Research shows that apple cider vinegar can be a helpful supplement to diet, healthy eating, and regular exercise for weight loss.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Effects on Skin and Hair?
Austin dermatologists Adam Mamelak, MD, and Miriam Hanson, MD, recommend using apple cider vinegar as part of your skin and hair care regimen.
Dr. Mamelak explains that ACV “helps remove bacteria and excess oil from the skin that contribute to acne.” He explains that it can help smooth the skin, treat dandruff, yeast infections, insect bites, scrapes, abrasions, and warts.
Dr. Mamelak and Dr. Hanson caution caution; ACV is acidic and can cause skin and scalp irritation in some people. They also recommend that you test your reaction to ACV with a “patch test” on the skin on the inside of your arm. ACV should not be applied to sensitive genital skin as it may cause chemical burns.
