Apple Cider Vinegar Facial Toner
What isn’t apple cider vinegar good for? For real, this stuff is probably the answer to world hunger (or maybe this is, but I don’t pretend to know for sure). In the world of natural beauty sans toxic chemicals, apple cider vinegar makes an incredible facial toner.
Apple cider vinegar is naturally antiseptic and antibacterial, plus it helps balance the pH of your skin (which is actually supposed to be slightly acidic). I use this after I wash my face with honey. The smell is a bit potent at first, but don’t be dismayed! You won’t walk around smelling like a salad all day. The smell quickly dissipates. You can add different ingredients like brewed green tea or herbs to mask the smell, but it doesn’t really bother me. As easy as it is to make (which you’ll see below), I just don’t worry about anything extra.
Making Your Own ACV Toner
Step number one – acquire some apple cider vinegar. You want the good stuff. Trust me. Don’t skimp on whatever is cheapest at the store. You want raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar that is still full of enzymes, minerals, nutrients, and beneficial strains of bacteria (called the ‘mother’). My favorite by far is Bragg’s, but I also like Eden Organics.
Step number two – add your ACV to a small glass container mixed with filtered water. Start with a 1:1 ratio (50% ACV, 50% water), but you might find you need to dilute the mixture more based on the sensitivity of your skin.
Step number three – take a cotton pad or the corner of a washcloth and dip it into the solution. Spread evenly all over your face after washing it.
Don’t rinse it off, but just let it air dry, then finish with a light layer of coconut oil as moisturizer.
This toner is incredible for balancing your skin tone, getting rid of acne and pimples, and giving you that ‘glow’ – naturally! And did I mention how cheap this is?!
Have you ever used a natural toner like this one? If not, what are you waiting for?

I personally do this and it clears up my skin so fast! It truly is amazing what ACV can do! :)

Where would you recommend I but these ingedients?
Apr 11, 2013 @ 08:38:28
I just started using honey and lemon for my face and my butt to clear my skin. My butt has little dark spot that I’m trying to get rid off. What do Yall think or know about honey and lemon.. Can I also use the ACV on my butt? Really hate those spots. Thanks
May 11, 2012 @ 13:31:12
someone linked to this on FB and wanted to say THANKS for sharing the ACV love! I wash my hair with a dilution of baking soda, then wash with honey whilst that is sitting and getting hapy i nmy hair. I follow up with diluted (very diluted)acv and let it fall in my face while I’m at it. I love it. Love love love! Now, I’m using el cheapo acv on my hair (come to think if it, i’m using the nasty honey on my face. hmm), but that’s because it hurts to use the good stuff on my hair, and it smells so much stronger than the cheap stuff — but you’re convicting me!
Thanks for sharing!
May 16, 2012 @ 12:40:21
Hi Sally! I use ACV on my hair as a conditioner as well and I love it. If it were me, I would be ok with using the cheapo stuff on my hair, but I would stick with the good stuff for my face. Thanks for stopping by!
May 14, 2012 @ 13:36:31
I have not tried this yet, but I use ACV as a hair conditioning rinse and LOVE it so will be trying this tonight!
May 15, 2012 @ 16:34:27
This is great! Do you have any home made face wash and/or make up remover recipes?
May 16, 2012 @ 12:41:45
I do, in fact! I wash my face and remove my makeup at the same time with honey (http://www.laurelofleaves.com/2011/09/honey-face-mask-for-clear-glowing-skin/)
I also use coconut oil as an eye make-up remover (http://www.laurelofleaves.com/2012/03/the-best-natural-make-up-remover/)

Hi, I was just wondering if this’ll dry out my skin anymore… I have dry skin around my mouth/nose from prescription acne meds and though I’m looking for a toner to clean everything up, I don’t want to end up even dryer than I already am. Thanks! :)
Jul 11, 2012 @ 08:11:41
It does have the potential to slightly dry out your skin, but it’s balancing the pH of your skin at the same time (you want it to be slightly acidic). I would recommend just following up with a bit of coconut oil as a moisturizer after toning. I do it every day and I no longer have dry OR oily skin!
Jul 11, 2012 @ 06:18:26
How do we store this? do we have to keep in the fridge?
Jul 11, 2012 @ 08:10:31
I just keep mine on a shelf in my bathroom. Apple Cider Vinegar never needs to be refrigerated. :)

Any differences between x and y? …such as how raw honey is the choice of choices.

