My Skincare Regimen: How I got rid of my dark spots
Sooo... as the season started to change so did my skin. My skin has been reacting differently & I have been breaking out bad. I would get like 2-3 pimples a week & I started picking them *ughhh bad decision*. This caused dark marks & bad scarring on my face, it got so bad I looked like I can literally connect the dots on my face. I started reading health & beauty articles to see what can help & majority of them recommended Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with water mixture & to also drink more water as well as change your diet to more fruits & veggies. I started drinking water frequently atleast a half gallon a day, sometimes more & I also started eating veggies.. fresh spinach wraps w cheese, adding lots of spinach to my meals & making fruit smoothies with fresh fruit... I would do a combination of bananas, strawberries & mango with ice. I also made the mixture of Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with water, I used equal parts and put the mixture into a small travel sized spray bottle. I must warn you, this mixture smells horrible, it literally smells like dirty socks *no kidding*. Since the smell was so bad I would only spray it on my face at night after I wiped all my makeup off for the day with a makeup wipe. If this mixture is too strong for your face, you can always add more water. I wanted the full affect so instead of adding 1 part ACV to 2 parts water, I went ahead & added equal parts of both because I read you will get the best results if you used equal parts of both. I started everything on June 3rd: drinking more water, eating more fruits & veggies & the ACV/water spray. I would skip some nights of spraying the mixture on my face but mostly I'd use it about 2-3 nights a week, sometimes more if I actually remembered to do so. It is now July & I've seen changes in my face, not only is my face clearer, it is radiant & most of the scars/dark marks have faded & are almost gone. I also lost a few pounds being that I have changed my eating habits & have been drinking more water. Now as far as the mixture, I think that it is pretty amazing that in only a month I have these drastic results..Imagine if I had been using it every night =O I am going to continue to use it & I'm also going to try to use it more frequently! I will keep you guys updated! Disclaimer: This worked for me, I can't promise this will work for everyone, everyone is different. In addition to the ACV/water mixture, I also changed my eating habits & started to drink more water so I can only say that the combination of all is what helped improve my skin.
