Hey girls I've started using apple cider vinegar twice a day as a toner & I'm confused, I don't know whether I should keep using it or not... My skin feels dry & tight all the time, I got like 3 little whiteheads but I don't know if its purging or actually reacting bad to the toner?
Has anyone tried it? Does it get worse before it gets better? Also I don't have acne, it's just clogged pores or oil plugs I've been wanting to get rid of dice forever! Thanks I'm advance :)

Yeah I do that's why I don't know why my skin feels dry. I will definitely try it once a day & see how it works out thanks Jacqlyn! :) & thank you for suggesting the greens tea toner I might as well just treat my skin with that ill ask Kitty! :)

& sandy, lol I don't think I want to do that since it already feels tight when using more water than ACV... :)

I have very dry skin due to eczema and I use 50/50. I started using this 4 days ago and already its helping to calm down the eczema.

I use a very very heavy cream after this because I also find it is drying. I would recommend using a facial oil after this, because it will penetrate much deeper to moisturize from the inside out.

I also notice that I'm starting to get more whiteheads but that is because the sebum and dead skin cells are mixing which create white heads. ACV will stimulate the "turnover" of the skin cells, which means the reproduction of new skin cells and the removal of the old ones will generate a lot faster.

After this stage has passed, it won't be causing more breakouts but it'll be reducing them.

Also, what brand of ACV are you using? I found rhat Heinz didnt work as well and it was a little more drying than the brand I am using right now, which is Bragg organic/unfiltered ACV. The brand I'm using currently actually leaves my skin a bit moist after applying it and to keep my skin moist, I use grapeseed oil all over.

if you have oily skin, you can use coconut oil in the morning because it won't look shiny.
