You likely associate apple cider vinegar with the kitchen, but this natural wonder also deserves a spot on your vanity. From a banishing breakouts to treating dandruff, here's why ACV should be part of your beauty routine.

Skin in need of a serious pore-purging? For a DIY acne remedy, combine equal parts apple cider vinegar and bentonite clay. You can use this as a face mask or a spot treatment! "ACV is a natural astringent, so it balances out sebum levels, making it particularly well suited for oily and acne-prone complexions," says Tara Mackey, author of Cured by Nature and founder of The Organic Life. And bentonite clay draws out toxins and impurities. Don't miss these blemish-busting face masks.

Apple cider vinegar contains antimicrobial components, which act as a natural cleanser for the skin, while its alpha hydroxy acids and acetic acid gently dissolve dead skin and stimulate circulation, leaving your complexion looking brighter and tighter. "After rinsing my face with water, I like to soak a cotton ball with ACV and gently wipe my face in circles to wash away impurities," says Jacqueline Schaffer, MD, wellness expert, founder of Schique Skincare, and author of Irresistible You.


Beyond banishing bad breath, apple cider vinegar can also help remove stains and whiten teeth. That said, because it's acidic, it needs to be properly diluted and used sparingly—otherwise you run the risk of damaging enamel. The proper proportions: one part apple cider vinegar to two parts water. Gargle for about 60 seconds; rinse your mouth thoroughly with water, and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing your teeth. Discover the seven foods that whiten your teeth (and four to avoid).

Who doesn't love a relaxing soak before bed? Boost the beauty benefits of your bath by pouring in some apple cider vinegar. It contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, and C to nourish and soften skin. These are the reasons you should start taking apple cider vinegar baths.

The human body—including the scalp—has a natural pH of between 4.5 and 5.5, which is fairly acidic. Conditions like dandruff, bacteria, and fungus occur when our scalp pH becomes too alkaline, explains Mackey. One way to fight flakes? Mix together equal parts apple cider vinegar and distilled water. Massage the solution into your scalp and rinse thoroughly. Repeat once or twice a week. ACV's antifungal abilities help fight dandruff, while its acidic properties restore natural pH levels.

Product buildup can weigh down hair, making it look dull and lackluster. Sure, you could use a store-bought clarifying shampoo, but why not try a DIY remedy? Mix two tablespoons apple cider vinegar with one cup distilled water. After shampooing, pour the solution over strands. Rinse thoroughly, and follow with conditioner on the ends only. According to Jaya Jaya Myra, a natural health expert and author of Vibrational Healing, the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar strips away residue and restores shine. PS. Jessica Alba swears by this weekly treatment.

Apple cider vinegar can deliver much needed relief for sun-ravaged skin. Not only is it a powerful anti-inflammatory, but it also contains potassium, which helps speed up recovery. Combine one half-cup apple cider vinegar and four cups distilled water; soak a washcloth in the mixture and apply to the affected area to reduce redness and swelling and prevent blisters and peeling. If you're sunburnt all over, consider an ACV-spiked bath. Also, try these at-home sunburn remedies

According to Mackey, a weekly apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil soak can help strengthen weak, brittle nails. Added bonus: ACV also helps remove yellow stains and prevent against infection. Read up on the everyday habits you didn't know were ruining your nails.


Many chronic, inflammatory skin conditions—such eczema and psoriasis—occur when the skin barrier is compromised. Next time you experience a flare up, Earth Clinic suggests filling a spray bottle with equal parts ACV and distilled water, and misting skin twice a day. Its anti-inflammatory properties of ACV will help soothe itch and irritation. Be sure to follow with lotion to lock in moisture. Try these other home remedies for eczema and psoriasis relief.

Soak brushes for one minute in a 1:1 ratio of ACV to distilled water; then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Read up on the eight rules for having sanitary makeup and beauty tools

Try as we may, sometimes we can't avoid razor burn. Next time you find yourself with those pesky bumps and red rashes, skip the pricey store-bought formulas and reach for this affordable solution instead: Saturate a cotton ball with apple cider vinegar and pat it over the affected area.

