I gave up meat and dairy 3 weeks ago today! Internally I am feeling much better and I have lost weight but this past week my skin has gotten horrible!  I have never had bad skin before and was wondering if this is normal or if anyone else has had this happen.  Thanks everyone!

Yes, Heather, it is normal.  It's you body detoxing.... all the bad stuff comes out your skin.  Stick to a good cleansing routine.. wash/exfoliate/toner/moisturize....stay away from chemicals here too.  I use the Kiss My Face line and it worked for me.  When all the nasty stuff is out of your body your skin will look amazing!!!!
Hang in there!

I know exactly what you mean Heather. My skin is still healing from detox. I had to try several different organic/vegan skin care products until I found a good one that worked. Just be patient, it will get better. I really like Lush face products, and a good exfoliator will help too.

I have yet to go off of my Olay products I've been using for years, and that work great for me and quite honestly I'm a little nervous about it.  I'm using what I already have, but don't plan to buy any more.  I will be looking into a good, natural skin care line.  Thanks for the recommendations of Lush and Kiss my Face. I'll look into those.  It's just a little annoying b/c face wash and lotions and such aren't usually the cheapest things, and then you're stuck with a whole bottle if it doesn't work for you.  So I'm crossing my fingers that I'll find a good one, that's not TOO expensive, that works well for my skin.   

Lush products are absolutely amazing.  I had this happen around the 2-3 week mark of my trek down vegan lane...but now my skin is healing, and literally glowing!  It's rough and nasty, but trust me, once you get all the toxic junk out of your system (which I have heard can take up to a month, but don't quote me on that!) you will see beautiful glowing skin!

I like the Burt's Bees line.  I haven't checked yet if they are totally vegan (that bit is new to me), but I like the Orange Essence Facial Cleanser and the Radiance skin creams.  Oh, and the Lettuce toner!  Very soothing.

The nice thing about the Burt's Bees is that you can get little travel packs with sample sizes of the products.  That might help you get an idea if you like a product.

Thanks everyone for all your great ideas!  I actually found a vegan line called Aubrey Organics. It has worked so well! My skin is starting to look much better so hopefully those nasty toxins are getting out of there! I really do appreciate all of your input!  Thanks again!!!!

Jasmine Grace -- Probably not your name -- We've seen your commercials for tea already -- knock it off.

 Ha ha, Cheryl, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw your comment! Don't listen Heather, don't go back to the milk again!!

Haha!  Don't worry!  No milk for me and I'm not buying her damn tea either!!!!!
