10 Easy Beauty and Health Hacks Using Apple Cider Vinegar

1. Facial toner

Firstly, Greta suggests using apple cider vinegar as a facial toner to balance the skin's pH level and gently exfoliate.

She advises mixing equal parts vinegar and distilled water in a spray bottle and applying it directly to the skin, using a cotton swab for acne treatment.

For more concentrated acne spots or scars, she recommends a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water.

2. Hair rinse

Next, Greta explains that apple cider vinegar can be used as a hair rinse.

By adding three tablespoons of vinegar to warm water, it helps moisturize, remove product residue, and balance the hair's pH level.

Following shampooing, she advises rinsing the hair with the vinegar mixture, leaving it in, and using a reduced amount of conditioner.

3. Dandruff treatment

She further suggests using apple cider vinegar to treat dandruff and soothe an itchy scalp.

By spraying a mixture of vinegar and water directly onto the scalp and massaging it in, the vinegar's antimicrobial properties can combat bacteria and fungus.

This treatment is recommended several times a week for optimal results.

4. Sunburn treatment

Greta also mentions using apple cider vinegar to soothe sunburned skin.

For small areas, a mixture of vinegar and water can be applied with a cloth, while for larger areas, adding vinegar to a bath can provide relief.

5. Anti-bacterial treatment

In addition, apple cider vinegar can be used as a soak to fight infection.

6. Nail soak

Greta recommends mixing 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a warm bowl of water to create a nail soak for strong, long nails.

7. Foot soak

The video continues with recommendations for a foot soak to combat foot odor and address cracked heels or fungal infections.

Greta advises soaking feet in a mixture of warm water and vinegar for ten minutes.

8. Underarm deoderant

Greta explains that an equal mixture of water and apple cider vinegar can serve as a natural underarm deodorant.

9. Sore throat remedy

Greta suggests using apple cider vinegar as a remedy for a sore throat. In this case, Greta advises mixing one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and one teaspoon of sea salt in a glass of warm water.

The mixture should be gargled and then spit out until all the water is used up. Apple cider vinegar's antibacterial properties help to alleviate and heal a sore throat by eliminating persistent bacteria.

Additionally, it helps to loosen phlegm that may be causing irritation.

10. Makeup brush cleaner

Another application Greta recommends is using apple cider vinegar to clean makeup brushes due to its antibacterial properties.

To create a cleaning solution, she instructs viewers to prepare two small bowls.

The brushes should be left to soak in the mixture for approximately half an hour to an hour. Afterward, they should be thoroughly rinsed in clean water.
