“Apple cider vinegar can also help regulate the pH levels in your skin, which keeps it at optimum levels between being oily and dry.” The right PH helps ensure that the outer layer of your skin, the acid mantle, is healthy. To do, wash your face, then gently pat a washcloth soaked in diluted ACV over your skin. It’s important to dilute the vinegar first, as it contains natural acids that may cause major irritation, even burns, if it is applied full strength to the skin, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

“Apple cider vinegar can be a natural and effective treatment for toe fungus,” Shapiro says. He advises treating toenail fungus at home with an apple cider vinegar footbath. “Since apple cider vinegar is acidic, it works to create an unfriendly environment for the fungus without being so strong as to damage the surrounding area of skin and nails,” he explains.
