New photo Mother, 31, reveals how she cleared up her chronic acne - by drinking SMOOTHIES

As anyone with acne will know, it's easy to get lost down a wormhole of possible cures, aids and heal-all products.

But one 31-year-old Queensland woman said it was as simple as drinking smoothies that helped her to clear up her chronic acne.

Mother-of-three Dana Tonkin, said she always had good skin throughout her teenage years, but then had a massive 'flareup' at age 22, which continued for the next eight years.

It wasn't until Dana switched up her diet and started incorporating The Healthy Mummy's banana and blueberry smoothies that she finally discovered a clear complexion.

'While I pretty much had good skin throughout my teenage years, I had a major flareup when I turned 22, and it continued for the next 8 years,' Dana recalled (pictured with a smoothie)

'While I pretty much had good skin throughout my teenage years, I had a major flareup when I turned 22, and it continued for the next 8 years,' Dana recalled to The Healthy Mummy. 

'I tried EVERYTHING. Creams, facewash, scrubs, peels, oils, Chiro, steam facials, light laser [to fix it], but never even thought about FOOD! I was only young and just thought if I wash my face that would fix it!'.

However, around 12 months ago the busy mother discovered The Healthy Mummy program - a weight loss program that has helped thousands of mothers shed their baby weight.

'I tried EVERYTHING. Creams, facewash, scrubs, peels, oils, Chiro, steam facials, light laser [to fix it], but never even thought about FOOD!,' the busy mum (pictured with her partner) said

While the 31-year-old did want to lose some weight (pictured before and after), she also said she tried the program in order to get healthy from the inside out

'If I'm truthful, I wanted to lose some weight but that wasn't the MAIN reason [I started the program],' Dana said.

'It was more so to get healthy from the inside out.'

And so, Dana cleared up her diet - swapping her regular 'sweets, cookies, soft drink, ice cream, milk chocolate, microwave meals and can soups' for fresh fruit and vegetables.

'Before, I rarely ate breakfast,' she said. 'I used to only buy packaged foods and microwave meals and eat out at least twice a week.'

She also started drinking The Healthy Mummy smoothies - especially the banana and blueberry breakfast variety.

This smoothie includes two tablespoons of Vanilla Healthy Mummy Smoothie mix, one cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 frozen banana, 1/3 cup frozen blueberries, one tablespoon rolled oats and five cubes of ice.

'I started on The Healthy Mummy smoothies and pretty much noticed a difference within a week,' the 31-year-old said. 

'My energy levels were also incredibly increased.'

These days, Dana makes her snacks and meals for the family in advance, and makes sure she drinks between two and three litres of water each day. 

'Next on my list is to start making my own sauces and dressings!,' she added.

Alongside her dietary changes, the mum-of-three has also taken up different skin habits to ensure her skin is glowing.

What are Dana's tips for people looking to clean up their skin?

1. Think about what you're eating: Look at your gut health and try apple cider vinegar. Good skin begins on the inside.

2. Don't delay: Don't think time is on your side because you never know when something might change and the best time to get started is NOW.

3. Stop worrying about what others think: Focus on bettering yourself. 

'I now make sure to wash it every morning and night,' Dana said. 

'PLUS Believing that I have beautiful skin! Which is something that I still struggle with at times because my skin isn't "perfect" in my eyes and when someone comments about my skin I really struggle with it. 

BUT I know how important positive talk is and believing in what you want.'

She now knows that when she starts to break out it's because her diet has become too relaxed.

Alongside the skin benefits, Dana has also gone from 83 kilograms to 57 kilos - she has also toned up.     

'Mentally, I am a whole new person,' she added. 'I've never felt better in my life.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
