A woman who says she “lost all her confidence” due to her acne breakouts has revealed how she finally found something to help – and dropped over a stone in weight in just over a month at the same time.
Adriana Vanni, a 28-year-old blogger from Melbourne, had battled with spots over her face for as long as she could remember and despite trying medication and different products, the skin problems didn’t go away.
In addition to the acne, she was also encountering migraines and fatigue all throughout the day.
But while she was scrolling through Instagram last year, she was targeted with an advert for a skin system and decided to give it a go.
“I was content with a lot of things in my life. I felt like they were good enough, but my skin was always an area where I was insecure,” said Adrianna.
“I had used prescription medication to try and help it, multiple different face washes from the chemist and recommendations by a facialist.
“I’d tried changing my diet but nothing worked.
“I’d go out with my friends and have to use loads of makeup just to cover up the latest breakout.
“It was just problem after problem with my skin and it really became frustrating to deal with on a daily basis.
“I hated it. I didn’t feel like myself anymore and lost all my confidence.”
When the recent Melbourne lockdown hit, Adriana found herself noticing her skin issues even more as she wasn’t wearing makeup at all and she was also putting on weight.
She said: “The isolation really made it hard for me to keep up with my health and mental wellbeing.
“I just lost all motivation.
“I was feeling tired and sluggish all day.
“My skin stopped me from wearing makeup because it would look worse than if I didn’t have it on.
“If I did ever want to go out I would wait for a flare up to settle down before I could even make plans.”
After starting on Wednesday Cleanse Day’s Transform & Glow system in April 2020, she says she began noticing a change in her skin.
She said: “I thought I’d give it a go just to try and reset my body and my gut as I know how much skin and the stomach are linked.
“The system consists of taking one sachet each morning which would assist with the intermittent fasting I was doing.
“It was easy to make, you just mix it with water in a glass and give it a good stir with a spoon.
“Each sachet is packed with stuff like collagen peptides, Siberian ginseng, aloe vera, peppermint.”
Initially, she did a three-day detox but was pleased with the results and then purchased a further 28-day pack.
She said: “It sounds incredible but within 14 days I began to see changes and by the end of my first 28-day pack my skin was amazing!
“My breakouts became less frequent and I just looked healthier.
“I was so impressed that I decided to keep up with the system to see if I could improve my complexion even more.
“I really felt a significant difference.
“My skin was glowing with no pimples, which I hadn’t seen for as long as I can remember.
“And not only that but I felt less bloated and lethargic, too.”
In addition to clearing up her skin, the cleanse had also helped Adrianna to lose a few kilos she had gained during lockdown.
She explained: “Six weeks after starting on the system I tried on some clothes and I realised I’d lost weight – over a stone!”
“I was doing intermittent fasting anyway.
“I felt like I had more energy, which meant I wanted to be outside doing stuff and my sugar cravings went.
“With a clear head, I was able to make healthy food choices.
“I went from a size 12 to a size 8. I was blown away. I didn’t think I would achieve that while being in lockdown with no gyms open.
“My skin is glowing now, which is amazing, but I feel so much more confident now and I think that really shines through.”
