Can I take a bath with vinegar?

There are now various kinds of Chinese medicine bags or toiletries for bathing on the market. Most of them have the effects of whitening and moisturizing the skin. So what kind of toiletries should we choose for bathing in order to have a better effect on the skin? Some people may think of vinegar. Vinegar can be used for foot soaking, so can it also be used for bathing? Next, let’s take a look at the question of whether you can take a bath with vinegar.

Smooth skin

Pour 230 grams of apple cider vinegar into a bathtub filled with warm water and soak in it for 15 minutes. Since the pH value of apple cider vinegar is similar to the protective acid pH of our human skin, taking a bath with apple cider vinegar can help restore the acid-base balance of the skin.

Firming water

Mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with two cups of water, soak a cotton ball in it, and rub it on your clean, dry face to help tighten your skin. Be careful not to rinse it off, the vinegar smell will disappear quickly. Apple cider vinegar's natural alpha hydroxy acids and acetic acid stimulate circulation and shrink pores.

Treating bruises

Soak a cotton ball in diluted apple cider vinegar and place it on the bruise, then secure it with a bandage and leave it on for an hour. If the bruise is particularly severe, apply arnica gel afterwards. The anti-inflammatory properties of apple cider vinegar can calm scrapes and bruises, while its acetic acid can speed up blood circulation and the wound healing process.

Soothes sunburned skin

Mix half a cup of apple cider vinegar with four cups of water, soak a washcloth in it, and apply it to your sunburned skin. Apple cider vinegar helps balance the skin's pH levels, promoting healing and preventing blistering.

Treating Insect Bites

Dilute the apple cider vinegar, soak a cotton ball in it, and pat it onto the bug bite. The acid in apple cider vinegar relieves itchy skin, its anti-inflammatory properties reduce swelling, and its acid-balancing properties help speed healing.

Shiny hair

Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with one cup of water and pour the mixture through your hair after washing it, then apply conditioner and rinse thoroughly. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar can remove the accumulated hair product residue from your hair, restoring your hair to its shiny and glossy state.

The above is a detailed introduction on whether vinegar can be used for bathing and how to choose the right toiletries for bathing. For those who are accustomed to taking a bath with some Chinese medicine bags, milk, salt, etc., you might as well try taking a bath with vinegar. But the number of times a week should not be too many. Generally, it is best to take a vinegar bath once a week.
