So I have been on a mostly raw diet (around 70% or so right now) but I have been 100% vegan for about 4 or 5 days... I'm starting to notice my skin is breaking out, and I usually have pretty good skin, I might get a small breakout once a month or so. But my skin right now has several bumps and blemishes popping up out of nowhere. It seems logical that toxins would be expelled through our skin, so I wonder if perhaps this is a sign that this change in eating is helping to rid my body of toxins? I'd like to know if this could be the case or if I need to change my skincare routine a bit...\\t
Thanks!!

I would say that yes your body is getting rid of stuff via your skin. Keep your skincare products as raw as possible.

it's absolutely worth it to me too! haha
I've had issues with my skin since I became vegan 6 months ago also and done quite a bit of surfing to find some answers. An alternative to fasting: try eating celery and drinking lots of alkalized water. Raw celery is high in fiber so it will help clear out toxins. You can alkalize your water by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice to every liter of water. The vitamin C in the lemon/lime helps to detoxify the body. There are also supplements you may want to consider: zinc citrate 40mg and Chromium 800mcg. Personally, I also have to take a probiotic daily, and whenever I've tried to stop my t-zone flares back up. Typically a 5 billion active culture of Acidophilus is the recommendation to maintain a healthy tract. Hope this helps, I know how frustrating it is when we're trying to be so healthy.
Great health and beautiful skin to everyone!
