What the press/stars say about Environ®

Award Winning Environ

Environ® has been recognized twice by Ireland’s prestigious monthly women’s magazine IMAGE, in their 2011 Beauty Awards, judged by a panel of independent skincare experts.

Focus Frown Serum was named ‘Best for Wrinkles’ in the Serums category. “This is an amazing brand ….Wearing this serum, you can feel it tingling and working straight away,” said holistic skincare therapist Anastasia Achilleos.

AVST Eye Gel won the ‘Best for Lines’ in the Eye Creams category. “A winner for the texture alone. Plus, it’s loaded with vitamin A, the only ingredient that is proven to have a significant effect on wrinkles, which is a first for an eye product,” commented judge Dr Jane Mulrooney.

And if these accolades weren’t sufficient acclaim, Image beauty editor and C-Quence user, Liz Dwyer recently told us:

“This is the first time I have ever stuck with a skincare brand more than two months, so to be still using it nearly a year later is amazing!”

Environ Skin Care has been introduced at the Sanctuary Spa, Convent Garden, as well as in their Boutique Spas.

Olivia Davies, General Manager at the Sanctuary Spa, Convent Garden is delighted with the introduction of Environ and says "Through research we found that Vitamin A and antioxidants deliver results far superior to glycolic acid treatments. Therefore, we have chosen to move over to Environ Active Vitamin treatments as they are the best in treating ageing, pigmentation and scarring and will meet with our existing Skin Spa clienteles' needs and expectations"

Leading skin micro-needling specialist Dr. Matthias Aust talked about how the signs of ageing, sun damage, scars and stretch marks could be significantly improved through non-destructive micro-needling of the skin.

Dr. Aust showed a series of images which demonstrated significant improvements in fine wrinkles, lax skin, scarring, burns and stretch marks treated with Environ Medical Roll-CIT to produce tighter, smoother skin.

"Needling employs the body's natural response that, for the first time ever as far as we know, induces regeneration instead of scar formation and can be safely repeated until one gets the desired effects", said Dr. Aust.

He added the only after-effects were redness similar to mild sunburn and a little swelling for a maximum of two days. The advantages of the needling are that there is no sun sensitivity, the epidermis remains intact, skin becomes thicker, dilated vessels improve, natural facial expression and personality are preserved (which is difficult with toxin injections and tight facelifts).

Dr. Aust explained how individuals were prepared with topical Vitamin A and C creams for a minimum of 3 weeks pre-operatively to enhance the results.

Teenage Kicks

The B-Active System for teenage skin problems from Environ is designed to effectively control problem and oily skin. B-Active products aim to address the key factors that cause problem skin, including a mild vitamin A deficiency and increased sebum production caused by hormonal imbalances. The range helps reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands, dissolve whiteheads and blackheads, keep the skin surface slightly acidic to control the activity of bacteria, and treat breakouts when they occur.

Within the range there are six products:
- Sebutrol (pre-cleansing oil)
- Sebuwash (facial wash)
- Sebutone (toner)
- Sebugel A (vitamin A oil balancing moisturiser)
- Sebumask (to clear impurities and hydrate)
- Sebuspot (spot treatment gel)

All feature antiseptic Australian tea tree oil which is renowned for its skin healing properties. As clients' acne improves, you can gradually increase the levels of vitamin A by adding one of the Environ vitamin A and anti-oxidant moisturisers to their regime to boost the skin's natural assault on excessive oiliness

Cutting Edge Skincare

Environ Skin Care has been using multiple results-focused ingredients for some time in its Ionzyme C-Quence range of facial creams and eye gels.

Dairy colostrum provide growth factors alongside the latest generation of pentapeptide ingredients such as Argirelene, Matrixyl and Dermaxyl, which work in synergy with vitamin A, C and E to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, particularly around the eye area, and help prevent new lines from forming.

More recently Environ has added a serum to the Ionzyme range with an innovative combination of peptides Argireline, Leuphasyl and Vialox, which is achieving impressive frown line reducing results.

"Our latest Environ products include ingredients like low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which is the most easily absorbed form, colostrum for its high concentration of growth and immune factors, resveratrol for its antioxidant, anti-ageing properties. We also use a number of useful pentapeptides which enhance the results of established cosmeceutical ingredients such as vitamin A and C" explains Tracy Tamaris, training director at the International Institute of Anti-Ageing.

The Environ Focus Frown Serum targets the chemical complexes and wrinkle forming mechanisms around the eye areas. The unique formulation softens muscle activity, giving visible results within weeks, minimising even deep frown lines and smile lines at the sides of the eyes.

Focus Hydrating Serum features low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to plump dehydrated or aged skin.

Skincare's best kept secrets:

With her long, flowing locks, cute smocks and magic fingers, Anastasia Achilleos is often described as a flower child of facialists. So why is this skincare guru, whose passion for natural ingredients so intense that she imports £90 Halal-certified exfoliators from Australia, advocating the use of one of the most chemically active skincare brands around?

"I resisted for ages but when I was choosing the products for the spa (The Method Spa, London's Home House where the clientele includes Kate Moss), I realised we had some great brands, but nothing that could really go deep. AVST gets right down into the deepest layers of the skin and will help with wrinkles as well as sun damage!

AVST .... is loved by of London's big-name facialists, as well as beauty editors and pretty much anyone who's stumbled across it.

I try it out and within a fortnight I am hooked. That's a month short of the recommended try-time for any new skincare product ...

"The foundation of great summer skincare lies in two things: wearing sunscreen and using antioxidant - and vitamin A-rich serums to help protect skin and reverse any sun damage" says Dr Des Fernandes, the South African cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon who pioneered the use of vitamin A in skincare.

He recommends a cocktail of protecting and repairing ingredients including vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10 and carotenoids which increase the levels of vitamin A in the skin.

"Vitamin C in particular is quite a good way to protect the skin from the sun because it disarms the free radicals that form when skin is exposed to the sun" he says. "It also has a relatively long life within the skin, which means you can put it on the night before and get the benefits for the whole of the next day".

Product of the week: AVST Hydrating Lotion.

Dry skin is calling out for the benefits of AVST Hydrating Lotion ... It helps to address dry, rough body skin, including the feet, elbows and knees, leaving it smooth and soft.

This product hydrates the skin by compacting the outer layer and thereby helping it to retain its natural moisture.

AVST Hydrating Lotion is a neutralised lactic acid based body lotion containing medium levels of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that are safe, gentle and non-toxic and has a pH adjusted for optimal effectiveness. It works by assisting the natural exfoliating function, leading to clearer skin with greater resilience and a finer texture. It helps to soften and smooth the body skin, while improving moisture content.

As well as working wonders on flaky, coarse and sun-damaged skin, AVST Hydrating Lotion can also help prevent ingrown hairs.

Uneven pigmentation problems may also benefit. The formation is such that the surface of the protective 'horny' layer is maintained and acts like a natural skin lightener, minimising the production of melanin for an even tone.
