It's also great for your hair. A mix of vinegar and water helps with dryness and makes it look shinier.
Great tip. Thank you!
I've heard that a spray bottle of vinegar and water will help in breaking up dog fights. I haven't been able to test it out as the dogs have been good. but I have one handy as I don't want them hurting each other.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing.
Apple vinegar, when applied to a viscious first-degree sunburn, pulls the pain out of the burn realitively quick, and prevents it from blistering :) When used daily for sunburn reducing, it also leaves the area nice and tan ;) (perfect for us fair skinned redheads that burn to a crisp and become white as a ghost again).
Note: not recommended for a burn greater than first degree. From personal experience, if the area blisters within the first 5-8 hours (2nd degree), steep teabags in a bag of water, soak a towel or rag in said tea, then apply to burnt area for relief.
