I had a breakout right before surgery. I think the complete overhaul of our diets is part of the issue. I will say though after getting through the flare up I now have the best skin I have ever had in my life. I hope yours clears up soon .

Try taking make-up off (if you wear it) with coconut oil. The oil naturally cleans pores and with weight loss a lot of your bodies natural toxins want out of your body because you are becoming healthier. So make sure you wash your face extra during your weight loss journey. Losing 70 lbs made a huge difference in how healthy my skin looks/feels because I eat healthier and produce way less natural toxins - sorry for the kind of gross science lesson! Oh, ps. a good face scrub will help clean out pores too! Congrats on the start of your journey!

I'm down 70 pounds pre/post op and my skin is SUPER oily. I don't wear makeup, but I do exfoliate a couple times a week. I might night to try some new products.
