Environ® Skincare Products

After extensive investigation into the latest skincare ranges, the decision was clear and we are proud to introduce the Environ® range to our skincare treatment collection.

The Environ® skin care range was first formulated as a result of studies in south africa by Dr. Fernandes into the mechanisms of skin healing. The introduction of vitamin a into the formulation of skin care products heralded a new era in the treatment of sun-damaged skin.

Although some cosmetic houses were using very low doses of vitamin a in their skin care products in the 1980s, Dr. Fernandes, a prominent cape town plastic surgeon, was the first person in the world to introduce intense vitamin a treatment in high effective doses with startling results. This range established Environ® as a leader in skin care treatments with fans around the world.

The Environ® Range

As we get older, more intensive treatment is required to treat the signs of ageing, pollution and the sun. Daily treatment using the Environ® range will help reduce and delay the signs of photo-ageing.

Environ® skin care products have been formulated to combat the harmful effects of the harsh climatic changes of today’s environment, specifically pollution and ever-increasing doses of radiation from the sun due to the thinning of the protective ozone layer.

Environ® products offer a definite regime to nourish, protect and maintain a healthy, youthful and beautiful skin. Each product is made from the highest quality ingredients. They are mostly free from fragrance, preservatives, colourants and animal extracts.

Avst Advanced Vitamin Skin Therapy Range

In addition to vitamin a, c, e and beta carotene, Avst also contains powerful and effective antioxidants and flavonoids ensuring a potent mix of protective, restorative and healing nutrients for the skin. The range of moisturisers provides a stepped approach with increasing concentrations of active ingredients to provide more intense treatment as your skin becomes accustomed to the formula

• Avst 1 – the introductory product, intended for sensitive skins or first time users of vitamin a
• Avst 2 – the next step to building up to medium levels of vitamins a and c, suitable for those who have already acclimitised to avst 1
• Avst 3 – 3rd stage product containing moderately high levels of vitamin a and c for those who have acclimitised to avst 2
• Avst 4 – this product contains high levels of vitamin a and c for those people who have progressed through avst 1, 2 and 3
• Avst 5 – this avst 5 contains ultra high levels of vitamin a (retinyl palmitate and retinyl acetate) and c (ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate) for those clients who wish to achieve even greater results

It is important to progress through the levels as going straight into concentrated vitamins (i.e. higher levels) can cause a reaction. This treatment regime produces amazing results. See below the results after 5 years on the Environ avst moisturiser plan – the skin looks younger, fresher and tighter!
