RAW HEALTH ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, 500ML: 2/10
Having heard a lot about the wonders of raw, unpasteurised Apple Cider Vinegar (or ACV if you should prefer) and how it is great for both applying topically and drinking for healthy skin I thought it would be silly of me to not give it a go.
So after conducting my research (which I'll give you a summary of below this review) I discovered that the optimum amount to consume was between 1-2 teaspoons a day so I reluctantly downed the unpleasant tasting health tonic and also doused my skin in it the unpleasant smelling stuff every day until the bottle was done. Unfortunately the results didn't quite match up to the wonderful reviews I read.
Although the ACV did on one or two occasions slightly soothe the itching, the itching came back very soon after application as it caused my skin to dry out. It also sometimes stung a little and if that's not enough to put you off the smell alone is, paired with the fact that it's not that easy to apply.
Unfortunately I didn't get to try out it's effectiveness as a bath additive as some people have recommended doing but I'm not confident that it would improve my opinion of it.
All in all there has been no noticeable difference in my skin since starting to take & apply ACV - although I'm convinced that it's helped me to lose a little bit of weight. I may not be using this vinegar as psoriasis treatment again however I think it will become a permanent fixture in my food cupboard to experience it's other health benefits by including it in recipes.