Anti-Aging Home Remedies for Your Skin
Whether they erase lines and wrinkles or conceal age spots, all anti-aging home remedies share one ultimate goal: to make you look younger. Your skin is your body’s largest organ and is one of the first parts of your body to give way to the natural aging process. Unfortunately, your skin also happens to be the first thing people see when they look at you.

Many people find that their skin becomes more sensitive as they get older, making it especially vulnerable to the harsh chemicals and preservatives that are added to many skin care products. That’s why anti-aging home remedies are so useful—they’re completely natural, so you know exactly what you’re putting on your skin, and they can still be just as effective as commercial anti-aging skin care products.

Here are three easy anti-aging home remedies for your skin.

• Yogurt Facial: Plain yogurt is a popular ingredient for anti-aging home remedies for the skin because it’s high in lactic acid, a form of alpha hydroxy acid that tightens pores and helps your skin cells regenerate. Studies have shown that when used in anti-aging home remedies, lactic acid can encourage the production of collagen and elastin, which are the two building blocks of wrinkle-free skin. Yogurt also contains zinc and vitamins A and C, whose antioxidant properties protect your skin against the free radical damage that causes wrinkles.

There are a few different anti-aging home remedies that include yogurt, but it works just as well on its own—just apply it on your face, leave it for 20 minutes, and then rinse it off with cool water. For extra exfoliation in your yogurt-based anti-aging home remedies, add oats; for extra moisturizing, add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil; and to help brighten skin, add a few drops of lemon juice.

• Apple Cider Vinegar Toner: There are plenty of ingredients that double as anti-aging home remedies for facial toners to help improve the look of skin that has lost elasticity over the years. One popular item is apple cider vinegar. Because of its acidity, apple cider vinegar works as a natural astringent in anti-aging home remedies and renews your skin’s natural pH balance so that it isn’t too oily or too dry. Fill a small spray bottle with one part apple cider vinegar to two parts water. If you’re going to be using apple cider vinegar in any of your anti-aging home remedies, look for the kind that still contains the “mother”—this is a beneficial ball of enzymes, bacteria, and nutrients that you’ll see floating in the bottle.

•  Coconut and Lemon Scrub: Anti-aging home remedies that focus on exfoliating are important for your skin as you get older, because they increase blood circulation and get rid of the dirt and dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. Exfoliating also improves the function of your other skin care products—if you apply them after exfoliating, they’ll penetrate your skin better. Here’s one of the easiest anti-aging home remedies for a scrub: combine a half-cup of coconut oil (you can substitute with grapeseed, almond, or olive oil), two tablespoons of granulated sugar, and one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Massage the mixture into your skin using small circular motions. Then wipe it off with a damp washcloth and rinse your face with cold water. Anti-aging home remedies like this one will leave your skin looking fresh, rejuvenated, and instantly younger.

Anti-Aging Home Remedies for Your Hair

As you get older, your hair will start to slowly change, too, and it isn’t just a matter of seeing gray strands. Do you notice your hair feeling thinner and drier, or more brittle and prone to breakage? These are all signs of aging hair. While certain products and styling tools will only exacerbate the problem, anti-aging home remedies can work wonders to strengthen strands and restore a more youthful look and texture.

Here are three anti-aging home remedies to infuse aging hair with renewed shine, body, and strength.

• Avocado and Honey Mask for Dry Hair: Avocados aren’t just for guacamole; they’re perfect for anti-aging home remedies too, because they work as a deep conditioner, thanks to their high protein, natural oils, and vitamins A and B. Honey is a humectant, which means it naturally attracts moisture and locks it in, which is what dry hair needs. Mix a half-cup of honey with two tablespoons of mashed avocado. You can also add a bit of extra virgin olive oil to anti-aging home remedies with honey to reduce some of its stickiness. Apply the avocado-honey mixture to clean, damp hair and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing it out.

