Hi guys. I was wondering, do you guys leave the ACV on, do you rinse it off after a while? Also, how do you apply it? I've been applying it with just my hands (I pour the mixture onto a little bowl and use it from there)... is that okay, or should I apply it some other way?
Also, I have very oily skin. How do you recommend I use it? I guess I need to use a more concentrated solution than most, but how often? Should I leave it on? |

| I have oily skin too. I use ACV as a toner. I just mix about 3 parts ACV and 2 parts water and put it in a spray bottle. I spray it on my face as a toner and leave it on. |

| Does it help with the oiliness at all? |

Oh yes it does with me, it's the best thing I ever discovered. It is great for outbreaks and sunburn, plus if I've been a naughty messpot, it takes all the redness down and prevents from infection.
I use this at night mainly and if I'm at home, during the day as well. |

| Oh yes, it REALLY helps with oiliness -- more than anything I've previously tried. The more AVC you put into the mixture the more drying it becomes. |

That's very true!! I have super-oily skin, but it's a bit sensitive too. When I first started with the ACV toner, I mixed it at 4 parts ACV with 1 part water and found that was too strong/drying, so I cut back to 2:2...BTW, I also added in green tea to my toner and *I* like it better...I apply the toner in the mornings/evenings, after washing my face and using the homemade Dr. Holland  Cleansing Cream. I put a little ACV toner on a cotton pad and swipe it over my face -- I'm liking this homemade ACV/green tea toner better than all of the high-end brand toners I've tried for oily skin!!! |

| me too, I love it better than ANY toner I have tried, I have also UPed the content of ACV to half and half. I don't have oily skin, I have normal/combo, but I love it, it flakes off all my imperfections, and they are pretty painless, unlike the UGLY flaking I got from retin A. |

How much does it help your oiliness?
Should I use it morning & evening, or just one or the other?
Is it okay to put on BP and moisturizer after I put on ACV? |

FYI - you use ACV toner just like any other toner: cleanse face, apply toner, then apply any serums and/or moisturizer once the toner has dried on your skin. Start out using the ACV toner twice daily (morning & night, after cleansing face as usual). |

I have an odd (not so odd) question to ask
I bought rosewater and aloe vera juice yesterday, and I want to make some mists.
Should I mix ACV with rosewater or aloe vera juice, or both, or just water?
Should I mix Green Tea Extract with rose water or aloe vera, or both, or just water?
I've also heard that aloe juice is better used alone is that true? if it is... I should use aloe juice as a mist on its on without mixing in with anything right?

I just tried homemade ACV and green tea toner for a couple days now and I love it. It helps me get rid of the excess oil at my face.

Does anyone know if it's okay to put BP on after? |

| I'm not sure what BP is, but to reiterate what Carekate said it acts as a regular toner. So if you normally apply BP after toner then you should be just fine! |

| BP is benzoyl peroxide. It's the main part of the acne.org regimen. |

I'd just like to add that I have been using ACV mixed with water for the past week and I'm now a convert!
In fact, after work today, I plan on heading over to the market and picking up the Ylang-Ylang EO, Vitamin C powder, some Green Tea herbal extract and rosewater.
Oh... and white vinegar to clean out my coffee machine!  |

You might want to pick up some Lemon EO, too, as it's very beneficial to oily skin and the Y-Y and Lemon combo really knocks out the vinegary smell. FYI - I recently updated my ACV toner recipe on pg 1 of the DIY thread to include the Lemon EO, along with a long to a page that explains the benefits of the various EOs. Peppermint EO in the toner is really nice too! |

Hi jacob,
After replying to your first post I did not want to overwhelm you re: Avon's toner. I think you will find that you can make a toner for a fraction of the price you are paying. And yes, Alcohol is a BIG NO NO.
Hang around jacob.

You asked for it my friend
I am so glad you found EDS. For years I just bought product from ADs and online review sites. The best advice you can get is from actual users.

Count me in as an ACV believer! A week ago I bought a bottle of Bragg's Organic ACV and mixed it 50:50 with distilled water and put it in a spray bottle. I am using it twice per day after cleansing and I can't believe the difference in my pores and the texture of my skin. I was initially afraid of drying my skin out, but this mix seems perfect for my combo/oily skin. I had seen this remedy on MUA, but assumed it was only for skin with acne.
The only other toners that I ever fell in love with and continued to use was Clinique's Mild Clarifying toner and Dr. Hauschka's Clarifying. The ACV mix puts them both to shame!

rather than starting a new thread about ACV.
does brand or type (organic) matter?
the local grocery store has their store brand ACV very cheap...and my Aunt has some that's been sitting there for who knows how long...
But id rather buy my own fresh little bottle lol...so does brand or type matter or is ACV...ACV across the board?
thanks guys |

hi jacob
I just went to the local supermarket to see what range of AVC they had..
THe prices were so different. There is a 'Healtheries' brand which is a big health/natural supplement company. THeir AVC was $8 for 750mls (sorry metrics). And a grocery brand of AVC which was labelled just as 'cider',was half the price!! There were other generic brands of apple cider too for only $2 for the same size.
But my point is.. I had a look on the ingredients and read the labels too.. Some of them I noticed contained food acid and other things like preservatives. So I guess the big thing is to get a pure apple cider. ANd if it is going to be for the face, I'd just spend a extra dollar or two on something that boasts using purer apples or something.
Since you dilute the cider, it would work out cheaper than any toner you buy
I'd just go for a better brand cuz it feels better :P |
