Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 What would you suggest? I have been vegan for a few months now. I eat lots of fruit, veggies and nuts, coconut & periodic ovacado. I am finding my skin looking leathery. I drink water, but maybe not 1/2 my body weight in ounces/day. Is that the only factor to getting better skin? Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 My mother who is 63 and has beautiful skin has always put almond oil on her skin after a shower. It has a distinct smell which you may or may not like, but edgar casey ~ I think, said it is good stuff. Also, OVER exposure to the sun can cause leathery skin regardless of the diet. Though the sun is extremely important for Vitamin D (and energy ~ love the sun!) be sure to cover up once you've gotten your daily dose! Consuming oils ~ Avocado, nuts, seeds, coconut should be helping from the inside, as well. But I think water is key ~ and try a skin brush to help your body get rid of the dead skin. They say every 7 years all of the cells in your body are replaced, the dry leathery skin may be a result of your previous diet/lifestyle as opposed to the switch to vegan. Did you have dry leathery skin before, as well? Good luck and best of health! BEV Karen Woods [kydwoods] Sunday, February 27, 2005 12:02 AM leathery skin What would you suggest?