• Beer Rinse for Limp Hair: You probably wouldn’t think of beer as an ingredient in anti-aging home remedies for your hair, but it works well to add body, fullness, and even shine to limp hair because of all the yeast in it. The trick to using beer in anti-aging home remedies for your hair is to make sure it’s flat first. One option is to use it as a leave-in conditioner by pouring it into a spray bottle and spritzing it on clean, towel-dried hair before styling. Alternatively, add a teaspoon of sunflower oil and one raw egg to a half-cup of flat beer. Lather it on to damp hair, leave it in for about 15 minutes, and then rinse it out with cool water.

• Raw Egg Treatment for Breaking Hair: Just like your body needs protein for strength, so does your hair, which is why you might see a lot of anti-aging home remedies that use eggs. The yolk is rich in fat and protein, while the egg white contains enzymes that help get rid of unwanted oils on your scalp. This is one of the easiest anti-aging home remedies. Simply beat an egg (use two if you have long hair) and apply it all over wet, shampooed hair. Rinse it off with cold water after 15 minutes.

Believe it or not, the visible part of your nails is dead tissue. This explains why it doesn’t hurt when you trim your nails. Strong and shiny nails are signs of a great beauty regime. But we forget the fact that a great diet plan is required for healthy nails. Food contains a lot of beauty nutrients, which greatly affect how your nails look.

Nails are the last parts of the body to receive nutrients, so if you have a poor diet, you’ll need to take special care of them or they could become weak and brittle. Eating the right foods can make your nails stronger and healthier naturally.

Here are the top 10 superfoods for healthy nails.

1. Beans

Different types of beans are good sources of biotin, a kind of B vitamin that prevents nail breakage and is essential for overall nail health. Even a mild deficiency of biotin can cause dryness of the nails and slow down nail growth. It can also cause the nails to become dark.

Types of beans that you can eat regularly for healthy nails are green beans, kidney beans, white beans, pinto and navy beans. You can eat these beans baked, boiled, or as part of a salad or soup.

2. Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds contain zinc, a nutrient that helps the immune system function properly and plays an important role in forming connective tissues. Zinc also regulates the body’s ability to make new proteins that ultimately become building blocks of healthy nails.

Zinc deficiency can cause white areas on the nails, similar to the marks that occur when you put pressure on the nails. Try to eat a few pumpkin seeds daily to enjoy healthy and strong nails.

3. Broccoli

Broccoli gives your body much needed iron, another essential component for healthy nails. Iron is a fortifying trace element that enriches red blood cells and increases the oxygen level of tissue, especially in nails that break easily and are pale in color. A lack of iron can cause nails to grow with ridges rather than a smooth surface. You can eat broccoli either raw or cooked.

4. Milk

The high calcium content in milk strengthens nails and makes them grow faster. Try to drink at least one glass of milk daily. It has been found that lack of calcium in the body can cause the nails to be brittle and dry. To allow the body to fully absorb the calcium, have your milk with foods rich in vitamin D such as eggs, mushrooms and others.

5. Eggs

It is well known that protein-based foods are highly essential for overall nail health. This is because nails are made of keratin, a type of protein, and you provide the body with building blocks for growing strong and healthy nails by eating protein-based foods. For example, eggs are high in protein. Have two servings of eggs daily for healthy nails. You can eat them boiled, poached or in any other form.

6. Carrots

Consuming carrots regularly can improve the appearance of your nails, as well as skin and hair. The high vitamin A content in carrots prevents nails from becoming dull and dry.

You can eat either raw or cooked carrots or simply drink one glass of carrot juice daily to help your nails become strong and healthy. In addition, carrots contribute to better eye health and immune system functioning, which keeps you vital and strong from head to toe.

7. Tomatoes

Tomatoes contain high amounts of biotin and lycopene, which can help your nails grow and thicken naturally for a healthy, shiny look. They are also full of vitamin A and contain even more vitamin C than an orange! Eat tomatoes raw if you can, as cooking them can destroy the vitamin C. Not only will tomatoes ensure you have strong nails, but an added bonus is they are great for skin health too.

With tomatoes, you can also make a fantastic nail soak to help your nails grow longer faster. Mix a bit of tomato juice and some rosemary essential oil. Soak your nails in this solution for five to 10 minutes. It will moisturize and enhance the natural color of your nails.

