the occasional breakout I would suggest trying this easy and inexpensive treatment. Oh and DO NOT put the vinegar straight onto your face without diluting it with something first! It can be very irritating to the skin if used alone. There are numerous recipes for Apple Cidar Vinegar toners on the web but I am using the one PETA has provided in the following video...

Skin Care

I've received many compliments on my skin from you all and have been asked a number of times what skin care I use. First off I would like to say that I do not have prefect skin at all! Oh how I wish I did. Makeup and lighting can do wonders haha. I have a bit of redness and some scarring from past breakouts which have faded quite a bit from a couple of other products I use but I will save that for another post! I have oily skin which can be really frustrating at times but mattifying products are my friend and help keep it at bay. So with all that being said here is my skin care routine..

Morning
  • Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for all skin types
  • Acne.org Treatment (The only thing that works for me and keeps my breakouts away! It can be purchased at www.acne.org!)
  • Up & Up Oil Free Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 15
  • Soap & Glory Eye Maintenance Moisturizing Gel
Night
  • Philosophy Purity Made Simple one-step facial cleanser (My favorite cleanser in the whole world! Literally melts all the makeup off and gently cleanses the face.)
  • Acne.org Treatment
  • Acne.org Moisturizer
  • Soap & Glory Eye Maintenance Moisturing Gel

I also use..

  • Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque (I use this about 2-3 nights a week.)
  • Up & Up Facial Scrub for Blemishes and Blackheads (I like to use this in the morning in place of Cetaphil about 2 times a week.)
That's pretty much it! I hope that this helped some of you and if you have any questions about anything just leave me a comment or email me!
