If you haven't yet be sure to check out my video on this tutorial any my other best tips on how to keep body acne at bay!
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar is chalk full of nutrients and properties that are amazing for your skin. It contains malic acid which is a natural antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral substance. This means it fights bacteria, preventing new blemishes to form. It also contains ash which helps maintain the pH level of our skin (super important for healthy skin!!) by balancing the production of sebum. Basically that means it keeps your skin from getting too oily or too dry - therefore preventing future breakouts. Apple cider vinegar also helps to draw out toxins and unclog your pores, preventing new blemishes to form. Now on top of keeping acne at bay it's also great for anti-aging as well. It contains alpha hydroxy acids which removes dead skin leaving your skin looking fresh and young. This will help to fade age spots and acne scarring too. It has also been known to lessen the apparence of fine lines and wrinkles. Can't go wrong with this stuff people!
Tea Tree Oil (optional):
Tea tree oil is great for your skin, especially acne-prone skin. It helps acne because it contains disinfecting and soothing properties. It works to disinfect the pores while also drying out whiteheads and blackheads. It penetrates the blockage between your skin and sebaceous glands. Make sure to dilute it properly or it could really dry out your skin. But a dash of this to my DIY toner is perfect to help clear up those stubborn spots!
I hope this helps you like it's helped me!! Back acne/body acne SUCKS. Don't forget to check out my video for more :)
