    WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT DO OIL CLEANSING!! I just started paleo primal eating last month, and my skin has been looking rough as well. It's purifying toxins that have been stuck below the surface for a long time. Personally I have oily skin, and last year I read to fight OIL with oil... What a terrible mistake. I had porcelain skin, even though it was shiny. A week into the new routine, I had big painful zits with no head on them. The blog said this was a normal thing...so I kept on for another month where it just got worse and worse. A year later, my face is still breaking out in places it never did before oil cleansing and I am scarred with Brownish red scars!! I used the best lightest oils as well, I wasn't using baby oil or something like that. Please please do not fall for it!

    You dug up a 3 year old thread just to complain?

    I think our skin reacts to any drastic change.

    No. However I discovered I was allergic to synthetic glycols, and eliminating those got rid of 95% of my zits.

    I'm actually going through this right now. I changed my diet a little over a week ago, and my face and neck broke out just resently (2-3 days ago). It's starting to clear up now. I didn't at all change my skin care routine either. I would say that if you are making a huge change in your diet, it could be a reason why your skin might break out.

    Anyone have any follow ups? I have been eating healthy for a year or two now and my face has been breaking out increasingly worse over that time. I keep thinking it’s purging but it never stops, no matter what I try.

    I'm lucky that my skin usually only breaks out around my period.

    maybe it's something you're eating? Dairy is a huge culprit for me.
