Skin care question?
 |
Posted by meg97 at 10/23/2009 |
I have a question regarding my skin. I've been a vegan for about 5 months now. Almost the entire time my face has been broken out with acne. I've always had a problem with acne, but never to this extent! I thought that eliminating dairy would have a positive effect on my skin, but it seems to have made it worse!
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions of what I could add or eliminate from my diet? Without compromising my veganism of course!

I'd suggest a little more zinc-containing foods - yeast, mushrooms, sunflower seeds,soya foods. If that doesn't work, a date or fig alternately each day for magnesium.
Think minerals, not vitamins.
Give away pills, supplements and junk foods, and OF COURSE tobacco and alcohol (is there such a thing as vegans who use them?). I once met a guy who reckoned he ate a healthy diet, which seemed to me to consist of alcohol coupled with a handful of vitamin tablets.

Can you give more details about your diet - what kind of oils and how much of them, and which foods do you eat the most of?
