    Cool My Before & After's - Acne

    Hi everyone!

    I just wanted to show what's possible by eating raw, with a before and after of my face... back when I was on the birth control pill and had horrible acne, to now... where I get very few breakouts!! :)



    You can read my full story at http://rawfoodswitch.com and I'd love to connect with you on Facebook too!

    Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like to share your own raw acne before and after photos. I'd love to see them. :)

    Wow! your skin looks beautiful! Are you wearing any cover-up/make-up on your face? Are there any certain foods/nutrients that really helped clear the acne?
    I hope you don't mind the questions and thank you for sharing!
    you are glowing :)

    Yes I am wearing make up in the second photo, but not foundation or cover-up.. just some blush, eye stuff, etc.

    I think cucumbers were great at helping clear the skin... greens, greens, greens. A lot of it was likely from removing unhealthy food not just adding healthy food. ;) Oh and taking care of myself... not being too hard on myself, sleeping enough, not letting myself get too stressed.

    Hope that helps!

    And thanks for the kind words. :)

    Whoa, what a huge difference! That's amazing! I'm 17, have some teen acne, and am on birth control. Were you able to come off the medication with the raw diet? This is very inspiring, thank you for sharing!
