It is generally not recommended to wash your face with white vinegar. Although white vinegar has skin-brightening and antibacterial properties, it can cause significant discomfort for individuals with sensitive skin. Regular use of white vinegar for facial cleansing may lead to facial erythema (redness), papules, and symptoms such as itching and a burning sensation. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is best to wash your face with lukewarm water.
