In this podcast, Dr. Berg clears up the confusion about apple cider vinegar and the skin. The pH of the skin is 5.5 (acidic) – 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic and higher than 7 is alkaline. The sweat and the oil(sebum) in the skin are between 4 – 5.5 acidic.

The pH of apple cider vinegar is between 2 to 3 and is 100x more acid than skin so yes it could irritate and burn the skin. Always dilute it and don’t put it directly on your skin.

Dilute 1 tbsp. in an 8oz of water.

Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar for the Skin:

1. Reduce Bacteria

2. Clean Pores

3. Make the skin softer and more elastic

*it will not get rid of acne because it is a vitamin A or a situation where there are too many androgens coming from too much insulin.

0:49.0	up so of my skin is it going to make things worse or whatever.
0:52.5	So let's just talk about it.
0:53.9	The pH of your skin is 5.5.
0:58.0	So it's acidic.
0:59.4	Neutral is 7.
1:01.0	Anything lower is more acidic. Anything higher than seven is more alkaline.
1:06.5	As we go from one number, let's say seven down to six, six would be ten times as acid, okay? And if you go down to five, that would
1:18.0	be ten times ten that's a hundred times as acidic, okay? And that's how it works. And the sweat on your skin and the oil, which is called

1:46.4	skin. So this is why you always want to dilute it, don't put it directly on your skin.
1:52.3	Okay, it's an acid. I mean stomach acid is between
1:56.5	one and three, so you wouldn't put hydicloric acid on your skin. So you dilute it. You take
2:01.2	one tablespoon in a glass of water, and then you take that mixture and you put that on the skin.
2:06.0	Now why is that good for the skin?
2:08.0	Well, because the skin thrives in an acidic medium.
2:12.0	So if you add
