2 Inexpensive Beauty Remedies Using Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar

Lehticia Leo
We all have these two items around the house, whether it be in our medicine cabinets or our refrigerators. These two regular house hold items can serve double duty for beauty purposes. It has been argued they can perform better than department store priced items.

As a cleanser, baking soda. The cost for this is no more than $1.00, I bet you never guessed tha what you use to deodorize your fridge can clean your skin better than most expensive cleansers. The way to use Baking Soda as a facial cleanser is to take a palm full in one hand and add just a tiny bit of water,If you add too much water it will develop into too much of a liquid consistency and you will not be able to apply it to your face,It should become a paste.Apply to your face and scrub,It will be tingly at first but this is a good sign,it means that it is working correctly.Scrub in for about one minute,then rinse off and pat dry.I have had people ask me what kind of foundation it is that I use,when in reality I had no makeup on aside from a bit of Mascara and Blistex.

As an acne treatment, apple cider vinegar. The cost for this is no more than $2.50. I have one and only one complaint about this. For about twenty minutes after you rinse the Apple Cider Vinegar off of your skin, the scent will linger,and boy do i mean linger.It has an extremely pungent smell to it, and in my opinion ,It is not very sexy to do this while your partner is around, being that you will smell like some sort of acid like salad dressing.Apple Cider Vinegar works wonders on Acne if you can put up with the smell for a few minutes. First you apply some Apple Cider Vinegar onto your face with a cotton ball ( After using cleanser).This has to stay on your skin for about 15 minutes.After you have allowed the fifteen minutes for the Apple Cider Vinegar to seep in , Rinse it off and pat dry, don't rub! You should start seeing clearer skin in less than a week , but you must do this once every night for your skin to clear up.Another completely irrelevant effect of Apple Cider Vinegar is that it is said to help you lose weight If mixed with one liter of water to 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar.

    Baking soda and apple cider vinegar definitely work for acne! I got rid of mine through dietary changes, but back when I didn't know what was causing it, those 2 products definitely helped me keep most breakouts at bay.
