Happy New Year! And since we start the year with a total bombardment of new amazing discoveries all over the internet, I was happy that one beloved client chose one article and sent it to me for an opinion (who am I to refuse to give my opinion :)) Here is the link if you want to read it in its womansvibe/reasons-wash-face-apple-cider-vinegar/ Now heres my evaluation - First and foremost, go back and read again the part about the dangers of using it undiluted ! My reality is that using any kind of acid (ACV, salicylic acid, AHA, etc) to burn off more skin cells, ostensibly so you renew fresh skin faster, is ridiculous and dangerous. The body renews surface cells at the proper rate for each age and hormonal stage. The real problem is that we dont remove that dead layer regularly or GENTLY and we never see healthy skin. When you allow that dead layer to accumulate, you then want to sandblast your leathery layer, but again, you shouldnt get to that point! None of the acids will prevent pimples, pustules, breakouts or blemishes. No antibacterial properties of any treatment will PREVENT your body from processing internal toxins out through your skin. Ultimately, the promise of a miracle treatment is an empty one. Nothing replaces a simple daily routine of gently washing and proper moisturizing, and a weekly peel exfoliation using elbow grease to remove that dead layer.
