Summary: Cold shower? Apple cider vinegar? Learn about these home remedies for healthier skin.Cold showers aren't just for cooling off after a hot, hard workout in the sun. In fact, a cold shower can do wonders for the health of your skin, by improving circulation and activating the nervous system. If you don't think you can suffer through an entire shower with cold water, try ending your warm-water session with one or two minutes of cold, says special guest and natural healing expert, Deirdre Layne. You can also use almond oil or olive oil to moisturize post-shower and to give your skin a healthy glow. From the bathroom onto the kitchen... apple cider vinegar is also an effective way to improve the health of your skin; whether you use it externally or internally. Coined a "modern folk remedy" by Layne, apple cider vinegar can be helpful in easing arthritis, curing food poisoning, lessening symptoms of a sinus infection and even helping you overcome acid reflux and GERD. And if you're looking to fight off acne, apple cider vinegar can be used externally by swabbing your face with a cotton ball soaked in it. Turmeric can also be helpful in preventing acne breakouts, boils and staph infections. Learn more about these home remedies and more with David, Lisa and Deirdre on this segment of Beauty Inside Out.
