Breakouts..Acne..6 months..Is it still "Detox"?

I have been 100% lfrv for 6 months now and I am still experiencing what I believe to be "detox" in the form of acne. My face has always been quite clear and when I went from my previous low fat vegetarian diet to 100% low fat raw vegan food diet my face began breaking out in little pimples all over. Now, 6 months later, I am still experiencing these breakouts and not to mention larger bumps that will surface on my cheeks.

I do not know what to do. I am following 955, proper food combining (mostly mono meals), adequate water intake (3 liters/day), exercise (triathlon competitor), and rest (7-8 hours/night), but I have not seen ANY change in my skin.

I know that this diet and lifestyle is right and the only answer to pure health. The health benefits (energy, digestion, fitness, etc.) I have experienced otherwise are incredible. I feel great and want to share with everyone how great I believe the lfrv diet is, but I don't because I feel as though I look awful. I have been depressed and let this consume my life. I just want to look on the outside as wonderful as I feel inside.

Is this really still detox? How long should it last? What am I possibly doing wrong? What else should I be doing?

Can anyone offer me advice, encouraging words, or personal recovery stories?
Thanks

I got a massage the other week and they used some type of oil and my back is quite lumpy as a result. Oil/make up/make up remover etc clogs pores and can often create skin irritation.

Give it 6 months of lots o sleep, water, fruits etc and zero cosmetics/oil etc. Youll be right.

This dude has acne!..and Id give the exact same advice and know it would work to improve the condition of the skin.

I wanted to suggest one more thing. Here is a link to a Chinese Face Map: http://www.eruptingmind.com/chinese-face-map/
The idea is the different places on the face correspond to different parts of the body and organs (much like reflexology uses your feet). If you notice your break outs in a certain area it could help pin point the issue.

for me its high glycemic fruit that causes brake outs- dried fruit, especially very dry dates, so make sure you soak them. :)

Hi, Brittany. Something in your diet is probably irritating you. I think it is so simple. Your job is to find out what it is. I doubt it is some large group (like sweet fruit as Kasay sugested). It might be one type of food or some combination you eat. What I would basically do is to eliminate one by one and experiment this way. I definately do not believe it is detox.
