Tips & Warnings
Wear sunscreen when you go out in the sun. This will reduce the redness that will be left from current acne.
If your skin doesn't react well to the diluted vinegar, try a smaller amount or refrain from using it at all.
You may want to consult with your dermatologist before using this method, just to be sure it won't interfere with your other treatments.
