Apple Cider Vinegar for Ultimate Feminine Beauty & Health

Apple Cider Vinegar for Ultimate Feminine Beauty and Health

Apple cider vinegar is widely used around the world, in natural cosmetology, as well as for acquiring ultimate feminine beauty - from head to toe. I LOVE it! Even ancient Egyptian women such as Cleopatra used it for their skin, hair and body care - as did the geisha. Moreover, it has acquired great popularity in modern times, and acceptance by many advocates of natural health and beauty.


Apple cider vinegar is considered to be a very rich source of many essential trace elements - such as potassium, calcium, sodium, iron and magnesium. It kills many disease-causing microbes in the gastrointestinal tract too, and has a beneficial effect on colds, and much, much more.

And, to return your entire body to feminine beauty and radiance, start using apple cider vinegar DAILY! However, for cosmetic procedures, you'll need pure, unadulterated apple cider vinegar. So, carefully read the ingredient list cupcakes - and there should be only apple cider vinegar and water - no sugar or flavors added.


Now, let's take a look at one of nature's best healing and beautifying ingredients....



Apple Cider Vinegar for Haircare, and to Prevent Dandruff and Hair Loss


Usually, we lose about 100 hairs a day, and during pregnancy, as well as in the colder months, the hair may fall out even more. But if you're experiencing hair loss, it's highly recommended to drink (for a duration of 6-8 weeks,) a glass of boiled water with 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar added to it. Apple cider vinegar strengthens the hair and promotes hair growth.


Apple cider vinegar has long been seen as a mean to restore hair. And, making a weak solution of apple cider vinegar that's been mixed in water, is an ideal way to rinse the hair. After washing and conditioning your hair, rinse with a solution of 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar added to 2 cups of cold/warm water.


Regularly carrying out such a procedure, you can return your hair to it's former shiny and smooth texture. Besides, by including this hair rinse in your regular haircare routine, you can forget about dandruff altogether!


Those of you who do want to get rid of dandruff, apply to the scalp a little warmed apple cider vinegar. Then, wrap the hair in some plastic wrap - and cover with a towel. Leave it to sit on your head for a whole hour. And, after an hour has elapsed, wash and condition the hair as normal.


ACV is great for getting lush and shiny hair. It can not only restore dry, brittle and unruly hair, but help to strengthen damaged hair cuticles - by restoring the PH acid balance of hair. And, in the well-known apple cider vinegar hair rinse, is 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar to 2 cups of warm water. This rinse also clarifies the hair, removing the remnants of accumulated hair products, and giving the hair a beautiful shine.


For dark hair, use apple cider vinegar infused with some rosemary to give your hair a special sheen. Or use chamomile flowers instead, if you have blond hair :-)


Here's a very effective hair mask with apple cider vinegar - combine 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tbsp of honey and one quarter of a cup of water. This mixture should be rubbed into the hair, and left on the hair for 30 minutes before washing it off.


And, a hair mask for normal hair - grate 1 apple, and then add 1 egg yolk, and 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar. Apply the mask on your hair and leave on for 30 minutes. Then, rinse it off with warm water.




Apple Cider Vinegar for Weight Loss


It's quite well-known that apple cider vinegar helps in the fight against excess weight. It turns out that the pectin in it can help you to lose weight, by adjusting and speeding up the body's metabolism. It also improves bowel function. In addition, apple cider vinegar normalizes the sodium-potassium balance of the body, helping to reduce the appetite and ultimately causing you to lose weight.


If you want to use apple cider vinegar for dieting, drink it diluted in water, and drink it 30 minutes before meals. The proportions are; 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar in 1 cup of water. Honey can also be added for a more palatable taste (but not added if you want to lose weight.) This drink also quells the feeling of hunger, that ultimately will allow you to consume less food.


It's also recommended to add apple cider vinegar to various salads, and replacing common salt with it. An excess of salt is known to be harmful to the body and prevents weight loss.




Apple Cider Vinegar for Treating Cellulite and Stretch Marks


Apple cider vinegar helps get rid of cellulite, as well as minimizes the appearance of stretchmarks. The most popular ACV method for combating cellulite is using it in body wraps. To make a body wrap, mix the vinegar and water in equal parts, and then rub it on the problem areas. Then, wrap the areas in plastic wrap and a warm towel. An hour later, the plastic wrap should be removed, and the areas rinsed with water. Once you're dry, apply moisturizer.

Apple vinegar is also good for performing anti-cellulite massage. To help eliminate the cellulite, mix 3 parts apple cider vinegar with 1 part olive oil - or any oil that's suitable for massage. Lubricate the problem areas with this mixture, and then conduct a session of firm massage. This massage is recommended twice a day.


