Step 1 Sole Source ACNE BREAKOUT ANYONE....

[nomigippy]

Since starting I've developed bad acne around my jaw line.
Is this a side effect or just coincidence?

co-incidence, you are removing all the general toxins from your system with this diet.

Acne around the jawline is closely connected to use of mobile phones! Do you have the spots on the side where you hold your phone? If the spots are closer to your mouth than this is hormonal. Since starting the diet my skin has been so much better, but I still get spots on my chin and close to my mouth, it drives me crazy when I'm drinking so much water and not eating rubbish! They could signify an underlying hormonal imbalance like polycystic ovaries, or they might be triggered by stress hormones. Sometimes people think they have acne round the mouth area when in fact it is perioral dermatitis, which is usually red bumps with nothing in them like a normal spot. These could be due to a reaction to make-up or moisturiser, or a reaction to medication. Ask your GP to take a look, they might refer you to a dermatologist.

I have PCOS and doing Cambridge and feel that acne, hair growth etc improves when I'm on the diet (think the water helps my skin) x
