Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 I always had dry skin too, but when I became vegan nearly 3 years ago my skin got quite a bit better. I have always had spots here and there, sunshine is the best medicine for them..... Why not come over all girly and get some nice vegam moisturizer for you poor wind battered flakies oh...and drink plenty of water.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 I'm one of those people who doesn't complain that often. Therefore moisturiser, in what ever quantities won't stop my skin from flaking all over the place. Sunshine? Englands famous for that, basically I should move back to Australia! It's soooo dry it often leaves sores cause there ain't much skin left. Isn't omega 3 supposed to be good for skin? mr big [pervyempire] 19 April 2001 10:36 vegan-network Re: Health I always had dry skin too, but when I became vegan nearly 3 years ago my skin got quite a bit better.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 I'm vegan 4 years, veggie about 4 before that. Since being vegan, my skin is much better and my eyes are doing fine, considering I glare at monitors 24/7.
