Thanks so much for your ideas! I've always had trouble figuring out my issues with acne because I've been dairy and gluten free for years and still not seen improvement. Since going plant based I've noticed my acne is mostly on my chin (as opposed to all over before), and I've heard that can be related to stress. I'm going to pick up my old daily habit of yoga and meditation, keep my fats super low (not eating nuts or avocados now for weight loss, anyway, but did have some tahini the other day), and avoiding soy and oats like you suggested! Mostly eating veggies, fruit, corn, rice, and potatoes anyway and I love it, so it shouldn't be hard to nix the tempeh.
I also took a look at some of my skincare and haircare products and decided to switch to all natural products with simple ingredients.
Again, thanks so much for the advice!
