This comes from someone who is obsessed with lemons. I love […]

The Truth About Apple Cider Vinegar For Acne: Does It Work & Should You Use It? https://www.beautifulwithbrains.com/apple-cider-vinegar-for-acne/ https://www.beautifulwithbrains.com/apple-cider-vinegar-for-acne/#comments Sun, 18 Dec 2022 13:15:00 +0000 https://www.beautifulwithbrains.com/?p=107998 Is apple cider vinegar good for acne? Yes. Should you use it? No. Newsflash: just because something works, it doesn’t mean you should use it. Baking soda can exfoliate skin… and leave it a red, flaky, irritated mess. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is the same. For one person who swears ACV cured her acne, there’s […]

Yes, I’ve tried it. I tried EVERYTHING. Heck, I’d have sold my kidney to get rid of my cellulite back in my teen years.