When you do the anti-cellulite massage, make sure to rub vigorously on the areas of cellulite. Such rubbing not only will help make the skin fresh and smooth (due to the acid content,) but will assist in reducing the appearance and volume of cellulite. In addition, apple cider vinegar is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent.


I also encourage you to rub ACV on any 'rogue' site - such as areas affected by stretch marks. And finally, if you add a couple of glasses of apple cider vinegar in the water before taking a bath, the skin after such a procedure will be clean, exfoliated, smooth and soft.




Apple Cider Vinegar for Bathing


Since ACV has such an excellent effect on the condition of the skin, you can have a bath with it! First fill the bathtub with water (at a temperature of about 37-40 degrees,) and then pour in 250 ml (1 cup) of apple cider vinegar. Take a bath for 15-30 minutes, so the skin can absorb a certain amount of acid-ulated water.


And, after swimming you can also rinse your skin with diluted apple cider vinegar to create an ideal PH balance of the skin. In addition, the appearance of pruritus suggests that the PH balance of the skin is too alkaline.




Apple Cider Vinegar for Varicose Veins


Apple cider vinegar works well against varicose veins, narrowing them, as well as for rectifying any heaviness in the legs. Moisten a cotton cloth with some apple cider vinegar, and then rub it gently over the protruding veins. You can also wrap your legs and feet in a towel soaked with vinegar, and keep it on for at least half an hour - while raising your legs as high as possible.


You can do this procedure in the morning and before bedtime. About a month later, you'll begin to notice a narrowing the veins! To enhance the effect, drink a solution of apple cider vinegar and water everyday for at least a month (2 tsp to a glass of water.)


If you want, you can add lemon or peppermint essential oil to the varicose vein solution. And, with a roll of gauze, wrap up the areas of cellulite. Reinforce with polyethylene wrap (or even cut up garbage bags,) and then lie down under a warm blanket for half an hour.



Apple Cider Vinegar for Softening the Feet - And Eliminating Fungus, Corns and Callouses


Rich in organic acids - such as malic, citric, glycolic and acetic acids, you can also rub apple cider vinegar on your feet to soften them (it's a very effective anti-fungal agent too.) To get rid of corns or callouses, you can make a pulp from bread soaked in ACV.


Leave the pulp sitting in a bowl for about an hour, and then apply it to the problem areas of you feet - covering it with a waterproof bandage and leaving on overnight. In the morning, the corn/s will be safely gone, and the callous areas can be easily removed.


Another way to soften the hard skin on the feet is to soak your feet for 10-15 minutes in a solution of 1 liter of warm water combined with half a cup apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of salt. The keratinized skin should then be rubbed with a pumice stone. This procedure should be carried out every week, until it the hard skin completely disappears.




Apple Cider Vinegar for Smooth, Relaxed and Sexy Legs


Apple vinegar is great for scaly or tired, heavy legs. Dissolve two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of cold water. Then rub this solution with a sponge all over your legs. You can also pour some of this solution in a bowl, and soak your feet in it for 5 minutes. After that, your legs and feet will feel as soft and smooth as a baby's!



Apple Cider Vinegar for Skin Care, and for Performing a Natural Skin Peel at Home

Due to the organic acids, APV is perfect for external use on the skin and restores the natural PH acid environment of the skin. It stimulates the blood circulation in the capillaries and kills fungus and bacteria. Not only that - the organic acids in apple cider vinegar smooths lines and wrinkles. It's wonderful at exfoliating the skin like a skin peel too!


In the undiluted form, apple cider vinegar is used to treat skin diseases, as well as being suitable for skin whitening. It's also an effective anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory agent.


**However, anyone with sensitive skin can experience irritation when using apple cider vinegar for skin care.


Here's a stimulating and nourishing face mask recipe for normal to dry skin - mix one egg with a teaspoon of honey, then add a quarter of a teaspoon of vinegar to it. Put the mixture over the skin of your face and neck, leaving it on for 20 minutes. Then, rinse your face and neck with warm water.


And, here's a great clarifying tonic for oily skin - to 100mls of water in a cup, add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. This solution is excellent for toning the skin, as well as for getting rid of pimples and acne.


Another option is to put a couple of drops of apple cider vinegar into individual ice molds. You can then use the ice in the morning to wipe over your face, and pores of the skin will be less noticeable too - due to the constricting effect of the ice.


A popular face mask for all skin types - beat 1 egg, and then add 1 tsp honey, and a quarter of a teaspoon of ACV. Apply as a mask to your face and neck. After 15-20 minutes, rinse the areas with warm water, and then gently blot the skin dry with a towel. This face mask significantly improves, and rejuvenates the complexion, as well as nourishes the skin.


