A Foodie Takes Our 7-Day Challenge
For Andrea Vicens, fresh ingredients are essential to whipping up delicious meals that are not only mouth watering, but also packed with nutrients and vitamins that are at their peak potential. “The food’s nutritional properties must be pure and intact. Otherwise, you’re not getting the full benefit from your diet!” says Andrea, who’s currently a student at the Basque Culinary Center and founded Fashion Eats by Andrea Vicens to share her passion for food and fashion. Another honorable mention: Andrea was a third-place finalist of MasterChef 3. “Going through that show made me really fall in love with food and define my food style, which is simple and healthy, but always creative with beautiful colors and shapes,” she says.
Knowing Andrea’s passion for fresh ingredients—and that she’s a beauty junkie—we invited her to take the Clinique #FreshPressed 7-Day Challenge to test the new Fresh Pressed 7-Day System with Pure Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a powerhouse antioxidant that brightens, firms, retexturizes, and evens out skin by reducing dark spots and softening wrinkles. It also defends against free radicals, preventing further skin damage from environmental aggressors like sun exposure and pollution. The catch: Vitamin C is also extremely unstable, because it begins to break down as soon as it is exposed to light and air, which immediately degrades its potency. The innovation: Fresh Pressed 7-Day System, which protects the full power of vitamin C up until the very moment you use it.
Clinical studies have shown that after using the Fresh Pressed cleanser and booster for 7 days, skin appears visibly more radiant, even and firm. So for one week, Andrea followed the instructions down to the last detail. Here’s what happened:
