Hii guys!  

I've been a vegan for about 2 months now, moving towards something like a superhero diet, but I currently eat what I would say is typical vegan food. Healthy and a lot of veggies. No crappy food like fries and such, although I sometimes eat a little bit of sugar... But that's nothing new, been doing that even before I went vegan

Anyway, I have a problem. My skin is behaving really weird since I started eating vegan food only. I've always had GREAT skin, but now it's full of blisters and pimples. It's dry and fat at the same time? I don't get it! Have any of you experienced anthing like this?

Small price to pay since I love everything about being a vegan, but I also miss my skin...

PS. I'm from Sweden so pardon me if I've spelled something wrong, hope you can understand me though

Would be so grateful for some inputs!
Love,
Ava

Hey Ava, 

When I went vegan my decent looking skin broke out horribly and I ended up with rashes in my eyebrows and my chin. Everything regulated after the detox period except my chin issues. I still have it and no doctor or vegan product has helped. They have actually made it worse. So I suggest waiting another month and checking to see if you are using the best products for your skin type. Are you drinking enough water? Taking any supplements? Omega 3's?

Hi Terra,

Thanks for you response! I'm not sure if I'm drinking enough water, some days I think not, but I'm not drinking any less water than I used to before I went vegan... And I'm not taking any supplement, I want to try and get everything I need from food, and I feel great except for the skin... Perhaps I should try and find some vegan omega 3... Where I live I think most omega 3 supplements are made from fish, and I don't want to eat that... :)

I will try drinking more water and find some vegan omega 3 and see if it gets any better from waiting... For how long do you believe the "detox period" goes on?

You can add flax seeds to your diet for omega 3's. Make sure they are ground though so they are easily absorbed. 

Detox is different for everyone. I wish I could tell you when it will be over but I can't. I hope drinking water helps it flush your system faster.
