I guess so!

I've been eating vegetarian for 6 months, do you think lack of something found in meat is the reason for my skin outbreaks?

Or may tofu give such problems?

I've noticed these outbreaks before, I was a part time vegetarian (without tofu or Quorn, I just skipped meat), and I didn't have pimples the month around like I do now when being a full-time vegetarian.

I've heard a suggestion that it may come from dairy in your diet. But I've also heard that it is part of the normal detoxifying process. (The toxins trying to leave your body through your skin).

BUT if it is normal for you to have acne or blackheads anyway, being a vegetarian or vegan will not change that. Only a great product will help, containing salicylic acid to clear and clean your pores.
