pimples!!

rawjazzrawjazz Raw Newbie

Hi everybody, I have been raw for about 6 weeks, and this week I started breaking out on my face. It’s very strange as I NEVER get pimples. I have been vegan for four years. Is this normal? How long will it last? At what point in time can I safely assume that any “detox” symptoms are over? Thank you!!

  • I’m wondering if maybe it’s not the food? Whenever I used to stay the night at a friend’s house, I would get big pimples before I even went to sleep. I still can’t understand why though. Maybe something different in routine? Not an answer, just a suggestion.

    It could be your makeup. Do you use makeup a lot?

  • I’ve been getting them too, I think it has to be the detox process. I am only about 85% raw at the moment and I feel like to I need to go 100%. I just get this idea that everything good I do plus the unhealthy food puts me in a constant cycle of detox.

    Well I have a green smoothie for breakfast, with collards or kale, bananas, pears or strawberries. Then during the day I have a really big salad…usually 1/2 cup of nuts throughout the day along with lots of fruit. Weird right? I don’t wear makeup.

  • I recently started raw but before this I was breaking out!! It was terrible and the reason was my gut sounds yuckie but it is true you have to get rid of all the bad junk that you have been lugging around with you all these years. I’m going to try the colonics soon as for my acne got so bad had to go on antibiotic but I have it under control with diet exercise and lots of water hope this helps:)

  • Pimples broke out after a couple of weeks going raw for me too. They will clear up and you’ll look radiant soon enough.

  • yeahh im getting them too boooo
