Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Apple Cider Vinegar - Kitchen Cupboard Beauty Tips Apple cider vinegar has been the Wise Woman's health and beauty ally for centuries. Now science tells us that it promotes blood circulation in the small blood capillaries that irrigate the skin. It is also antiseptic, combating yeasts, viruses, and bacteria that can cause infection. Apple cider vinegar is rich in alpha-hydroxy acids, helping to dissolve fatty deposits on the skin's surface and reducing scaly conditions, promoting a softer, smoother appearance. This miracle fluid also regulates the pH of the skin. You won't believe how many ways apple cider vinegar can be used to promote healthier skin and hair! Find out some of the couldn't-be- simpler ways to put it to work for you, below: 1. Hair rinse: Apple cider vinegar gets rid of residue build-up on hair, leaving it soft and shiny. Mix 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar with 1 quart water and use as a final rinse after shampooing. 2. Stain remover: If your hands are stained from chopping berries, dab some straight apple cider vinegar on the stains and they'll disappear like magic. 3. Tired, swollen hands or feet: Rub a little apple cider vinegar on tired, sore, or swollen hands or feet and feel the soothing difference. 4.
