Acne Remedy - Apple Cider Vinegar/Green Tea Exfoliant & Toner

BEFORE









Ingredients and Benefits

EXFOLIANT/MASK:

1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar has Anti bacterial properties which helps with the cleaning of pores, removal of excess oils and bacteria, helping treat age spots and discolored skin patches.

2 tsp Green Tea (Hot Tea that's been cooled to room temp.)
Green Tea contains a potent of antioxidants which helps fight free radicals. Free radicals are the toxins from radiation which causes premature aging of the skin.

1 tsp Honey
Honey contains antioxidant properties. It is also anti-bacterial. Honey helps with clearing the skin, tightening pores, reducing premature aging and reducing oil.

5-7 tsp Granulated Sugar (Raw Sugar and Sea Salt can also be used)
Sugar is a natural exfoliant which brightens up the complexion, creating smooth skin, eliminating blemishes and restoring the balance of skins oils.

TONER:

1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
(Benefits listed above)

2/3 cup Green Tea (Hot Tea that's been cooled to room temp.)
(Benefits listed above)

See Video on how I prepare the exfoliant/mask and toner

1. Cleanse skin with your normal facial wash. I use African Black Soap. Leave skin semi-damp.

2. Apply the exfoliant to your hands and in circular motions, gently massage the exfoliant into your skin for about 3 minutes avoiding eye area and concentrating on areas that need special attention. Leave the exfoliant on your skin for about 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and towel/paper towel dry.

3. With a cotton pad, apply a small amount of toner then swipe it onto your skin concentrating on areas that need special attention. Avoid eye area. Allow 2 minutes to dry.

4. Apply your usual moisturizer.

5. (Optional) Spot Treat with plain white toothpaste. (This works very good)

You will notice softer skin instantly and clearer/brighter skin within 2 weeks. Exfoliate twice a week. Toner may be used every night. Store in fridge. Expires in 14 days.

Other helpful additions:

Lemon: Helps with brightening complexion
Olive Oil: Helps with dry skin and will not clog pores
Tea Tree Oil: Helps preserve so product last longer

  7. I have been on this since my last post and I must say there is a huge improvement. All my acne has disappeared. I still have dark spot but those are fading too. I am using Palmers Skin success fade cream to help and it's working. This mixture you posted removed most of the bumps I had overnight. My skin looks more clear and the tone even looks better. I used to wear a lot of make up to cover the scars and my my skin look even but now all I use is a little bronzer very lightly and that's it. My skin looks great even with out it. I cant wait until the dark spots are completely gone! Thanks for this blog. It has be a esteem boost for me.

    1. Sorry for the late response. I just use my normal cleanser and daily moisturizer. You can also exfoliate if you need to, but don't use the toner because the smell is terrible. Also, use a spf so your skin stays protected!

  13. Apple cider is one of the most natural products that you can count me. Aside that it can be use for cooking but it can also be used as part f your beauty regimen. Apple cider is cheap yet effective and safe for every type of skin. You can also try to look at this site for more acne products.
