Strange beauty vinegar face mask

JOBURG – Try out a vinegar face mask for better complexion.

Claire Brown writes: Strange Beauty

I know, this sounds strange as Apple Cider vinegar seems such a harsh ingredient but it is actually a great beauty treat for your skin. Vinegar will help improve your overall complexion by balancing and restoring your skin’s natural pH. Our skin is naturally acidic but when our levels are in balance our skin will live at the perfect level between oily and dry. When you pH levels are out of balance, that is when you experience break outs, your pores get clogged or your skin becomes too oily or too dry.

Additional benefits to Apple Cider Vinegar:

· Rich in natural alpha hydroxy acids

· Lightens sun and age spots

· Dissolves dead skin cells

· Improves acne and acne scars

· Helps minimize appearance of pores
