Washing your face with white vinegar is generally not advisable, primarily because white vinegar is an irritating liquid. Using it blindly on the face can easily irritate facial skin—especially in individuals with a naturally thin stratum corneum. After washing with vinegar, localized skin may lose excessive moisture, leading to dryness and even wrinkles. Facial cleansing with white vinegar is considered a folk remedy and typically offers no therapeutic benefit; therefore, it should not be used arbitrarily.