8. Bananas

Bananas are packed full of potassium that boosts your energy level. Bananas are also loaded with mineral silica, which is thought to improve the look of your nails, and zinc, which will strengthen your nails. This fruit also contains B6, a vitamin well known for supporting healthy nails.

You can enjoy the health benefits of bananas by adding a banana to your morning cereal or oatmeal. You can also eat a banana as a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack.

9. Water

Dehydration has a huge impact on the overall health of your nails, just as it does on the rest of your body. Dehydration can cause cuticles and weak nails. To prevent dehydration, you need to drink eight to 10 glasses of water a day.

Also try to eat more fruits and vegetables that are high in water content. Avoid drinking tea, coffee, alcohol and carbonated drinks as they can cause more dehydration.

10. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes can help boost immunity and promote stronger and healthy looking nails and skin. Sweet potatoes are packed full of the antioxidant beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for cell growth, which supports nail health. A lack of this vitamin can cause dry and brittle nails. You can enjoy sweet potatoes steamed, baked, sautéed, or roasted.

By including these superfoods in your diet plan, you can enjoy healthy and strong nails. Along with eating these superfoods, you also need to properly care for and maintain your nails.

1. Olive Oil

Olive oil is a great massage oil for your skin. It is a good source of antioxidants, like vitamins A and E, which fight skin-damaging free radicals.

Regularly massaging olive oil onto the affected skin area will moisturize, repair and even regenerate skin cells. As the oil penetrates deep into the skin, it provides long-lasting protection and keeps it moisturized.
Another option is to mix a few drops of honey with a few drops of olive oil and glycerin. Massage the mixture into your skin twice daily. This will eliminate dead cells and help tighten sagged skin.
You can also massage your skin with coconut oil, emu oil, almond oil or vitamin E oil to prevent and reduce wrinkles.

2. Fenugreek

Fenugreek leaves, seeds and even oil work as an antidote for different skin problems, including wrinkles. The leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals that are easily absorbed by the body and help treat wrinkles and fine lines when this remedy is used regularly.

Grind a handful of fresh fenugreek leaves to make a thick paste. Apply the paste on your face and leave it on overnight. In the morning, wash it off with lukewarm water.
You can also wash your face with water boiled with fenugreek seeds or apply fenugreek oil on your wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Aloe Vera

The aloe vera plant contains malic acid that helps reduce wrinkles by improving the elasticity of your skin.

Simply cut an aloe vera leaf from the plant and extract its gel. Apply the fresh gel onto your skin and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water.
Another option is to mix one teaspoon of aloe vera gel with the contents of a vitamin E capsule. Apply the mixture to areas where wrinkles are forming. Leave it on half an hour and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
4. Ginger

Ginger works as an excellent anti-wrinkle remedy due to its high antioxidant content. Moreover, it helps inhibit the breakdown of elastin, one of the main causes of wrinkles and fine lines.

Mix a pinch of grated ginger with a tablespoon of honey. Eat this mixture every morning.
You can also drink ginger tea twice daily.
5. Bananas

Bananas are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that combat the causes of wrinkles and fine lines. Using this remedy twice per week will rejuvenate your skin and treat wrinkles in a natural manner.

Mash two ripe bananas into a thick paste. Apply the paste on the wrinkled areas. Leave it on for at least a half an hour and then wash it off with lukewarm water. Follow it with some skin moisturizer.
Alternatively, you can use a mixture of one mashed banana and avocado, along with a little honey. Slather it on your skin, lave it on for 20 minutes and then wash it off.
6. Almonds

Almonds are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin E, iron, zinc, calcium, folic acid, and oleic acid, which combined can delay the aging process and treat wrinkles.

Soak some almonds in raw milk overnight. In the morning, remove the skin and grind the almonds into a thick paste. Apply the paste onto your skin, and even under your eyes to get rid of dark circles. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water. For best results, do this daily.
You can also massage almond oil into your skin to delay the effects of aging.

7. Carrots


Carrots have a high content of vitamin A, which promotes the production of collagen and helps keep the skin smooth.

