I know this is a weid topic... but I've noticed some weird things

Since I've changed my eating habits to way more fruits vegetables, water etc. I've noticed that I'm getting pimples... it's not like I'm unknown to them, but generally I have clear skin most of the time. A friend of my mom's said that it's because I'm eating anti oxidants and my body is trying to "purify" my skin....

what do you guys think? And if you disagree, what the heck is going on?

Oh P.S I am waay past puberty...lol

Your body is detoxing.  The bad stuff has to come out somehow.
Give it a couple of weeks, your skin will get better.

Good diet and plenty of water are extremely good for skin - that's proven - check any website on skincare. I am not familiar with the whole detoxication concept, but I am sure it is either this or something that could not be attributed to food (like change in your hormones, change in climate, stress etc.). I agree with spoiled_candy that you should give it some time. Best of luck :)

It's true, you've got to get rid of it somehow.  Keep washing your face for the time being, especially with oatmeal or an oatmeal based scrub.  It'll do wonders for your skin.

This happened to me when I started changing my eating habits. Just give it some time. Now I eat fairly healthy most of the time and I drink plenty of water. I also exfoliate at least a couple times a week.  My skin is the best it's ever been. :-)

Amen, sarah_b.  The only time my skin looks remotely gross is when I'm going to start menstruating.  I get maybe one or two pimples, usually on my forehead, but otherwise, it's all smooth and I want to fondle it.  <3

This happened to me, too.  I couldn't figure out why my skin looked so bad when I'd been trying to be so healthy.  It never occured to me that it was detox. :)

it's good to know I'm not the only one... lol... how long till your skin cleared up?

Two weeks after I initially got a bad breakout, but now whenever I do have acne it clears up in a matter of days.

Just hang in there.

I had the same thing happen when I first started CC. I've only been on here a few weeks but after the first couple weeks I noticed my face breaking out and normally I have nice skin except for times when I feel it looks blotchy. But for the most part I have fair skin. I found out its all those toxins coming out of my body. I have pretty much eaten healthy as far as including veggies and things but i'm not eating as much processed food now.

Give it time and i'm sure it will clear up for you.

Mine cleared up after a couple weeks, too.  I'm sure your skin will be back to normal in no time. :)
