One month ago, I decided to try unfiltered, unpasteurized ACV with the mother to help with my mild Roseacia. I only have small capillaries around my nose and on my chin. However, I felt like I should apply the vinegar to my whole face but didn't know why.
I was very surprised to discover that I love the smell and the feeling of the apple cider vinegar on my face. I have been applying it morning and evening for 30 days. I do not rinse my face afterward. And I don't apply moisturizer after the vinegar.
My face looks noticeably clearer, brighter, and softer! The age spots are definitely fading all over my face. My husband and others close to me have seen the difference in my skin.
I did originally break out on my nose and chin, but those blemishes are gone now. The ACV did not make my skin feel dry or cause it to peel, either.
I am going to continue to apply ACV to my face and will be starting to apply it to my forearms and hands.
I read somewhere that unpasteurized and unfiltered ACV contains acetic, lactic, and hyaluronic acids. The last two are often found in anti-aging skin products.
I will stop back and give an update sometime in January of 2024.

Yes, it's also true that people with "Dr." in their names write all kinds of books; especially books on nutrition. Example: the book titled "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" by Dr. Wallace. However what those authors say in their books are nothing but opinions. It is you, the reader, who needs to separate the wheat from the chaff. One of the most challenging tasks of reading books involves sorting through a seemingly endless stream of opinions on pretty much everything.
Sorry, there are no 125 mg (milligram) Selenium tablets that I know of. It's far more likely that each of those tablets contain 125 mcg (microgram) Selenium.
Further, in the last 3 months I've been taking 300 mcg a day of Selenium. But, as to my age spots (a.k.a. sun spots, and moles), this protocol has done nothing for me. Therefore, if you're taking 300 mcg Selenium per day for 3 months for your age spots, liver spots, or moles, you're wasting your money. Ditto for a dose of 200 mcg per day for 3 months.
I hope this will help somebody!
Can you please share which brand and form of selenium you took and when you took it in relation to meals, I.e. 1 hour before meals on empty stomach or with a meal or right after a meal, in the morning or evening before sleep?
Thank you

I am not sure about the difference between age spots and sun-damage spots!
We get a lot of both of them in these here parts (high-intensity UV rays). I am not one for sun-screens on a personal front.
I fixed some small ones on my arms several months ago by regularly taking a multi-vitamin and mineral (trace minerals?) supplement pill each and every day for a while (and still taking them for other reasons). Twelve vitamins and twelve minerals, including several reckoned as being deficient in our (NZ) soils e.g. Boron, Selenium, Copper etc etc. Rectifying these missing elements is important I reckon. Soil is different in the USA.
The Selenium was listed as "Amino acid chelate" and I think this may have been the essential ingredient in my case. More accurate description than that I cannot say: taken on trust!
However, I have a whopper on my leg which I have had for a long time, finally got frustrated with it and have resorted to using a smear of Salicylic Acid Gel on it for five days ending tomorrow, so we will see how that pans out.
There are some simple instructions to follow including a followup protocol of using some Aloe Vera Gel to round off the treatment/heal the scar.
Mine hasn't "Whitened up/dried up or peeled off" yet as promised but we live in hope - optimism is the best policy I suppose. The blighter has clung to the leg like a tropical leech for a long time and probably won't give up in a hurry. It looks like one of those chocolate buttons actually-remember them?
Anyway, I hope you have success.

Since taking a multi-mineral and vitamin tablet once per day after my main meal for two months, I have noticed that my liver spots on my fore-arms have disappeared.
How cool is that?!
There are supposed to be twelve minerals and twelve vitamins in these tabs and Selenium (amino acid chelate) comes out at 12.5mg by weight and 125mg active.
My doctor would no doubt have said that the liver spots come courtesy of advanced years, yet with the right inputs (or maybe cutting some things out?), many afflictions can be reversed if given enough time to work their magic.
Our NZ soils are naturally deficient in Selenium, Boron and Copper among other things.
Doctors these days get almost no training in nutrition!! Pretty weird attitude on the part of the trainers.
(P.S. Unfortunately our very strong sunlight here comes at a cost, with one of the highest ultra-violet ratings in the world, we suffer from the highest rates of Melanoma, so we heed to watch our skin's reaction constantly!! ).
(P.S. number two! Bill Bryson's latest book entitled "The Body - A Guide for Occupants" is certainly worthy of the attention of the esteemed posters on this Site - I am up to page 322 in the chapter: "Into the Nether Regions").

I have Cronometer it's a app that you type in your food and it BBCshows you if you met your vitamins and minerals, fats, protein, amino acids, omega 3 etc. for the day. it shows that I do not meet my selenium daily requirements and I just started getting liver spots on my hands and fore arm. I bought selenium vitamin drops a few days ago so I am looking forward to my age spots reversing!! Thanks for the tip!! I will reply if they go away, I got about five at once.

