Twins share how they beat acne by changing their diet

Nina and Randa Nelson are twins from California who know what it means to suffer from severe acne. When they, at the age of 20, had their face affected by many pimples, no medicine was able to help them. And doctors gave the only option a treatment with drugs that had devastating side effects. However, they did not give up and, with a simple change in diet, achieved great results in a few weeks.

O awesome.club researched more about the diet changes young girls have allowed them to regain their skin, and is ready to share it all with you!

Nina and Randa Nelson grew up vegan, always following a healthy diet. So in 2014, when they had a severe acne breakout, they didn’t know what to do. Both are singers and actresses, and are always performing in public. Therefore, the skin problem made them so depressed that they spent a whole month without leaving the house and without seeing anyone.🇧🇷

“It was the worst acne you can imagine. I thought it would stay that way forever, and I had the impression that I would absolutely have to live with the problem,” said Randa.

Nina and Randa tested different remedies to get rid of breakouts, including all kinds of diets, facials and even antibiotics. But the products only seemed to work for a month at most. Then the pimples came back with everything.

The dermatologists who treated the young women ended up giving up and abandoning the patients, saying that the only way out was treatment with isotretinoin, a powerful derivative of vitamin A and used to treat severe cases of acne. A friend of the twins took the drug and suffered from serious side effects.such as pain, depression and hair losswhich made the sisters look for another option.

At one point, the twins’ father suggested that they change their diet in an attempt to solve the problem. The sisters did research on the website of physician John McDougall, whose diets help fight heart disease, diabetes and other ailments. The girls’ mother had already done one of those regimens, with satisfactory results. Browsing the page, the sisters discovered that even small amounts of soy and fats can cause severe acne in people who are allergic to these ingredients.

Reducing consumption of soy, fats and oils meant eliminating many vegan products consumed by the twins from their diet., including soy milk, hummus, peanut butter, nuts and avocado. They followed a new food plan, and the choice proved to be the right one.

It’s even hard to believe, but the truth is that the before and after photos you see above were taken just five weeks apart. “In three days, new pimples stopped appearing, leaving us to heal the scars. It felt like a miracle. It was the first thing that really worked,” said Randa. Both admitted, however, that the “treatment” required discipline: to obtain the expected result, it is necessary to follow the regimen strictly, without opening any kind of space for escapes🇧🇷

Nina and Randa became examples to be followed. Even when doctors delivered the stitches and suggested taking medicine, the sisters chose not to use chemistry, preferring natural solutions. They did not give up and found the best option for their case. 🇧🇷After a period of depression and searching for answers, the simple fact of changing the diet and immediately seeing the results was the best feeling in the world”, told the girls.

To help other people who also suffer from acne, Nina and Randa wrote a book, called The Clear Skin Diet (something like “The Clean Skin Diet”), which has made many people rethink their diet. And on a blog, they share easy-to-prepare vegan recipes (including desserts) that are not only healthy but also delicious.

The story that these young women shared with the world proved that the cure is not always in manufactured drugs, and that there are often simpler ways to deal with some problems🇧🇷 “Anyone can get rid of acne. You just need to be willing to change your diet”, says Nina.
