Is Apple Cider Vinegar Advisable As Face Toner During Pregnancy?
Question: im 17weeks pregnant. is it ok if i use apple cider vinegar as my toner in face?
Brief Answer:
Yes this would be completely safe
Detailed Answer:
At 17 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is basically completely formed in terms of organ development. Topical use of vinegar should have no effect on the fetus. Even if there was a concern, there would be NO studies to suggest one way or the other whether this was safe or not.
That being said, if a patient suggested this to me during a visit, I would tell them that I could see no reason that this would be unsafe.
Does this help?
