DIY Beauty: Apple Cider Vinegar for hair & acne

Sometime ago, Jyoan of Positively Nice mentioned in one of her comments that she’s been drinking Apple Cider Vinegar as a beauty aid three times a day. I understand that Apple Cider Vinegar can help to create a more alkaline pH in our body and hence, is great for detox as well as slimming. We bought a bottle back then but because of the funky smell, I haven’t been able to bring myself to even take a sip. My husband drank most of it and he said he quite like how he felt afterwards but because we started taking the Fit Solution all-in-one complete supplement, he hadn’t gone back to drinking it anymore. I still have some of it left in the fridge and have been using it for my hair and acne instead.

And come to think of it now, it’s actually one of the deciding factors for me when it comes to purchasing a product.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate: a stable vitamin C

I’m a bit carried away by a new vitamin C eye gel that I’m testing since last Thursday. I know…it’s less than a week and I’m already so excited. It’s definitely not a placebo effect because I’m quite cynical regarding products formulated for the eye area. But nevertheless, I will give it another week or so before reviewing the product officially. Today, I want to discuss one of the ingredients in the product and that is Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, which is a relatively new derivative of Vitamin C.
