HEALTH AND BEAUTY Vini‑Series- Part 2

Part 2. Beauty is Vin Deep


Here we go. Beauty is only "Vin" deep. Get it... like skin deep?? Only with
vinegar! If you haven't noticed I am spell bound by the miracle of vinegar.
Here are some helpful hints to stay looking fresh and feeling fabulous.


*disclaimer: I have researched uses of vinegar as well as testing some of
the theories. Remember: just because something works for me or a friend
doesn't mean its going to work for you. Just use your head folks*


Beauty can be described in many ways, but in order to look great on the
outside we must feel great on the inside. Staying pretty means staying
healthy and Apple Cider Vinegar (AVC) can do both.

Yes it can taste really horribly disgustingly awful, but no pain NO GAIN!


Just a spoon full of sugar, oh, I mean, vinegar helps the medicine go down!
AVC can help with acne, allergies, the flu, sore throat, allergies,
cholesterol, blood pressure, acid reflux, and food poisoning. In
researching, I've concluded it is a good idea to buy organic AVC, and you
can get it for about $4.

Lets get started with the skin. With all the age defying, wrinkle reduction,
skin firming products, could a solution to better skin be as simple as
vinegar? Yep.
AVC can make your skin feel softer and smoother thanks to the alpha‑hydroxy
acids. Those acids help dissolve fatty substances in the skin.

It can reduce the swelling of varicose veins as it promotes blood
circulation. If you want to reduce em, AVC can help. Dab AVC on a cotton
ball and then gently apply it on the skin. You can also apply the vinegar
directly with your hands. Downing a tablespoon of vinegar daily also can't
hurt.

Use AVC to lightnen age spots . Make sure to cut the vinegar with water !!
Vinegar is ACID and you must dilute it if you are using it on your face. OW!
Vinegar clears the skin by removing all that fun dirt and oily buildup. To
lighten age spots dab vinegar directly on the spot. Leave on over night.

You can also use it as a toner. Why? AVC can help strengthen your skin and
help kick bacteria where it hurts.

Ok you've got the skin under control... now what about that hair?

The acid in vinegar can wash away soapy‑shampooy residue in your hair,
making it a nice rinse product. Dilute AVC then wash away. Doing this can
help make your hair softer and shinier.
Vinegar can also beat off dandruff. Try it out. Dilute first.


Last but not least‑ I have NOT tried this one, but I figured someone has,
let me know if you do!

Massaging your scalp with apple cider vinegar can stimulate hair growth and
thicken your thinning hair.


Now for the Random Beauty helpers:

Pretty nail polish will last longer when you wipe some white distilled
vinegar on your nails before painting.

White distilled vinegar can serve as an aftershave lotion if store bought
aftershave leaves a rash or itchy skin.

Body freckles (not facial freckles) can be lightened by rubbing
full‑strength vinegar on the freckle.

Say bye bye to bad breath an yellowish teeth. Dunk your toothbrush in some
vinegar and brush your pearly whites once or twice a week to get a refreshed
clean smile.

Stinky toes? Vinegar can help de‑funk your feet! Vinegar is a neutralizer
and can help eliminate that odor. Scrub your piggies well, then soak those
pups in cider vinegar for about 10 minutes and enjoy smoother, better
smelling tootsies.

Hairbrush nasty? Well clean it! Soak your brush in vinegar water solution
for a cleaner look.

During the summer you probably have more problems with sunburns and
bugbites, but they can happen year round. To soothe a sunburn or keep a bit
from itching, spray a mist of vinegar on your ailing area to ease the pain.
Dab a bug bite with clothe or cotton ball soaked in vinegar an say goodbye
to itchin and scratchin!


Have fun staying beautiful!
