Skin Issues and more

Ever since I went off birth control, my skin has broken out like I was in high school again. Especially near my chin (where I admittedly lean on my hand a lot at work to read) and my hairline (near and/or under where my hair crosses my forehead). Not sure if it is hormones getting readjusted, sugar intake too high, my shampoo is causing a reaction (different shampoo and facial cleanser), or a combination, but it is annoying.

An update on the vitamins: I am continuing with my regular multivitamin and folic acid supplement instead switching completely to the chewables. The chewables have less vitamins and minerals, but choline and DHA which my regular ones do not. The One a Day prenatals are actually two vitamins, one regular multivitamin with a different balance, I guess, and a huge honking DHA pill. I haven't bought them. Also after awhile the taste of the chewables started to make me gag and would come back to haunt me.
