Apple Cider Vinegar for Age Spots
last updated on 5 November 2011
What it does: The high acid content in apple cider vinegar makes it an excellent skin exfoliator.
How to do it: Dab a little apple cider vinegar on age spots every night before you go to bed. Leave this on overnight. (If it stings too much, wash off and dilute the mixture with a little water. ) Repeat this for 3-4 weeks and you should see those age spots lighten.
Extra: For men, apple cider vinegar is also a great aftershave. This will keep skin soft.
hi samantha . In most article about apple cider vinegar it always indicated that only apple cider vinegar is the best for skin care that other are not good enough . Is that right ? Because what am using presently is malt vinegar and am also drinking it . What are the benefits of drinking it? Does it also improve skin? please note what am using is malt vinegar and not apple cider .
Apple cider vinegar seems to be the most common used to treat the skin, but malt vinegar can also produce similar effects. Like I said before, all vinegars are acids and they act the same way to slough off old skin cells. However, the nutrient content would vary as they comes from different sources (apples vs barley).
The health benefits of drinking malt vinegar are similar to drinking ACV (may help digestion etc). You can go a simple online search to learn more.