Lime Skin-------As a right handed person, I have rubbed lime skin (rind) every single morning on my left hand after squeezing it in my herbal tea, and there are zero liver/age/brown spots, whereas, I do have some tiny light brown spots on my right hand!
These days, I use lime skin on both hands equally!

This is amazing. Thanks so much for sharing. I have not heard about the connections between selenium levels and skin changes (moles, cancers, age spots, etc).
I have 200mcg selenium caps in my vitamin cabinet, but only take a capsule a couple times a month to ensure I don't have a deficiency. I'm going to take them daily for a period time. I'll report back any changes I notice.

Lemon juice from a bottle is NOT the same as fresh lemon juice. I do not know if it would work in your case but I do know from an unfortunate experience that for certain internal lemon juice benefits to work the bottled product is useless. Use Fresh Lemon Juice Only for any home remedies recommending its use.

I would be happy to share with you if you are interested but I do not want to write a long post or look up URL's to paste for research if not. I am recovering from a very intensive hip replacement and am just finishing my first week. I have no problem sharing this with you, am happy to do it, but I tire easily and am taking meds so I am a little gimpy and slow.
I have a number of things I use that work well for me as I said but I would be remiss if I didn't continue looking for other treatments. I keep a holistic approach but I am not a perfectionist, I just do what works for me and I am not a price snob. I do not believe that just because something is more expensive it is better.
Ok, hope this helps, let me know if you are interested and I will get back to you! PS: I have a big surprise for you about the "warts! "

I'm wondering if things have been going as well since the last time you posted (about 3 yrs. ago). I'm wondering what to do myself. That fine, thin complexion that's too much that way. Also have what appear to be tiny whiteheads but I now believe perhaps they're a wart of some kind. Have you heard of these? I've been involved in the natural world for close to 30 yrs. or so. Has helped me with neurological problems I have & something that laid me totally flat, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) now known as Myalgic Encephalamyolitis ME). Ongoing battle & one of my other illnesses entailed surgery for cysts forming inside the spinal cord. I later had surgery for one of the others, Arnold-Chiari Malformation. Fortunately, the latter was successful, but so much damage had been done. Sorry, didn't mean to take the rest of your Sat. & Sun, too. Hope to hear from you & especially hope you are well. Thanks, Penny II. (I now go by Penelope...far more respect in the medical world.

Tons of thanks once again for your reply and positive thought that 'it does not look like vitiligo'. Your answer gave her a ray of hope. Will definitely try your suggestion and keep you posted. Also pray for her that it cures 100% and that slighlty white patch becomes back to normal skin colour.
She also started wheatgrass juice first thing in the morning.

I have been thinking about what to suggest for your sister, as it started as a boil and possibly spread to the end of the nose?
My first thought was impetigo, which is common on that part of the face. It does sound like some sort of infection, anyway, whether bacterial or fungal.
There are so many things to try and with skin things I tend to just keep trying things until I find what works. But with the more tender skin of age, I would want to stick to remedies that are as gentle as possible. I was pondering castor oil, coconut oil, turmeric, acv....
Then I remembered this skin cream I was using for a while that I just loved - Nutribitoic Skin Ointment. It is kind of pricey ($8 for a half ounce tube) but a little goes a long way. I found it to be very gentle. It contains all sorts of stuff that would help a variety of problems. (It has herbs, castor oil, gse, honey, vitamins, essential oils etc.) Anyway, that is probably what I would try first.
Frankly, it doesn't sound like vitiligo to me, but I haven't seen it, I suppose! Vitiligo is a skin condition in which the skin isn't showing its pigmentation, I have never seen it raised or resembling boils or anything.
Let me know what you think.

My sister developed some boil near her right nostril and also some reddish spots near end of nostrils. Doctor gave her some strong creams containing steroids. The rash did not reduce and after two months of using those creams she again went to doctor and he said it the beginning stage of vitiligo. and asked her to continue the creams and also said he can not predict anything. My sister is 70 years and very much terrified with this. She is active and have normal health.
I will be grateful if you can suggest some home remedy for this.

Can you clarify a little more? You put peroxide on the spot first? Then the horseradish alone next? Or the mixture of horseradish/salt/vinegar?

I got rid of a large one with a mixture of peroxide and horseradish sauce (horseradish, vinegar, salt, water). I'm thinking that was the combo, but I'm not sure, I have to get more horseradish and try it again. Just the kind of horseradish sauce you make at home. I put the peroxide on it and then while it was still damp rubbed the horseradish into it real good. I only did it once or twice. The brown spot turned a lovely shade of lavender and puffed up a little, and then faded away in just a few days. It was either apple cider vinegar or regular white vinegar. Sorry I can't remember. The store hasn't stocked horseradish root for a while and the jars of it all have mystery ingredients... So I wait...

