Glow: Green Tea Facial Toner with Apple Cider Vinegar
Turns out vinegar isn’t just for your fish and chip dinner…
It helps to cleanse the scalp, rejuvenate damaged skin, balance skin pH and create skin harmony with its antibacterial and anti fungal properties.
Common conditions like dry skin, acne and eczema can be treated with apple cider vinegar. Due to the skin being naturally acidic, the pH level becomes rebalanced when applying the product and acts as a barrier for the skin.
Vinegars range from five to 20 per cent acidity making them a safe mild to moderate choice when using it on your own skin at home.

You can expect your skin to feel smoother, pores tighter and complexion more dewy due to its astringent, exfoliating abilities on our skin. It’s also rejuvenating for the skin as it is packed with natural antioxidants.
The solution also has antibacterial properties which can kill bacteria and prevent further breakouts and skin conditions.
Dilution ratio is crucial though to ensure you do not burn your skin, be sure to follow Una’s steps exactly, in order to make a fantastic natural product that’s also safe for your skin.
Vinegar is a cheaper alternative for a skin pick me up, however although it is mild in comparison to professional chemical peels it is still a must to wear sun protection during the day, regardless of the weather.
Never apply undiluted apple cider vinegar to the skin as it can cause harm. Always speak to a professional, especially if you have damaged skin.
