Did anyone else break out after they switched to a healthier diet? Or is it just me?

    I actually had a kind if bad flare up. It seems to have settled down now. 3 months in.

    Actually yes lol. Not sure if it was from the dietary changes or exercise that was causing it.

    That is my post from 2014, and had some great advice. Personally I found using an exfoliating facial scrub daily and washing with clean and clear, it seemed to get better.

    Lots of water and eventually it'll clear up.

    Did you got on the Keto high fat diet? Could you open your diary to the public?
    Sometimes, not always, high saturated fat diet can cause a breakout.

    I'm getting the same reaction too, thank you to pp link to thread for advice.

    I thought it was due to me switching over birth control types but a month in it was still not settling.

    I'm drinking lots of fluids and due to my cardiovascular health it's low fat, plus I'm a fish only meat eater. I was pretty confused, this last week though it's cleared up.

    Hope it does the same :)
