There's no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to achieving healthy, beautiful skin
Since ancient times, people have used cosmetics to try and improve their skin and to hide the visible effects of ageing
The introduction of Vitamin A into skincare formulations was a ground-breaking moment, because it offered benefits to sun-damaged skin. Prominent Cape Town plastic surgeon Dr. Des Fernandes was a pioneer in this field. In the 1980s he was the first to use Vitamin A in high enough doses for a genuine, measurable effect on the quality of skin
Dr. Fernandes became interested in the mechanics of skin care and the skin following the untimely deaths of two young patients due to melanoma. Through his research, he discovered the essential role of Vitamin A in skin health and he became determined to create treatments that would maintain healthy skins, especially as the incidence of sun-related skin disorders grows worldwide
Out of this, the Environ® range and company were born. Over the past 19 years, the Company has developed an extensive distribution network in South Africa and over 64 countries around the world, the efficacy of its products making it one of the cult favourites among those in the know. Environ® is acclaimed by international beauty editors, skincare therapists and dermatologists
At its heart, Environ's® mission is to provide proven, cutting-edge technology and sound skin science principles in creating skincare for women and men, from youth to maturity, as well as children; all skin types and all ethnicities
As a brand Environ™ value first and foremost real, proven results that truly transform the skin long term.
We strive on integrity and keeping the meaningful promises we make to our consumers by offering the most effective skin care range that science permits
It is never too early or too late to start caring for your skin, so invest in it now for great future returns
The way our skin responds to ageing is due, in part, to our genetic make-up. But how we treat our skin has a huge impact on the visible signs
Exposure to sunlight, environmental elements such as air pollution and toxins in our food, and our lifestyle (lack of sleep, stress, smoking and alcohol) all contribute to the visible signs of ageing developing well before our time
With the variety of non-surgical interventions available, it's easy to assume there are enough quick fixes out there to beat skin ageing. However, the best way to achieve a healthy skin is to start using genuine skincare from a young age. Nowadays, the understanding of the mechanics of ageing is so sophisticated that we are able to mimic cellular processes and allow skin to achieve optimal health and condition. Cosmetic technology now provides natural, safe and consistent solutions that deliver effective, believable results
The cornerstone of Environ® treatments is Vitamin A. Extensive medical research and trials have shown that:
* Vitamin A has a corrective effect on the skin, smoothing it and softening and protecting it from the effects of UV radiation and free radicals
* Its most important activity is to normalise the skin
* It promotes the production of healthy collagen and elastin
* Improves the skin's natural moisture, leading to healthy, young looking skin
Environ® draws on cutting edge technology, combined with proven botanicals and scientific principles to create skincare ranges that address different needs and problems for people of all ages.
The formulations are benchmarked against the most exclusive desirable beauty products, but are realistically priced so that they remain accessible to all
Outstanding results for all skin types and all ages
Whatever your needs are, there's an Environ® range to suit you
The unique formulations are a powerful anti-ageing tool which effectively addresses photo-damage, problem skin, uneven skin tone and dryness
Clients who use the products see results that they have never experienced before, positive changes that are tangible and real. Our aim is to support the long-term health of the skin rather than a quick, temporary fix
To make significant changes to the skin, higher levels of active ingredients are needed than those found in over-the-counter products
Available only from salons, Environ® products provide essential nutrients in sufficient doses to be truly effective
The AVST™ and Ionzyme® ranges are based on a unique step-up programme which allows the skin to gradually acclimatise to progressively higher levels of Vitamin A, resulting in a plumper, younger looking complexion
Vitamin A: Has long been known as the 'Skin Vitamin':
* normalises the skin by repairing DNA, improving collagen and elastin, whilst helping to increase natural moisture levels
* essential nutrient that has to be replaced each day for healthy, youthful appearance
Intensive Vitamin C:
* improves skin elasticity, mops up free radicals and brightens the complexion
* also facilitates in the reduction of pigmentation blemishes
Free radical quenchers in the form of natural antioxidant vitamins C, E, B5, beta-carotene and plant extracts in the form of an ingredient in Green Tea, one of the most powerful antioxidants
* Lycopene, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Witchhazel and Lutein are used to counteract the effects of free radicals if they are formed
Both UVA and UVB organic sunscreeners:
* Wherever possible, inorganic sunscreen reflectants are used as they do not cause any skin irritation, nor are they absorbed into the skin and therefore cannot cause any long term problems
* in addition, when subjected to UV light they do not alter their chemical structure and no not become free radicals
Pro-Vitamin B5: used in a hypo-allergenic base:
* boosts the waterproof barrier of the skin to assist in controlling free radicals and to reduce the chances of follicular obstruction
Growth factors: by supplementing growth factors, Environ® can help to stimulate the skin into a higher degree of response and rejuvenation
Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids:
* help to minimise signs of being
* useful for acne conditions
Peeling System: more advanced treatment system for sun damaged skin and congestion
Resveratrol: combats the visible signs of ageing
Peptides: stimulate collagen and elastin production
Environ® is a cosmeceutical that bridges the gap between modern medical science and beauty therapy
The formulations and professional treatments are based on nutrients that have been scientifically researched and thoroughly tested. It goes beyond simple 'pampering' to work with the skin's physiology, making it beautiful and healthy
The range is based on 20 years of clinical trials on human volunteers and is manufactured under strict laboratory conditions. In order to protect the active ingredients from heat and light, the products are packaged in plastic coated aluminium tubes and airless pump bottles
Environ® skin care products are only manufactured from the highest quality ingredients
Most of the products are free from fragrance, preservatives, colourants and animal extracts. One should understand that Environ® is one of the very few products in the world that does not have any preservatives added to the formula. That means the creams have to be made under very strict laboratory conditions, and that once a tube has been opened it should then be used within 12 weeks, or preferably earlier
All Environ® products are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic
The finished product has not been tested on animals. They are tested on human volunteers only
