I have always been prone to breaking out. As I am losing weight, my skin is looking wrinkly and I am getting large break outs. My skin on my face and chest looks bumpy and ruddy and I just don't like the way it looks and feels. I try not to wear much makeup but need some cover up.

I am eating healthy so I am confused.

I am drinking tons of water, which I did not do before.

I take lots of vitamins including a very good, hair, skin and nail formula.

I may be allergic to something I am eating? Am I just detoxing a bunch trough my skin?

Is there an inexpensive blood allergy test I could take?

Is anyone else going through skin challenges? What have you found that works to tighten and make my skin glow with health?

What are you eating? Are you getting enough fat?

I'm sort of having this problem, but I know I have hormonal issues so I blame that (which is impacted by the weight loss I know)...it's sad, I kinda always thought eating healthy, fresh food would make me look glowy and beautiful. Not so!

I am getting enough of everything and I take alot of supplements.

Again, my skin has always been a problem and I am puzzled that I am eating healthy and still have this problem.

I am eating a lot of soy milk so I am thinking to change to almond milk.

I just thought that a thread with the conversation about how to get radiant healthy skin would be helpful to many people.

Since I've been doing more intense workouts and sweating a lot, I've been breaking out. I go straight to class after the gym and don't have time to wash my face/redo my makeup.

Could sweating cause breakouts?

I've found Soya to be a major source of spots for myself also.

I think sweating could definitely cause spots especially if you're not rinsing your face. Could you get a spritzy bottle of water/rose water/ etc and just give your face a quick swipe with a cotton bud maybe?

Oh man, I sooo could have written this post!!!!

I was breaking out pretty bad before I started losing weight, and I thought that once I started losing, it would clear up. WRONG! It's gotten worse, and I am also drinking lots of water/eating good/taking vitamins/etc.

I also wash my face right after working out too, so I have no idea. I chocked it up to hormones too, but I don't know that for sure.
I've even tried 2 different face washes/cleansers!

I hope it clears up soon, I'm literally sitting here with a HUGE zit right inbetween my eyes.

Let me know if you all find anything that helps!!!!!!

In my opinion if you're breaking out around your chin/mouth/jawline it is most likely hormonal, so you're probably best off trying things like Oil of Evening Primrose type medications. I absolutely recommend Yasmin (BC) for this, but obviously not everyone wants to or can be on birth control.

It might just be that your face is a bit clogged, I definitely think face masks are a big part of clear skin. I'm not a fan of scrubs since I don't like the abrasive nature of them. Microdermabrasion is the only thing I will occasionally do.

However! Clay and charcoal masks! I absolutely love these and do them about 2 times a week. I think they're infinitely better since they're pulling dirt from your pores rather than just scrubbing off dead skin cells, plus you can relax for a bit
