This ingredient can help eliminate wrinkles and fade the first signs of ageing.
As we get older, it is inevitable that signs of ageing will begin to appear, such as grey hairs and the first wrinkles and expression lines around the eyes and other areas of the face. Over time, our skin changes and loses elasticity, and although some people have no problem with this and wear it well, many others resort to different cosmetic products and treatments in order to reduce these signs more naturally and feel better about themselves.
Beyond the numerous options available in the form of creams and treatments, there are much cheaper and more effective methods. These are home remedies that can help soften expression lines and eliminate wrinkles quickly, as is the case with apple cider vinegar, a very versatile product that can be used for a wide variety of purposes, often related to cleaning, but which is also useful for improving our appearance.
This ingredient, so widely used in cooking, has also been gaining prominence in the world of cosmetics thanks to its content of vitamins, antioxidants and natural acids, thanks to which apple cider vinegar improves the appearance of the skin without having to undergo expensive treatments or invest large amounts of money in specific products.
Although it may seem hard to believe, this ingredient can help us to eliminate wrinkles and fade the first signs of ageing. It does this thanks to its alpha hydroxy acid compounds, which enable the vinegar to remove dead skin cells, while also firming and regenerating the dermis.

How to apply apple cider vinegar to get rid of wrinkles
One of the best ways to enjoy the benefits of apple cider vinegar is to create your own facial toner. To do this, simply mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts water, in equal proportions. This will reduce its concentration so that there is no risk of skin reactions.
Before applying the toner all over your face, it is advisable to do a small test to check that your skin tolerates the toner, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Once the apple cider vinegar-based facial toner is ready, it should be mixed vigorously until the liquids are fully combined before each application. With your face completely clean, apply it to your skin with a cotton pad. This routine should be done at night, as vinegar should not be exposed to sunlight. The next day, remove it with plenty of water and then apply sunscreen and moisturiser.
In addition, if you want to enhance its effectiveness on pronounced wrinkles, you can add a few drops of olive oil to the mixture and then massage it into specific areas using circular movements. If desired, you can also add chopped parsley to help improve the depigmenting action.