I have recently developed an interest in essential oils as I think I mentioned. I began with jojoba oil, then went to squalane, and the most recent three are raspberry oil, rosehip oil, and pomegranate oil. I chose the last three because they are noted for reducing redness and inflammation.
While I was using the first two, I noticed my skin was beginning to regain it's integrity and elasticity, and it seemed to me that the dark spots were shedding. I have developed rosacea from an allergy to the metal in my back and I hate it. When I read about raspberry , pomegranate and rose hip oil, I saw that they were noted for reducing inflammation. So I ordered each of them and began a regimen of a drop or two of jojoba or squalane oil, as they are known carrier oils, then a drop or two of each of the raspberry, pomegranate, and rose hip oil, mixed them together and applied that mixture at least two times a day. I am not given to overstating a thing, but I have to tell you that the fine little veins and spots from the rosacea are nearly gone. I still get red, but the damage to my skin is improving so fast that it is unbelievable to me. I also applied this combination to an area of tiny veins on the side of my knee to see if it would affect them and it has!
Finally, I noticed that the brown spots had gradually sloughed off in the process. My brown spots were very light except on my eyebrows, so I am not saying everybody will experience this as quickly but I do believe there is a wealth of healing to be found in the essential oils. I slather my body every day with avocado oil to help my dry skin.
I particularly enjoy the new integrity of my skin. The pores seem smaller, the fine lines finer and over all a younger look and feel. BY the way, I never use anything stronger than water and a washcloth to clean my skin and if I have make up on before bed, I never wash it off because it can destroy the acid mantle on the skin which is not helpful.
Now if anybody has a recipe for skin tags, I am listening? And, as soon as I am able I will get the ACV with mother and try that with a honey mask just to see what else might happen. I am unaware of the benefits of selenuim as well and need to research what part that will play in my regimen.
My largest concern now is to find something to really get rid of the angular cheilitis that cause me such problems and damages my skin-anybody?

My comment is directed to those who would like a natural, fairly inexpensive moisturizer. Have any of you tried Squalane oil? I use it directly under my makeup, if I wear any but I wait a few minutes and give it time to sink in. Squalane is a very light (almost feels like water) oil. It is so lovely, clear, no odor and fairly inexpensive. Many companies sell "cold-pressed, first-pass" olive oil and charge a lot of money for an ounce of it @ $45. But Squalane is a finer oil and very inexpensive, @ or less than $25 for 4 oz's. If you do not like the feel under your makeup use it for a night moisturizer. It is natural, inexpensive and beats any of the expensive ( very expensive) moisturizers I have ever used. I also use it as a carrier oil for other essential oils I may use. And Avocado oil is a most wonderful body moisturizer. It is a little green, and has a slight odor (mildly off-putting, but dissipates quickly). It does not make your skin green. Sure less expensive than lotion, and au -naturalle!
One last thing, I use Frankincense, straight in my nares, and it seems to be clearing my sinus'. You may want to mix it with a carrier but I like it straight. I just put a few drops in the palm of my hand and using a clean finger tip, apply it as far in in a circular motion to cover as much area as possible. My eyes have not looked like soccer balls, and I have not noticed the yellow crystals in the corner of my eyes lately.
Now, I can't wait to try the ACV and one of God's biggest healers to mankind honey. I wonder if a person made a mask of honey ( we used to do it in nursing school) and used the mask after the ACV dried what benefit a person might see with the tone, elasticity, integrity, and effect on dark spots? Sounds good, and there are some very nice tree honeys that are said to be wowsers! Best wishes on our journey~*~

I came across this board and with so many positive reviews about ACV, I went and purchased a bottle of organic ACV with mother. I have several skin issues that really are bothersome especially sun damage on my face. I treated the following:
Actinic Keratoses on my face and arms. Brown solar spots on my face. And the most difficult, atopic dermatitis patches(eczema)on my legs. I applied un diluted ACV 2x per day with a q-tip directly to the spots and AK. In addition, I am drinking 1 tablespoon with fruit juice 1x per day. I have been doing this for 22 days and I am amazed that the AK lesions have almost disappeared!! There is some pinkish color and still a little bit to continue to treat. The brown age spots have diminished in darkness and are not noticeable unless you look for them. Once again, I am still treating them and expect continued progress. The eczema has been more difficult but has shrunk by at least 50% and seems to be drying out and flaking off a little bit at a time. I did seem to develop another blister at one site, but I believe this was a underlying one that emerged with treatment. THIS STUFF WORKS!
I am NOT getting the weight loss and lower blood pressure, others are, but am amazed to have an apparent solution to my skin problems.
Do you do the mixture every day or can you keep in the fridge for a few days? Thanks for your help.

This is what I did:
Fresh lemon juice-ACV- and the horseradish. All equal parts . (it will be a tad milky with some foam, ), I put a very warm wet cloth on my face and neck for a couple of minutes to open up my pores and then apply my mixture and go to bed. This takes a couple of days and the results are wonderful. My skin has improved 75% and I am going to keep on using this, this is working for me and I am very happy with the results I am seeing. The smell is not too bad but your spouse or partner may not agree, but there is always the couch for them to sleep on...