Another use…..there are many girls who suffer from yeast infections. Apple cider vinegar can help, if you make a mild was of 1/3 ACV and 2 parts of water (use filter or just boil it, but let it cool before using.) Also, instead of water, you can use chamomile or thyme tea. Just don’t douche, apply on the outer regions
Aug 06, 2012 @ 07:18:41
Great article. Simple to understand. Im a 73yr old senior and health coach. I’ve used acv on my face for many, many years and my skin is clear, tight and youthful.

Hi Lori!
Just wondering what you use on your hair, in terms of shampoo and conditioner ? Would love to know! Thanks
Aug 09, 2012 @ 08:49:22
Hi Julia! I’ve actually been experimenting with the “no ‘poo” protocol to see what works best for my hair. I used to use a variety of natural shampoo brands like Avalon Organics or Trader Joe’s Peppermint Tea Tree line. But even most natural store-bought shampoos and conditioners still have chemicals. Right now I’m using a baking soda and water solution for a ‘shampoo’ and apple cider vinegar as a conditioner. I’ll be posting more on this in the future!
Sep 13, 2012 @ 12:36:42
I also use a baking soda/water “shampoo” and ACV/water hair rinse. I’ve been using these treatments for about 3-4 months now, AND LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!! My hair is more healthy looking/feeling and my hair can go for days without washing……Yes. Days. And it still looks/smells clean!
Aug 07, 2012 @ 16:46:00
Hey, does coconut oil clog pores? I’ve read some conflicting information online about it lately. Do you have oily, acne prone skin? I’m wondering it the coconut oil would make it worse? The ACV sounds great though!
I found out recently that I have MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities) and have to be careful. I also have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I need to use things that don’t have SPF too because of the chemicals. I used some bug spray last year and ended up having to lie in bed for a week in more pain than usual! If you have any suggestions for skin products, household products etc. Even if it’s a website, book, homemade recipes, or even store products that would be helpful I’d appriciate. Thanks and can’t wait to hear from you!
Aug 09, 2012 @ 08:47:02
Hi Laura! I’ve never had an issue with coconut oil clogging my pores, and I’ve been using it on my skin for years now. I used to have very oily skin in the summer and very dry and flaky skin in the winter. But using coconut oil instead of other chemical moisturizers has balanced out my skin and I no longer deal with oily OR dry skin! I have also dealt with acne for sure. But washing my face with honey has made a world of difference! (http://www.laurelofleaves.com/2011/09/honey-face-mask-for-clear-glowing-skin/)
I’m all about using food on my face. I find even most ‘natural’ store-bought products still have chemicals. There are some good brands, though. J&M Botanicals products are very pure and high quality (jmbotanicals.com).
Best wishes to you on your journey! I’m always glad to connect with readers! :)

