Acne is not the first thing that
comes to mind when someone talks about apple cider
vinegar, but still you'll find many acne sufferers
who'll be ready to swear by apple cider vinegar and
acne. It has proved to be a very good natural and
effective home remedy for acne. At least they feel this
way.
There
are various reasons for this, and so it seems that there
might be a connection between apple cider vinegar and
acne. But let us first understand what actually causes
acne, and then it will easier to understand why apple
cider vinegar proves effective for
acne.
Acne
is a complicated problem and there are many causes
behind this such as the building up of toxins within the
body, the over production of the sebum gland and other
reasons such as stress.
Apple
cider vinegar is good for the liver thus it strengthens
your liver thus helps the liver in expelling the toxins
from the system. It is also very rich in vitamins which
help in keeping the body healthy which in the long run
helps in fighting various bacteria including the acne
bacteria.
There
are various ways to use apple cider vinegar for acne
problems, the best way being to drink it. But drinking
it just like that can be tough as it does not have a
nice taste so you can mix it up with some drink. Mixing
it up with green tea helps a lot, as green tea itself is
also good for acne. You can start
with once a day and then go up to three cups daily. It
also helps if you dab a little apple cider vinegar on
the acne. It dries up the acne and soon they disappear
completely. But there is a side effect to apply it
directly to the face, as it'll not only dry the acne but
also dry the skin. So, the best way is to drink it. If
you continue to drink it regularly you'll see an
improvement in your acne
condition.
Though
apple cider vinegar and acne might be a useful
combination, but this is not a permanent solution. The
only complete and permanent solution is adopting the
holistic approach towards the acne. The holistic
approach treats the body as a whole and eliminates the
root causes of acne and makes sure that the acne does
not come back at all. Strengthening the liver only
solves a very small part of a big problem. But along
with strengthening the liver, you also need to help your
body regain the right hormonal balance and the holistic
approach does exactly that by providing an overall
approach towards the problem. Just the apple cider
vinegar will not help – what you need is the holistic
approach to permanently cure your
acne.