Another rejuvenating mask for all skin types - grate 1 cucumber, and add three tablespoons of olive oil and 1 egg yolk. Stir, and then add 1 teaspoon of apple vinegar. Apply to your cleansed face, neck and even your hands. On the face and neck, leave on for 30 minutes. And, on the hands, leave on for only 10 minutes. Then, rinse the mask off with warm water.


And another - take 1 tbsp of sour cream, and then add 1 tsp of honey, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar. Mix all of the ingredients thoroughly, and apply to the face. Keep the mask on for about 15-20 minutes. Wash off with warm water.


A mask for oily/combination skin - take 4 tbs of apple cider vinegar, and mix it with 2 tsp of honey, and 2 tbsp of crushed oatmeal. Thoroughly clean the face, and then put on a mask and leave for 20-30 minutes. Then, wash off with warm water.


A good facial scrub - combine 1 tbsp of honey, 1 tsp of fine table salt, and 1 tbsp of apple vinegar. Massage the scrub in a circular motion over your cleansed face and neck. Leave for a few minutes, and then rinse off with warm water. This procedure will clear your dull, flaky skin particles, and stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells.




Apple Cider Vinegar for Smoothing Hands and Age Spots


With age, unsightly skin discolorations (such as 'age spots') slowly appear. So, any remedy that will help remove these discolorations is always popular. You can wipe the discolorations and age spots with apple cider vinegar every day, and soon you'll be able to observe noticeable results. Moreover, by using it on the hands, your hands will become much softer and softer.


Another way to fade age spots etc, is to wash the skin, and then place a warm compress of ACV on the skin for three to five minutes. When the time has elapsed, you can also take a cloth soaked in warm apple cider vinegar solution (a quarter of a cup apple cider vinegar to half a liter of water,) and apply it to your (clean) face.


Leave the cloth on your face for five minutes, and then rinse with warm water (without using any cleanser or soap.)


If you're prone to dry or cracked skin on your hands, wash your hands, and then rub some hand cream into your hands - mixed with an equal amount of apple cider vinegar.



Apple Cider Vinegar for An Inner Cleanse and Energy Boost


Doves, if you drink apple cider vinegar regularly, then after a couple of weeks you'll notice that you have more energy, you'll lose weight, and your skin will look better. It's not really that surprising though, because it improves the overall condition of the body! It's even a good remedy for insomnia and chronic fatigue. To enhance this effect, you can also use apple cider vinegar externally.


For insomnia or chronic fatigue, mix 1 cup of honey and 3 tsp of apple cider vinegar. Keep this mixture in a covered jar, near your bed. You can take 2 tsp of the this remedy, half an hour before bedtime. If this isn't enough, take another 2 tsp of the mixture, and if you wake up later at night - again.


One cup of apple cider vinegar, made from whole fresh apples, contain around 240 mg of potassium. Nutritionists and natural-paths often stress the importance of the ratio of sodium and potassium in the body for normal functioning of the nervous and muscular systems. Potassium also neutralizes the harmful effects of excess sodium in the body - and is able to restore normal blood pressure.


Potassium prevents the accumulation of fluid in the body too, which occurs as a result of excess sodium. In addition, it also helps to reduce hypertension. ACV also helps to prevent violations of energy. Traditional healers claim that high blood pressure, memory impairment, and even chronic fatigue can be treated with apple cider vinegar - because it contains a large amount of potassium.The


Apple vinegar is also necessary to normalize the digestive process. Natural malic acid is a kind of building material too, connecting the cells of the body with alkaline and mineral elements. It forms the energy stored in the form of glycogen. So, any of you doves who want to have ultimate feminine beauty and health - you can't do without ACV!


You can use apple cider vinegar in cooking and soaking food. You can also add it to a variety of sauces and dressings, for potatoes, vegetables, meat and fish.



Apple Cider Vinegar for Personal Hygiene


Frequent use of soap can alkalize the skin, and apple cider vinegar is a perfect alternative as a skin cleanser. Soap can be used, but it should be used as little as possible - and ideally, you should rinse the skin after washing with diluted apple cider vinegar - to balance the PH of the skin.


Moreover the organic acids in APV stimulate the flow of blood to the skin (pale skin is usually a sign of acid starvation.)


And, after a bath or shower, wipe some apple cider vinegar under your arms (though make sure that you don't have any cuts or scratches in your armpits or it will sting!) For ACV is a totally natural and inexpensive deodorant, and has no smell! Moreover, foot odor can be eliminated if you give your feet an apple cider vinegar foot bath. To do this, fill a large basin with warm water to the ankles - and pour 1 cup of apple cider vinegar.