Hey, just wondering do acv remove dark spots from acne?
Aug 25, 2012 @ 14:39:39
coconut oil clogged my pores. it smells great, but i can’t use it where i am prone to acne. i use extra virgin olive oil instead.
my sister has the same thing that you do. she uses Moroccan argon oil on her skin and it helps her a lot. it breaks me out though, probably because it has pure sugar in it. pure sugar breaks my skin out also.
i have very sensitive skin, but you may want to try different oils to see what works.
best of luck!
Sep 04, 2012 @ 20:26:55
what do u use as a moisturizer
Sep 04, 2012 @ 20:28:30
Im asking because it seems that most oil break me out…coconut, jojoba, argan are the worst for my skin…but I have tried many other organic cold pressed oils and they just dont seem to work for me ;(
Jan 06, 2013 @ 12:51:07
i use extra virgin olive oil mixed with a very small amount of peppermint oil.
if not wanting to use an oil, i like the st. ives timeless skin collagen elastin moisturizer. i prefer to use oils though, but it has made my mom’s skin look younger and smoother!
Aug 19, 2012 @ 02:32:55
How often do i have to put it on my face?
Aug 31, 2012 @ 14:39:18
It’s totally up to you, but I would start with twice a day for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour each time. See how your skin responds and you can adjust the frequency from there.
Aug 23, 2012 @ 09:37:26
The coconut oil you use on your face after applying ACV, do you use the oil right out of the jar? Or do you make it into some type of moisturizer?
Aug 31, 2012 @ 14:38:30
I use mine straight out of the jar! :)
Aug 25, 2012 @ 14:36:06
when i began using this, it worked so incredibly well, but after a few months, i began to notice that my skin has not been healing or clearing up as fast as it had when i first began. i tried to stop using it, but my face broke out. i stopped again recently and nothing has changed, so i think i will be fine without using it now. i also recently noticed that my face has began looking more aged than it should.
i’m only 20 and don’t do anything harsh to my body that would be causing me to age (smoking, drinking, the like). is it possible that apple cider vinegar is too harsh for my skin type (sensitive) and is beginning to age me?
and just to note: i had some aging after using Proactiv for about a month and half. when i stopped using it, my skin returned mostly to normal, but i had still aged slightly. my skin doesn’t look as old as it did when i was on Proactiv. my skin is naturally over oily and currently is extremely dry. maybe the acv is over drying my skin or something? my family says that my face just doesn’t look as “fresh” as it had the past year.
Aug 31, 2012 @ 14:26:11
Hi Tina! There are a host of different things to consider when your goal is clear skin. What works for one person may or may not work for another. But you also have to look at your diet, emotional stress levels, exercise (or lack thereof), good sun exposure, and any other chemical products you might be using on your skin. I would take a look at these posts and try some of the tips mentioned there:

Which brand of honey do u use?
Aug 31, 2012 @ 14:27:37
The brand doesn’t matter as much as the quality. The best would be local, raw honey with all the enzymes still in tact. If you live near a Trader Joe’s, they sell a couple different brands of raw honey. Or check your local farmer’s market!
Aug 31, 2012 @ 12:00:06
I’ve tried using Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar as both an internal daily supplement with a lemon and water, as well as a diluted toner. For some reason, every time I try either application, I end up breaking out really bad. I’ve read about other people having a similar reaction and advising waiting it out a few weeks to a month. Unfortunately, things did not get better after that time. What do you think that means? Any advice?
Aug 31, 2012 @ 14:29:52
Honestly, there are about a gajillion different factors to consider when it comes to clearing up your skin. It could mean that you have even more detoxing to do and a good herbal cleanse, a change in your diet, and some good sun exposure might help. But again, what works for one person may or may not work for another. Here are a few more resources to help you find a good balance for your skin:

Just a note on where to get raw ACV cheap… Azure Standard has it for about $8/gallon. It is unfiltered, undiluted, with mother. A few months ago I got a gallon from Azure for about $15 but at that time they carried “Bragg’s” and I guess you pay more for their brand label. Now they have what looks to be the exact same thing but without the fancy name-brand label so you save even more.
Sep 17, 2012 @ 11:23:50
Is it okay that after I use the apple cider vinegar toner, without rinsing it, I’ll follow it up with a commercialized moisturizer like oil of Olay?
Sep 17, 2012 @ 16:53:05
I’ve been using this way of cleaning my skin for a long time and I love it. I use coconut oil
+ coffee grounds (from my morning coffee) as a daily scrub. I do not use anything else to wash my face and my skin looks and feels wonderful.
Sep 19, 2012 @ 09:43:22
What kind, type or brand of coconut oil do you use “right out of the jar”? I use food-grade coconut oil for cooking, but I’m not clear on what to actually use ON my face!
Sep 19, 2012 @ 11:07:34
I would only recommend using unrefined extra virgin coconut oil for anything – cooking or on your skin. :)

I have been spending all this money on these facial products but never showed results! I have given those products away and only use coconut oil and acv as a toner! Works wonders and leaves my face feeling so clean and clear! Absolutely love it and highly recommend it! Thanks for the tip

