Environ's NEW exciting anti-ageing range

I haven't been updating my blog for a quite while, but meanwhile, there are some amazing anti-ageing products had been launched by Environ. I already have very good feedbacks from my clients!
Environ's key ingredients vitamin A, C & E and anti-oxidants are crucial for our skin health thus it prevents excessive ageing signs. However it is great to add other agents from different angles to slow down our ageing process, which makes even more effective.

Avance DFP 312 (30ml) - £76

It is known as 'Peptide Booster'. Peptides are smaller molecules of amino acids that is essential to restore (help building) skin cells and make vitamins work harder. 'Peptide' is a hot term in cosmetic products, but this is even more superior because it contains 3 different peptides:

Matrixyl 3000: Combination of 7 natural amino acids which have anti-ageing properties
Trylagen: Combination of peptides and proteins to restore collagen levels
Matrixyl Sythe 6: Stimulates 6 major constituents of the skin to assist in smoothening wrinkles and plumping the skin

How to use: Use as a serum under the face cream, better with Environ's AVST or C-Quence creams as it enhances vitamin activities in the skin. It is safe for the first time user of Environ's face creams.

Revival Masque (50ml) - £52

This anti-ageing mask is apparently now Environ's best selling item! The combination of 3 acids makes the radiant, smoother, younger appearance possible. Although it contains acids, it is safe to use it for all year around, unless you are sun worshipper (then limit to the winter months).

Asiatic Acid, Lactic Acid & Mandelic Acid assist following:

• Stimulate skin cells to produce growth factors that are important in the regenerative processes of the skin --> Excellent for photo damage and post acne scars.
• Powerful promotor of the natural moisturising factors of the skin (GAGS).
• Lifts and firms the skin - dramatically tightens.
• Lightens pigmentation and gives skin radiant quality.
• Reduces size open pores

How to use: Step up method of application, consult the therapist at the purchase. You can use either as a standard mask or leave on mask over the night. It is safe for the first time users of Environ's face creams.

Environ's Dr Fernandes in UK Vogue Jan 2016

Face time Kelly Gilbert seeks an antidote for the “Resting angry face.” Kelly interviews Environ Skin Care founder Dr Des Fernandes about more natural-looking alternatives to Botox and recommends the Focus Frown Serum to help ‘Turn that frown upside down.’ Dr Fernandes says: “It is about taking a different approach and helping the body harness its own repair.” On needling he adds: “They activate a collagen response, and when combined with active-laden topicals the results are fantastic.” 今発売中のUK Vogue２０１６年１月号にフェルナンデス医師のインタビューが載っています。ボトックスに変わる安全なFocus Frown Serumについての記事です。

What happend after I reached to AVST5 cream?

There are questions what can we do after reaching the highest level of Environ AVST cream (AVST5). You can stay at AVST5 forever (and add some additional serum from intensive range from time to time), or step up even higher. Some people are happy with keeping AVST5 but others want to achieve more. You can add C-Quence Gel (level 1-4) or Retinol (level 1-3) to AVST5. My clients said they are extremely happy by adding those items. Our need for vitamin A to repair DNA in the skin cells increase with ageing, so it is never too much to give more vitamin A. Do not worry, Environ's vitamin A is safe to use in high concentration if you step up the quantity properly. It does not thin your skin like some medical vitamin A cream. Read here too.

エンビロンで一番濃度の高いAVST5クリームに到達したら、その後どうなりますかという質問を良く受けます。そのままAVST5を続行することもあり（たまに必要ならば美容液なども足して）、または更に上を目指してビタミンを補充していく方法もあります。個人のゴール設定によって、AVST5に留まってハッピーな方、もしくはC-Quence Gel (level 1-4)やRetinol (level 1-3)をAVST5に追加して使っていく方法もあります。ステップアップすることによって更に目標に近づいたという声を良くお客さまから聞きます。ビタミンA、使用する量が増え過ぎたら大丈夫？エンビロンのビタミンAはきちんとステップアップすればお肌に普段になりません。良くニキビ肌に処方される医薬クリームのように肌が薄くなることもありません。安心してお使いになれます。こちらもご参照に。

