Hi,

since i am drinking a protein shake regulary, my facial skin is getting pretty bad. I am getting new spots almost everyday. i am not exactly sure if it is from the shake but i read a few thing on different forums.

my question is: do i take the wrong shake? on what things do i have to look in a shake? what exactly makes my skin make bad-which ingridient?

please give me your opinions.

thanks from europe

Actually, I was wondering why my acne was coming back. My whey protein could be a factor. I think I'm going to stop taking it for about 2 weeks and see what happens. I have recently gotten some bad Tinea Versicolor on my back, chest, and shoulders thats not going away easily...I wonder if not taking Whey will help it...only time will tell.

Do you mean acne?

Excessive protein can tax the liver and can lead to acne

Hmm, I think it would not

I think it would not matter what protein shake you would take. I think that you are just more sensitive to these 'spots'.
Why? Eating high protein can cause an increase in acne, aswell as making your skin look greasy.

My guess is that this is what you are having.
