Vinegar is a Healthy Alternative to Expensive Beauty Products

Welcome to virtuowl.com1. Used as a hair rinse, vinegar neutralizes the alkali left by shampoos.

2. Spray your hands with vinegar, or dip them in vinegar and dry after washing dishes or having them in soapy water to keep your hands soft.

3. Use it diluted 50/50 as a skin cleanser as most soaps are alkaline as compared to skin ph.

4. Rinse water for face - pour 1/8 cup in rinse water, rinse face and let it air dry, it seals the moisture in the skin (great for all over especially when weather is dry)

5. Try white vinegar on underarms and other areas of the body as a natural deodorant. Will not stop perspiration (which is not healthy anyway) but will neutralize odor.

6. Makes a great eyeglass cleaner. Mix white vinegar 1/2 and 1/2 with water. I keep a tiny spray bottle in my purse.

7. Make your own toner using 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar. The acids in the vinegar force your old skin cells to flake off, much like the store-bought alpha hydroxy products. One caution: Also use a face lotion with at least SPF 15 everyday- even in winter (Oil of Olay knockoffs are fairly cheap)- because the mixture will make your skin thinner (just like the expensive store-bought ones will) and more susceptible to sun damage.

8. I color my own hair and when I rinse, I rinse with warm water then I dilute white vinegar with water for the final rinse, as cold as I can stand. This seals your color so it doesn't fade out as quickly.

9. Nail polish will go on smoother and stay longer if you clean your nails with white vinegar before applying it.

10. I work in perfumes and it is recommended to use vinegar to remove the odor of a perfume you don't like. Apply it to skin that has been sprayed with the undesired perfume.
