This mask is a great way to balance the natural acids found on your face. The best part about this recipe is that you probably already have these ingredients in your kitchen. There are various reasons why you should always keep a bottle of apple cider vinegar handy, but this DIY face mask recipe might just be the best one yet.
Benefits of apple cider vinegar to your skin
You all know the saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." It's no secret that apples contain amazing benefits for body but they are also great for your skin too.
This crisp fruit is high in antioxidants, fibre, helps with digestion, keeps your heart and brain healthy, and is packed with vitamin A to prevent aging and boost collagen. Why not apply these great ingredients straight to your skin?
Apple cider vinegar has powerful antimicrobial properties that can help to improve skin infections and soothe irritation. Apple cider vinegar is also a mild acid and therefore may help to restore the natural pH balance of the skin. This helps your skin keep moisture in and irritants out.
Benefits of bicarbonate of soda to the skin
Bicarbonate of soda is a natural antiseptic with antimicrobial properties. It is also slightly abrasive so has an exfoliating effect so will help to remove dead skin cells leaving your skin brighter. Some people say that it helps with pigmentation and dark spots / age spots on the skin. It shouldn't be used on the skin for long periods of time or on a daily basis otherwise skin irritation can occur. Once or twice a week for 10 minutes or so is great.
Benefits of date syrup for the skin
You wouldn't think it but date syrup has a number of skin benefits. Dates are an great source of vitamin C and D, helping to keep your skin smooth and elastic. They also have anti-ageing properties and prevent the accumulation of melanin. I'll have some of all of that please!
What you will need
All you need to prepare this beauty product are three simple ingredients...
- Apple cider vinegar (preferably organic with the mother included)
- raw honey
- baking soda
For exact quantities see the recipe card below...
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix until they turn into a smooth paste. The mixture might fizz a little. For best results use immediately.
How to use this apple cider vinegar face mask
Clean and dry your face and then apply a thin layer of the mask to clean skin, using your fingers (clean hands), a face mask brush, or a cotton ball or cotton pad, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10-15 minutes then wash off with a warm water and a soft cloth. The best way to continue your skincare routine is with a deep conditioning moisturiser followed by a facial oil. You will want to opt for a natural oil such as rose hip seed rather than the comedogenic oils like coconut oil and olive oil.

FAQ's
How long does this face mask keep for?
You will want to use this mask immediately. I have given the measurements for enough mask for one person, just multiply this to make extra for others - as long as they are using it immediately too.
What type of skin is this suitable for?
This mask is best suited to people with excess oil and oily skin. Make sure to test it on your skin in another area before putting it on your face. Don't use if you have a sensitive skin type. Be careful if you have dry skin as the bicarbonate of soda could make this worse.
What should I do if I react to this face mask?
Wash off immediately with cool water and discard the mask. Any reaction should go down quickly but if not seek immediate medical advice.
