How I Cleared My Skin in 5 Days With This $5 Product
No, this isn’t a joke.
So, what is it? — ACV, also known as apple cider vinegar, has been used as a home remedy to treat a range of things from a sore throat, dandruff, bloating—and has also been used to aid in weight loss.
In all honesty, I found this hack by accident. Every morning, I started putting a teaspoon of ACV in my water and drank it on an empty stomach to help with digestion. Low and behold, in 5 short days, my skin was clear of all its bumps and pimples!
Now you might be thinking: “I can’t take straight up ACV, it tastes like vinegar!”
If this is you, here are a few ways you can take ACV, without having to worry about its’ taste:
- Adding it into your morning tea made up of warm water, a teaspoon of ACV, lemon juice, and a squeeze of honey
- Adding it to your morning smoothie
- Incorporating it into your meals and/or salad dressings
It is important to note, however, that if you can muster up the strength to work your way up to ACV on an empty stomach first thing in the AM, without mixing it with other foods, you may notice a faster benefit.
What are some other fascinating benefits of ACV?
I’m glad you asked!
- ACV has the potential to kill harmful bacteria, here’s how:
The process of creating ACV involves fermentation, which then includes all the beneficial bacteria, enzymes and proteins necessary to provide a perfect environment for your gut. Having a healthy gut could also aid in clearing your skin. Double the benefit!
2. ACV may be helpful in balancing your blood sugar;
Studies have shown that taking ACV with a high carb meal can lower your blood sugar levels and may improve insulin sensitivity. This is done as it slows your digestion down which helps reduce spikes in your blood sugar.
3. ACV may aid in weight loss;
Studies have shown that the vinegar component of ACV can increase fullness, especially after a high carb meal, which can aid in weight loss. Since taking ACV aids in digestion by slowing the process down, this will also help you to feel more full after each meal.
So, if you’ve found that all the mainstream skin care hacks have not worked for you, and especially if you want to find something that will not only help your skin, but other aspects of your health, why not give it a shot!
Linked here is my favourite ACV brand (anything that is unpasteurized, and includes “mother” (the proteins, good bacteria and enzymes mentioned earlier, will reap the most benefits)), but whatever you can get your hands on will do.
