Hi Jbombs! Sorry to hear you're struggling! I had perfect skin right through my teens and until my mid-twenties and then WHAM- both the surfacey whitehead kind and these awful, hormonal cysts along my jawline!

Obviously not everything works for everyone (and a lot of people also do just get bouts of acne at random times. Though it sounds like there's a connection with what you're eating as a vego for sure) and the above responses are probably better than mine anyway but here's what I personally learned!

-even tiny bits of dairy break me out,
-soy milk actually HELPS my cystic acne, possibly due to a low weight and perhaps lowish estrogen or something ( have you lost or gained weight on your vego diet? That can tip the balance ) BUT there are certain brands of processed soy meats etc that break me out every single time for an unknown reason. Something in them I guess ( or just the fact that they're crap... )
-I stopped using even my organic 100% natural facewash/moisturisers/foundation. All of it. Cold turkey. My skin is a LOT nicer now.
-balanced diet ( vitamins are good but perhaps not the same?)
-no daily cashews. No idea why but those babies also break me out if I munch on them for 2 or 3 days in a row. In a raw cake on occasion etc. it's fine but if I buy a bag and tear through them the way I do with other nuts.... bad news! Omega 6s or something. I have no idea. That said...it's only skin and sometimes I don't mind! Remembering it IS only skin helps ( but if your skin is telling you something is up inside that can be good to listen to :) )

Let us know how you go!!

Try some good acne lotion probably organic or herbal it will take time but will cure it  for ever.

use an oil free cleanser and then put organic pur sheabutter. it really works for me.

even the tiniest bit of dairy will cause me to break out, i also notice red splotches on my face after eating dairy and generally all junk food.

dairy has been connected to acne flare ups, many of us here can attest to the connection as well.

 veggieboards is for vegans and vegetarians and those aspiring to be vegan and vegetarian, you risk getting kicked off by talking about eating turkey and other animals.
