Apple Cider Vinegar Toner Apple Cider Vinegar is a store-cupboard staple and in addition to being rich in enzymes and full of vitamins and minerals, it has a tonic action that promotes circulation in the tiny capillaries that nourish the skin. • Stir 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into 20ml of water and add up to 5 drops of an essential oil blend that suits your skin type. Apple cider vinegar is particularly effective when used with lavender, rose or rosemary essential oils. • Apply to your face after cleansing. • Keep refrigerated and use within four weeks.
