One of the best additions to my diet was taking apple cider to clear up my acne problems. Well I usually drink 3-4 water bottles per day, and I certainly didn’t feel like drinking exclusively lemon water all day.
So I added the second most useful thing to combat acne, and that is, Apple Cider Vinegar. I usually mix a VERY small amount of ACV in a 500 ml bottle of water.
How to drink ACV
For starters, if you make it too strong, it will be impossible to drink. When I started mixing apple cider with my water, I really didn’t like the taste, so what I did was I reduced the amount until it was ok to drink. In fact, at the start, I was putting in only a few drops and the color would barely change, but it was enough for me! Then I got used to the taste, and now I put just enough to see a slight color change in the water.
Mixing Apple Cider Vinegar with water
My personal guidelines are:
- If it burns when you drink it, you put WAY too much ACV
- If you can’t taste anything, then you didn’t put enough.
- If you can’t drink it completely, then you put too much.
- If you feel like you could drink the whole thing in one straight shot, you probably need a bit more.
Usually I’ll take big sips of the ACV / water mixture, and I forget that I’m drinking it because it just tastes normal. Apple cider vinegar will clear up your acne problems in no time!

Wow! How long before you see results? ACV is supposed to be really great at helping you go to the bathroom (#2):-)
How much ACV is best per day? 1-2 TB? 1 cup?
