As I write this article, I live in an apartment without a bathtub. So do me a favor, follow these tips and enjoy for 2 (at least) the benefits of a cider vinegar bath.
Exit the problems of the day, this moment is yours. Perfect temperature, small mood candles, a few drops of I-don't-know-what to foam, and ... your cider vinegar! It's one of the secrets of Claire Andreewitch , author of “ Reveal Your Glow ” (Marabout editions), THE bible of nutrition and beauty advice. Claire is also a naturopath and one of the most experienced personalities when it comes to taking care of yourself naturally.
“A few drops of cider vinegar in your bath is a panacea for people with skin problems and for detoxifying the body.”

Why does apple cider vinegar bath help fight skin problems?
For skin problems, the secret of cider vinegar lies in its PH. Similar to that of healthy skin (around 5), it will balance oily skin (alkaline PH greater than 6) and dry skin (acidic PH less than 4). The same goes for hair, in the event of a pH imbalance, its use could lead to healthier hair and soft, shiny hair. Last but not least, cider vinegar is also a natural antibacterial. In this way, it will help fight against stubborn body odors. It will also help eliminate toxins accumulated on your skin (air quality, pollution, perspiration, etc.).
In short, you are only 3 steps away from a luxurious, blissful bath:
1/ Fill your bathtub with water
2/ 200 ml of cider vinegar archi'v (optional: a few drops of lavender essential oil)
3/ Enjoy
So I would personally add step 0: find friends to “borrow” the bathtub from.
Extra tips: Proximity to your bottle of vinegar + a little moment of tranquility. Wouldn't we take advantage of it to make ourselves a clay mask? If this isn't paradise, it sure is...
