Pour some apple cider vinegar onto a cotton ball/swab or Q-tip and then apply it to your problem areas.  This can be used all over your body as well.  Hold the swab to your problem areas for a few minutes at a time.  Rinse your face thoroughly and tone and apply moisturizer as usual.  You can use this treatment 2x a week.
