Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) has long been celebrated as a natural health and beauty elixir. Rich in acetic acid, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, this fermented liquid is known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and pH-balancing properties. When it comes to skin, ACV helps combat acne, unclog pores, soothe irritation, and restore natural radiance. For hair, it works as a gentle cleanser, removes product buildup, fights dandruff, reduces frizz, and adds shine. Its versatility makes it a must-have in DIY beauty care, offering a chemical-free alternative to many commercial skincare and haircare products.