Boil two or three large carrots in water until they become soft. Blend the carrots with some honey to get a paste. Apply it directly on the face. Leave it on for about a half an hour and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.
Another option is to a combination of equal parts of carrot juice and honey each morning and evening. You can leave it for about 10 minutes before washing it off.
Also, include raw carrots in your diet.

8. Lemon Juice

Lemon juice is rich in citric acid that acts as a strong exfoliant and helps get rid of dead skin cells. It also works as a deep cleansing agent and astringent that will help fade blemishes as well as wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging, like dark circles.

Gently rub a little bit of lemon juice into your facial skin. Leave it on for 5 or 10 minutes and then rinse your face with water. Do this two to three times a day.
Alternatively, you can mix one teaspoon each of  yogurt, honey and vitamin E oil and lemon juice. Spread it on your face and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes before washing it off.
Another option is to apply lemon juice mixed with amla powder (Indian gooseberry) onto your face to treat wrinkles and delay aging naturally.

9. Pineapple

Pineapples have enzymes that promote skin elasticity, moisturize the skin, and help eliminate dead skin cells as well. The fruit is also rich in antioxidants, fibers and vitamins that boost skin health.

Rub pineapple flesh on the affected skin area. Allow it to dry for 20 minutes, and then rinse with warm or cold water.
Apply the juice from a green pineapple onto the skin daily for five minutes before washing off. This is also a very good remedy for treating dark circles around the eyes.


10. Water

Drinking water is one of the easiest and most effective home remedies for treating wrinkles. Water keeps the body hydrated and maintains the moisture level in the skin. When the body is dehydrated, your skin will generally look older.

Be sure to drink pure, filtered water, as unfiltered water may have traces of chemicals that can damage your skin over time.

Drink at least two liters of filtered water daily. Have a glass in the morning to kick start your day and then keep a bottle of water beside you throughout the day. Avoid alcohol and carbonated drinks, though.

Aging is inevitable, but this does not mean that you cannot look younger than your age. There are many beauty secrets that can cut years off your appearance, particularly your face.

1. Follow a Good Skin Care Regimen

Irrespective of your age, you need to follow a good skin care regimen for healthy skin. When your skin is healthy, it will not show early signs of aging.

Cleanse your face daily with a gentle cleanser, both in the morning and at night. This will keep your skin clean, soft and free of pore-clogging debris. When buying a cleanser, avoid those with high alcohol content and other drying agents.
Apply a good quality moisturizer over your entire face, neck, hands and legs twice daily. This will help prevent dry and aging skin.
Exfoliate your skin once a week with a gentle facial scrub. This will encourage skin cell renewal, making your skin look younger. It will also help get rid of dead skin cells and keep your skin smooth, healthy, bright and fresh.
2. Choose Skin Care Products Wisely

Many people make the mistake of using the wrong type of skin care products. This can cause tingling, itching, dryness and irritation. It’s easy to rectify or avoid this mistake.

Determine your skin type by analyzing your T-zone area and then choose suitable products to keep it healthy and young. Also, avoid using too many cosmetic products at the same time.
When you are past your mid-20s, use products with retinol, peptides and antioxidants. Retinol promotes an increase of collagen and elastic production. Peptides can stimulate collagen production and cell repair to help you get younger-looking skin. Antioxidants will protect your skin from the sun and speed up the natural skin repair system.
If you have any doubts, you can always consult a dermatologist for help find the right products for your skin care needs.

3. Wear Sunscreen Everyday

Sunscreen is the ultimate anti-aging tool recommended by beauty experts. Be it summer, winter, autumn or rainy days, you must not leave your home without applying a good quality sunscreen on any exposed body parts.

Too much exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your skin, particularly its elastin, and cause a loss of collagen. This in turn can lead to sun spots, wrinkles, an uneven tone, dryness, rough skin and sunburn.

Apply an SPF 15 (or greater) sunscreen every day, even in the winter. For maximum anti-aging benefits, make sure to apply sunscreen on your ears, neck, legs and hands along with your face.

4. Get Your Beauty Sleep Daily

To stay looking young for years, get 7 to 8 hours of beauty sleep daily without fail. In fact, sleep is considered the most powerful rejuvenating treatment to maintain youthfulness.

