Again, I was pretty lucky to have good skin before, but I'd always assumed a bad pimple or two was normal, especially before my period. Now, they are truly an anomaly.
I've also noticed that more people describe my skin as "glowing" since I went vegan. That's likely due to cutting out dairy — one of the leading causes of acne, according to numerous studies on the topic — and eating more skin-friendly fruits, veggies, and nuts.
