We’re so glad you are here! You’re looking at the brain and heart child of Nina and Randa Nelson, the innovators behind the Clear Skin Diet and Real Clear Skin products.

There’s an old saying that “necessity is the mother of invention.” Identical twins Nina and Randa are living proof this adage is true. 

In their early 20s, Nina and Randa were enjoying burgeoning careers in the entertainment industry. They were working regularly on television and in film, as well as operating popular social media platforms on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, etc. It seemed liked every dream they’d ever had was coming true!

And then the nightmare hit. 

Nina and Randa didn’t give up, they turned to invention. They discovered that they could heal their skin with diet, and created the Clear Skin Diet (book published in 2018 by Hachette). Thousands of people have now also used Nina and Randa's dietary strategies to clear their skin.

Nina and Randa, in keeping with their inventive spirit, spent two years working with chemists and personal care scientists to develop the topical half of Real Clear Skin. They personally tested dozens of formulas, tweaked their chosen versions to perfection, and made sure that all ingredients used meet the standards of the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit focused on safety and whose mission is to "empower people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment.”

Shalyn's journey started when she was surgically diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and abnormal cells on her cervix. She was overweight, had severe food intolerances, excruciating menstrual cycles, suffered from depression, constipation, and other digestive issues.

When conventional treatment failed, she was inclined to adopt a whole food plant-based diet after watching the documentary film, Forks Over Knives. Over the course of several months, Shalyn noticed her symptoms started disappearing. ALL of her symptoms became a thing of the past!

About a year and half later, her skin started breaking out with cystic acne. Her pores increased in size and her skin was more oily than ever. She was devastated and didn’t know where to turn.

That’s when she found Nina and Randa, who'd had the same problem with cystic acne. Shalyn said the absolute key for clearing her skin was switching to a low-fat plant based diet. After witnessing the profound power of nutrition in her own life, a light came on and suddenly she wanted to share this information with anyone who was suffering!

As a teen and young adult Tara was constantly battling with her weight, digestive upsets and reproductive health concerns. It wasn’t until she got a call from her doctor about cervical cancer cells detected at her last appointment that she knew she needed to change. Shortly after she went plant-based and over the next few years she saw fantastic improvement. The weight came off, digestion improved, and surprisingly, no more cancer cells have been found even over 10 years later.

A few years into her journey, the acne appeared. The depression and physical pain was so unbearable. Dermatologist-recommended treatments only made it worse.

After a YouTube search she came across information from Nina and Randa about how diet affects acne. She immediately downloaded their book The Clear Skin Diet. Today, her skin and confidence are both glowing once again!

Tara is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Dog Trainer, and runs her own business Zen Dog. She loves working with dogs and their people to solve complicated problems and help people find relief. She loves to help and teach others when they are motivated to see results. As a Clear Skin Diet Coach, Tara can now apply that love for coaching into her passion for plant based eating.

While many assume acne is something that largely affects teens and young adults, Jennifer’s struggle with acne continued well beyond that age. Shortly after turning forty, she found the acne on her shoulders and back had got significantly worse. Soon it spread to her upper arms and scalp.

Intent on improving her skin, Jennifer turned to topical treatments, added supplements and also changed her diet. After reading articles about possible benefits to the low-carb diet, Jennifer adapted her longtime vegan diet to one higher in fat and protein, and much lower in carbs.

As her acne worsened over the next four years, a new skin condition added to her misery. Small itchy blisters appeared on her legs at first; soon raised welts would pop up while she ate and finally her arms and legs were affected by a disfiguring eczema. A prescription for antibiotic cream containing lanolin only made matters worse.