Dec 07, 2012 @ 01:24:21
the toner shouldn’t go bad (even if left unrefrigerated) because the acidity of the vinegar is enough to kill any bacteria that may get inside your bottle. That said, if it smells funny/different, throw it out.
Dec 02, 2012 @ 18:44:37
Sounds wonderful, my only concern is no one has mentioned outside of one older lady for use of acv toner long term use. I mean over year or so… After balancing the skin can we stop or use it several times a week or must it be used daily? I’m worried that our skin may become immune to it and stop working as effectively…something of concern from another post…but no one seems to mention the long-term affects of using it as a toner. I’ve tried washing the face with manuka honey but there has been no success at relieving the acne. The ACV toner does seem to bring the whiteheads to the surface and ingesting the ACV in a green tea has defineltly been great but I’d like to know about what happens when your skin has rebalanced itself. how do you know if your skin’s PH is rebalanced? Do you decrease the toner use or simply continue? If you stop does the acne come back? My understanding is Coconut oil works great but short term only so how do we make this work. Can you speak about long term use or anyone elses experience with long term use of daily acv toner? And or Coconut oil
Dec 07, 2012 @ 01:20:53
I made a mixture of ACV (organic unfiltered) and green tea (1/3 ACV and 2/3 GT) a few weeks ago, but it made my face REALLY REALLY red. I knew it would burn (as vinegar does) but it made my face look really really red and irritated. I mean, the last time my face looked that bad is when I used to use commercial facial cleansers in my teens. Now I use the oil cleansing method and a raw, organic honey mask (no soap, not even my homemade soap!). I assume my skin’s PH is well balanced as I don’t use anything that could up its PH (oil is slightly acidic like skin). If the whole point is to balance the PH of your skin after you clean it (assuming with soap or a commercial cleanser since they would bring your skin’s PH up), then is there a point to using it if you don’t use soap on your face? this is much like Natalie’s question (above).
I would also like to comment on the “coconut oil dilemma.” From what I’ve read (and I’ve read a lot) online is that it makes some people break out and it makes some people’s acne disappear. Coconut oil seems to be generally great for the rest of the body including hair. I would recommend each person tries it for themselves. if you don’t like it, stop using it. I use extra virgin olive oil and shea butter in the winter for the face as both of these oils are well known not to clog pores or cause acne.
Dec 10, 2012 @ 02:18:07
Something else to try. An alternative as a face wash is plain yoghurt. I just massage it into my face and wash off. Leaves skin feeling very soft. You can leave it on as a mask, while you are in the bath.
Dec 13, 2012 @ 17:01:49
Hi,
I am so glad I found this website, I am 24 and have been suffering with redness on my face, not really pimples, but redness on my cheeks my mom has it too roseacea I think, we are both into ACV, but to drink (btw no colds, no sickness nothing from either of us since) I never knew it could be used as a toner. I am so happy to find you can put honey on your face, my mom has two huge bottles of raw unfiltered honey she brought from puerto rico, when I say raw unfiltered its this beautiful dark honey. Smells wonderful as well. So excited as soon as I get off from work Im going to try it!!!
Im going to definitely try the honey, just to see if it helps with redness, I have a good diet, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats etc. I love finding new things to try.
THANKS

hi, i previously posted about acv aging my skin and since i’ve stopped using it, i’m looking younger again.
since my skin is somehow sensitive to acv, do you think it would just be better for me to drink apple cider vinegar in my daily tea or something?
thanks!
Dec 26, 2012 @ 15:03:34
Absolutely! It’s always good to listen to your body. And ACV has about a bajillion health benefits when taken internally as well. ;)
Dec 27, 2012 @ 15:21:49
I found that a travel size spray bottle is the best to apply, with eyes closed of course. I use it all day long and my face is spotless. It took only a week to see good results and 3 months for a near perfect complexion. I love this stuff!!!