When you sleep, adrenaline and corticosteroid levels drop and the body starts to produce growth hormone. During this time, the repair and growth process of cells occurs. If you don’t get enough sleep, this function is impaired and leads to inflammation that causes many signs of aging like wrinkles, dull complexion and fines lines.

A good night’s sleep also has many health benefits like better memory, mood, attention and concentration as well as a reduced risk of heart attack and stroke.

To improve your sleep, maintain a regular bedtime, avoid caffeinated beverages before bedtime, take a warm bath with a few drops of aromatherapy oil in the evening, and sleep on the right mattress and pillows.

5. Exercise Daily

Exercise is good for your body and mind. Regular exercise improves blood flow and keeps your skin healthy and vibrant. It also regulates your hormones and promotes proper sleep.

According to a study published in the journal Circulation, exercise has anti-inflammatory potential and decreases the risk of developing inflammatory diseases like heart disease and obesity.

Exercise also combats the loss of stamina, muscle strength, balance and bone density that increases with age.

Do some sort of physical activity for 20 to 30 minutes daily. Activities that can help slow down the aging process are running, walking, dancing, cycling, gardening and even housework. Aerobic exercise classes and yoga also help a lot.

6. Give Yourself a Break from Stress

Several studies have shown that stress causes physical changes in the body that can accelerate aging. When you are under stress, hormonal changes occur that can cause blood pressure to rise and the heart to beat faster.

Stress can even cause anxiety, depression, insomnia, weight gain, fatigue and many other conditions that will surely make you look older than your age.

First, you must try to control the level of stress in your life. If you are under stress, take steps to manage it with deep breathing, walking outside amid nature, practicing yoga, meditating or indulging in any other activity that can divert your thoughts from the stressful situation and help calm your mind.

If you have difficulty controlling or managing stress, consult a specialist or seek out a support group.

7. Eat Righta

Healthy skin starts with healthy eating, so you need to think seriously about what you are eating on a daily basis. To slow down the aging process, follow these key tips.

Include more antioxidant-rich foods in your diet. Antioxidants help increase cellular regeneration and protect collagen, thus keeping your skin firm and wrinkle-free.
Ensure adequate intake of essential fatty acids, such as those found in flaxseed and fatty fish. These healthy fats help your skin function properly and aid in tissue repair. Plus, they help reduce inflammation in the body and improve mental health.
Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and 3 servings of whole grains daily. This will provide protein, calcium, vitamin D, iron, zinc and other essential minerals that your body needs to function properly.
8. Stay Hydrated

Water is the foundation of young-looking skin, hence you need to drink an ample amount of water throughout the day. It helps keep your skin hydrated and moisturized, making it look younger and healthier.

Plus, water also will aid digestion, improve your energy and concentration, and flush toxins from your body.
When you don’t drink enough water, your skin can become dry, dull and dehydrated, leading to issues like fine lines and wrinkles, and chapped lips.

To stay hydrated, drink 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. Along with water, you can drink green tea, fruit juices and vegetables juices, or eat fruits and vegetables rich in water content.

9. Limit Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol is one drink that you must avoid or drink less as it accelerates the aging process and affects mineral absorption in the body.

Plus, it makes your liver work harder to eliminate harmful toxins, which in turn makes your skin look dry and lifeless. Alcohol may even increase your risk for non-melanoma skin cancer, cause flare-ups of rosacea and skin irritation.

For younger-looking skin, drink alcohol in moderation or, for maximum benefits, stop drinking entirely.

10. Stop Smoking


Smoking tarnishes your skin and makes you look older than your actual age. Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 harmful toxins.

Some of these toxins cause the blood vessels in the top layers of the skin to constrict, in turn reducing the amount of oxygen in the blood. Plus, smoking reduces the production of collagen.

All these factors can lead to dull skin, sagging skin, dark lips, wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, deep lines in the cheeks, dull hair and discolored nails.

Also, smoking as well as second-hand smoke has adverse effects on your overall health. It can cause respiratory problems, high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, earlier menopause, and lung and other types of cancer.

Considering the ill effects of smoking on your skin and general health, it is essential to quit smoking as soon as possible.
