Vinegar is a Healthy Alternative to Expensive Beauty Products
-
- Used as a hair rinse, vinegar neutralizes the alkali left by shampoos.
- Spray your hands with vinegar, or dip them in vinegar and dry after washing dishes or having them in soapy water to keep your hands soft.
- Use it diluted 50/50 as a skin cleanser as most soaps are alkaline as compared to skin ph.
- Rinse water for face – pour 1/8 cup in rinse water, rinse face and let it air dry, it seals the moisture in the skin (great for all over especially when weather is dry)
- Try white vinegar on underarms and other areas of the body as a natural deodorant. Will not stop perspiration (which is not healthy anyway) but will neutralize odor.
- Makes a great eyeglass cleaner. Mix white vinegar 1/2 and 1/2 with water. I keep a tiny spray bottle in my purse
- Make your own toner using 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar. The acids in the vinegar force your old skin cells to flake off, much like the store-bought alpha hydroxy products. One caution: Also use a face lotion with at least SPF 15 everyday- even in winter (Oil of Olay knockoffs are fairly cheap)- because the mixture will make your skin thinner (just like the expensive store-bought ones will) and more susceptible to sun damage.
- I color my own hair and when I rinse, I rinse with warm water then I dilute white vinegar with water for the final rinse, as cold as I can stand. This seals your color so it doesn’t fade out as quickly.
- Nail polish will go on smoother and stay longer if you clean your nails with white vinegar before applying it.
- I work in perfumes and it is recommended to use vinegar to remove the odor of a perfume you don’t like. Apply it to skin that has been sprayed with the undesired perfume.