Environ, 24 years since established

Environ is 24 years old since the company commenced their business in 1990. Its launch in UK was a bit later and reputation grew rather slowly by a word of mouth and by recommendation, so many people are surprised that it had been around quite a long time. I think, in a way, this was a better way to establish their own stance in the beauty market as they are really one of the true cosmeceutical brands. The founder Dr. Fernandes's topical endeavour had started back in 1983, making vitamin creams in his kitchen after tragic incidence of losing his young skin cancer patients. Initially he focused on vitamin A's effect on skin cancer prevention, which was then extended to anti-ageing of skin. So for people with fair skin, Environ's AVST creams are not only for your beauty purposes but also good for skin cancer prevention. Environ's website is demonstrating their history here, have a look!


エンビロンは１９９０年の会社設立以来今年で２４年になります。英国内での販売は少し遅れて始まり、またその認知度はゆっくり広まった為、以外と長い間存在していることに驚く人にも多々出会います。個人的にはゆっくりときちんとした形で人気が高まってきたことに、うれしく思います。それはエンビロンは長い目で見て負担なくお肌の再生を助け、効果が持続する化粧品だからです。そのような化粧品は実は美容界を見回してもそんなにありません。創立者のフェルナンデス医師は二人の若い皮膚がん患者を亡くしてから、ビタミンクリームの効果について研究を始めます。１９８３年のことです。最初は自分の台所でビタミンクリームを作っていたそうです。当初は皮膚がんを向上させたり、防ぐことを念頭に研究を進めていましたが、やがてお肌のアンチエージング全般に効果があることがわかってきました。ですので、もともとお肌の色素が薄めで皮膚がんのリスクの高い方（主に白人種ですが）は美容以外の目的でもエンビロンのAVSTクリームを使うと将来の皮膚がん予防にも効果的だと思われます。エンビロンのウェブサイトに年表が載っていますので、参考にしてみてください。

BPA free canned food??

BPA free bottles are now quite common in baby products, but do you know that BPA exposure is widely spread to all of us? In fact, 93% of 2,517 people in US's national survey found detectable level of BPA in their urine, according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).


Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical produced in large quantities for use primarily in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. The main source of BPA is from diet via canned foods, consumer products with polycarbonate tableware, plastic food containers, water bottles and baby bottles. The degree to which BPA leaches from polycarbonate container/ bottle into food may depend on the temperature, acidity, salt quantity, fat quantity of contained food. Baby and toddlers are said to be more sensitive to BPA, thus BPA free bottles can be found everywhere now. It is said that higher the BPA level in pregnant women's urine, more tendency to have aggressive, anxious and hyperactive children compared with women with lower BPA.


However we should also consider to reduce BPA intake to prevent a number of illnesses or disorders;

• Alzheimers dementia
• Reproductive disorders
• Heart disease
• Obesity            

and more, here is some links for studies on BPA related health issues (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bpa-related/index.cfm).


So what is examples of BPA leaked food products, here are few but quite common;

• Canned coconut milk & cream: Inner lining of can contains BPA and fatty coconut milk and cream help to leak BPA into food content.
• Canned tomato: Tomato's acidity helps to leak BPA into food content.
• Canned soup: Commercially available soup is very salty (check label!) and high salt helps to leak BPA into food content.
• Some, not all, but plastics that are marked with recycle codes 3 or 7 may be made with BPA.

There are also few common things that we could do to leak more BPA into your food;

• Microwave polycarbonate plastic food containers. Polycarbonate is strong and durable but may break down from over use at high temperature.
• Water or other drink bottles stored for a long time in a warm condition and even room temperature.

We should then reduce the intake of canned food, use of plastic container (replacing with glassware) and only choose BPA free package or bottle. For young people, dementia seems to feel irrelevant but infertility would raise more of your interest?




According to a food industry's news, there is one company producing BPA free can in US but currently the supply is not available in UK. Here is one example of US company using BPA free can for their coconut milk and other products. We can buy in UK via online shop etc.
