Vegan Acne

AHHHHH! Help! I'm breaking out like a pre-teen! This is what I sounded like for about 2 weeks until I realized, it was not going away. I needed to find out what was going on with my once smooth, clear skin. I googled, "vegan acne" and found out it really does exist! It is against my instincts that I would break out now that I am vegan. I am eating so healthy and putting mostly fruits and vegetables in my body. According to different sites that I found, that could be part of the problem. Now that I am not eating toxins, my body is getting rid of the ones that are left. When they are exiting my body, they come out through my skin as pimples. Yuck!

Also, I found out that because I am no longer eating dairy and meat, my body is being deprived of the good bacteria that kills bad bacteria (like the kind that causes acne) in your body.

I took a trip to my local natural food store to find out what to do. I ended up with a probiotic, or good bacteria, that I take 2 times a day. I also started eating flax and evening primrose oil to hydrate my skin more. The result, the acne is gone! Yeah! I recomend visiting with a naturopath or health and beauty expert at a natural food store if you experience something similar. There are so many kinds of probiotics out there, I'm sure you can find the one that is best for you!
