Before After photo for Environ Revival Masque

It quickly became Environ's best selling item and my favourite masque - Revival Masque. Dr Fernandes spent 4 years of developing and its unique acid formulation makes possible for all aspect of anti-ageing. Personally and on my clients' skin, I found it is quite effective for lifting, brightening and making pores smaller.

Here are some before and after photos posted by Environ;

Which toner (lotion) is the best for me?

Environ has 5 toners/ lotions to choose. Which one is the best for my skin?

AVST Moisturising Toner (200ml) - £34

This toner works in synergy with Environ's face cream to assist better penetration of vitamins and other active ingredients - with a special ingredient 'Transcutol". Also it is mildly exfoliating and balancing pH with lactic acid. Great for all types of skin.

How to use: Use as a general toner, am & pm after cleaning the face.

AVST Hydrating Lotion (200ml) - £39.95

It is a treatment lotion can be used for both face & body. It contains lactic acid which exerts more properties of acid than AVST Moisturising Toner (due to higher amount). It is great for photo damage (rough surface etc), post acne scar, pigmentation, congestion/ acne and dry skin. Also it really works for dry and rough skin of heels and knees! It is a bit sticky texture and may cause a slight tingling sensation (to be aware). It is a lotion but can be replaced with AVST Moisturising Toner for both toner & lotion effect.

Lactic acid assists:

• Natural exfoliation
• Smoothes and softens 
• Hydrating
• Brightening
• Inhibits melanin production
• Increases penetration of vitamin A

How to use: Use with cotton pads. Starting with once a day then gradually increase to twice a day. It can be used continuously. Can be used throughout the year.

C-Quence Toner (200ml) - £ 45

It has a name 'toner' but it is really a treatment lotion. Like AVST Moisturising Toner, it assists a better penetration of active ingredient (Transcutol), but also contains peptide (Matrixyl) for a better collagen and elastin production. I have few fans of this item for a long period of time. 

Clarifying Lotion (100ml) - £34

This is a special lotion for hyper-pigmentation used only for the affected area (thus you need to use a toner for a whole face after cleansing before this lotion). Pigmentation is sometime not easy one to treat, but this lotion has a really good feedback! Niacinamide (vitamin B3) draws out pigmentation from melanocytes, and sepiwhite manage and control the amount of melanin. It has also transcutol to enhance the penetration of Environ face cream. 

Caution: As this lotion initially draw out the pigmentation, it will worsen the colour for a little white. It may cause a slight tingling sensation while application. 

How to use: It is better that your skin is already exposed to vitamin A for a little while before start using if you have a sensitive skin. Apply the lotion with fingertips on the individual areas, both am & pm. 

Contra indications: Roaccutane users, Retin A, irritated skin 

Alpha Toner Forte (200ml) - £ 39.95

It contains stronger acid than AVST Moisturising Toner, it is recommended for rough/ photo damage, textural problem and acne skin. It contains glycolic acid (not lactic acid).

Glycolic acid assists:

• Promoting exfolication
• Refine and smooth
• Supports acid mantle of the skin
• Minimise bacterial growth
• Helps penetration of vitamins

How to use: Start using after your skin is acclimated to mild level of vitamin A (lower level of Environ face cream). Use am & pm as a toner with cotton pads. Discontinue use once the result is achieved and replace with an appropriate toner.

Contra indications: Sensitive, irritated skin, Roaccutane users, caution with Retin A (consult the therapist)

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.
