Face breaking out

[Rachelled]

Hi everyone,

This is my first cleanse and i'm on my 4th day. I'm doing better then i expected. I had terrible cravings the first and second day, but eventually those werent as bad. Things seemed to be going fine until today when my face broke out. Im not sure if this is part of the cleansing or not?? I broke out all over my face with these itchy bumbs, kinda like acne i suppose. :eek: I've never had this happen so i wondered if it was just a side effect of the detox.
Can anybody shed some light on my skin problem?

hey babe, I gotta run but wanted to calm your down a bit. that's actually a common detox symptom and should clear up in a day or two.

Hey, I don't know if you've seen my posts elsewhere on the board, but I've been having similar trouble. I highly recommend tea tree oil - put it right on the spots. You have to dilute it a bit to use it on your face, but you'll be glad you did.
