2. Apple Cider Vinegar:

Apple cider vinegar has loads of antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Malic and lactic acids are found in the vinegar are known to soften and exfoliate your skin and hence, can treat your acne effectively. Apple cider vinegar contains anti-fungal and antibacterial properties; destroys the acne causing bacteria and heals the skin. It can also reverse the damage and helps in maintaining the pH balance of your skin. When used in a diluted form, the apple cider vinegar’s acidity will balance your skin and hence, it will destroy the bacteria. The acidic properties of the apple cider vinegar will help in shedding any dead skin cells and excess oil that might block the pores and your skin stays healthy. Apple Cider Vinegar should not be applied directly to the face. If you do not dilute it with water, it can result in skin burns. Do a patch test on your neck and leave it for a minimum of 15 minutes to make sure there is no irritation.
