When I went raw my skin cleared up. I am sure yours will too. One of the best things for glowing skin is Green Smoohties. They strengthen the whole body.

I've been doing green smoothie every morning but I also continue to use my prescribed skin products, so I'm not sure if my clear complexion is a result of the smoothies or the continued use of my skin treatment.

And as I mentioned above, it is so nice to not have to wear make-up. I love how my complexion looks again and I want to find a really good natural line before I just take a leap of faith.

I did a 30 day juice fast that ended in December and then I went completely raw. It’s been a really great experience since making the transition from being a cooked vegan. So much so that I'm ready to use natural products externally as well but I am a little nervous when it comes to my skin.

That's a great suggestion. It would be best to make this a gradual transition as oppose to a drastic change. I think I'll start with replacing my cleanser first and then take it from there.

By the way, has any tried facial brushing. I recently bought a dry skin body brush and noticed their was also a smaller brush specifically for the face. It supposed to be a great way to clear pores and exfoliate. Has anyone tried this before?

The clarisonic is amazing, shiv. I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine. We started carrying them at the spa I work in so I was able to buy one at a discount. Prepare yourself to be amazed....

I was on the MyChelle website earlier and I saw the Pumpkin Peel. I think I'll order that too, thanks!

I agree with krose! The clarisonic is the way to go! I had problem skin for a while when I first went vegan, I think it was from all the soy products I was eating, but then I started using that sucker and my face looks wonderful! Plus I use Arcona products. They're pricey but they are all natural and RAW! They're cold processed so you get all the enzymes and amino acids and antioxidants that your skin needs! I have oily skin as well and this stuff seems to keep it under control.