Hi!
I tried this and it made my face very red for a period of 10 minutes. It wasn’t itchy or burning at all just really red. Is that an allergic reaction of some sort or is that supposed to happen?
Jan 22, 2013 @ 16:45:00
redness shows sensitivity. when i first began doing apple cider, i had diluted 2:1 (water:cider). it still made my face red at first. it only burns on open wounds and i have never had it itch ever! dilute it a bit more until you are used to it. then, you can dilute it a little less at a time to adjust slowly, but always dilute at least 1:1.
Jan 29, 2013 @ 14:53:43

Feb 09, 2013 @ 14:32:08
Hi there,
There is so much to take into account when it comes to your skin. Every person is different and our bodies are very holistic. What does your diet look like? Do you eat enough healthy fats? Have you cut out sugar and processed food from your diet? What about other chemical-filled skin care products? There’s a lot to consider and there is no magic ‘cure.’ But stay tuned for the ebook that I’m writing currently for more information and practical tips! ;)

hai, may i know where can i get the ACV toner and the coconut oil?
Feb 20, 2013 @ 02:12:02
Hello to all!
I would like to share a few recipes too.
for a face or a body scrub: take some white rice about 4-5 tbsp, 2 or 3 cloves, if you have the red lentils then add about 4 tbsp of that too. now soak these overnight in water. the next day remove all the water and make a paste of all the above soaked ingredients in ur blender.
when u add the rice to this scrub, it can be slightly strong so make sure to be gentle when scrubbing your skin with it. but am very sure you would love this.
to the above paste you can add raw milk or curd or plain water, two pinches of turmeric(antibacterial, gives sun protection, but do not use a lot as it can give a yellow tint to the skin which does come of after washing with soap), and honey, lemon juice… whatever you like. it works great. if used every day for a week or two you would see a huge difference in your skin. use it on ur face, neck both front and back and ur entire body. your skin would look clearer, bright and taut. in fact you will know right after the first application. it also takes care of blemishes or any pigmentation or blackheads.
you can also use it like a mask, let it dry then scrub off gently. if you have dry skin type, use some olive oil and massage on it once dry to remove it and then finally rinse with water.
to the above paste, you can also add curd, it works wonderfully on any skin type and especially on oily skin type.
if you think think that the granules of rice feel harsh in spite of soaking in water then either reduce its quality or skip it all together.
another simple face and body wash recipe: use gram flour mixed with either water,raw mild or curd as your face wash or body wash.
hope you like them. please let me know how it works for you. am hoping you will be happy with the results.
Feb 20, 2013 @ 02:19:41
forgot to add that you can use them morning and evening and then if u use coconut oil as a moisturizer it should not break you out. i have read a lot about this oil but could never muster the courage to use it on my skin as i have acne prone skin. i have tried the above mentioned skin care and it has worked very well on my skin.
Feb 21, 2013 @ 17:10:46
Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if you think I could replace coconut oil with something else as a moisturiser because I really cannot stand the smell of coconut. Thanks for your advices anyway. I’m just about to try the honey mask :) wish me luck! thanks

Lori,
I just found this and think it sounds worth a try! I was wondering, is there any other substitute for coconut oil as a moisturizer? Would any normal moisturizer, ie Clean and Clear, etc… work instead? Appreciate any feedback!!

I have a number of ugly scars on my arms and legs due to a bad reaction to medications during labor and delivery…would this acv toner work on my arms and legs? also what is the timeframe for seeing results?

An ACV toner works wonders. I used it (not this recipe, but a similar one) for about 3 months and had brilliant results. And then I got sick. First it was like a cold, but it progressed into pneumonia and I was getting sicker. Despite treatment, I wasn’t getting any better and my doctor couldn’t figure out why I had pneumonia. Finally, after I went on vacation and didn’t use my ACV toner for a few weeks, I began to feel better. I mentioned this to my doctor and he said that it was possible that the fumes from the ACV were damaging my lung tissue. :(
Like I said, it definitely worked, but at a price for me.

Hi, I find your site great and started using oil and honey. I started with sweet almond oil as eye makeup remover and moisturiser because I didn t have coconut oil to start with. Now that I use coconut as moisturiser, I find that it clogs my pores more than sweet almond. So Im back to the latter for my moisturiser, but honey as a face wash and makeup remofer is absolutely great !! Can t wait to try the acv !
Thanks for sharing all these great ideas !
