  • Environ Skin Care Step up System

    environ avst step up system

    Environ Skin Care is a science based product range, designed to promote production of healthy skin, protect the skin from light exposure/environment toxins, and reduce the signs of aging.

    Dr Des Fernades is the creator of Environ, Dr Des is a surgeon and his philosophy on Vitamin A and skin is this "Aging skin is a direct result of Vitamin A deficiency caused by sunlight - correct the Vitamin A deficiency and you will have more radiant looking skin"

    The corner stone to Environ ingredients is Vitamin A.

    Environ Step up system introduces Vitamin A in low levels, and gradually increases levels of Vitamin A.

    The Environ Skin Essenta range begins with AVST Gel, followed by AVST Moisturisers 1 - 5.

    When the skin has come accustomed to the level, usually after 2-3 containers of each level, you then can proceed to the next level, we recommend consulting the guidance of professional therapists when moving through the levels.

  • Jane Hanna Skin #100DayReset Part III (Day 60-90)

    Skin Accumax Environ Jane Iredale Jane1 min

     

    #100DayReset Programme (Environ, Advanced Nutrition Programme, Jane Iredale)

    Part III of Jane Hanna's Story from Day 60 to 100 - Read on to see how Jane achieved amazing results so far!

     

    What can I say! What a journey! Jane has been up and down with her skin journey particularly during days 60 to 80! She did have a little breakout some days and I had advised Jane to come in for two more Environ Cool Peel Facials after her 6 course of Environ Cool Peel Facials previously. 

     

    As her pastules and pustules started to disappear, Jane was left with some acne marks. Acne marks are different to scars as they are not raised/pitted. They are flat, pigment marks and in Jane's case they were red in colour.  Jane was quite concerned about her acne marks, I explained to her that these will fade between 3 to 6 months after her breakout has disappeared.

     Skin Accumax Environ Jane Iredale Jane Side 1 min

    I explained to Jane that she should start taking Skin Omega+ capsules (Take two capsules a day) and Skin Vitamin Ctablets (Take one tablet a day) along with her Skin Accumax capsules as the essential fatty acids and the high strength of Vitamin C will strengthen her skin's immune system, and assist in reducing inflammation and redness of her skin. I also encouraged Jane to keep up her good work with her Environ Skincare regimes - Vitamin A will repair and normalise her skin cells and apply SPF everyday which will prevent the acne marks from becoming darker and shorten their stay on the skin.

    Here is the list of products that Jane is currently using

    * Environ Sebuwash

    * Environ Face & Body Oil

    * Environ Colustum Gel

    * Environ LACM 1

    * Environ RAD SPF 15

     Skin Accumax Environ Jane Iredale Jane Side 2 min

    We are going to let Jane explain her 100 Day Journey from Day 60 - 27th June 2017

     

    I was going on holidays on July and I was worried that going away and being in the sun I would not able to follow my skincare regime. I made sure I packed all my Advanced Nutrition Supplements, Environ Skincare Products and Jane Iredale Mineral Skincare Products with me.

     

    During the day I would leave my skin bare and just apply Environ RAD SPF 15 every few hours and make sure that  I wore a hat and stayed in the shade epsecially between 11am to 4pm.In the evening, I just applied my favourite Jane Iredale Mineral Pure Pressed Base Golden Glow with Jane Iredale Smooth Affair and made sure I spirtzed  my face with Jane Iredale Balance Hydration Spray a few times a day to keep my skin nourished, calm and hydrated.

     

    I strictly followed Emi's (my skincare therapist) advise -  Advanced Nutrition Programe, Environ Skincare and Jane Iredale Skin Care Make Up on holiday that when I came back from my holiday I felt I have new skin as my skin had improved dramatically clearer, so much healthy and the best part the spots have finally disappeared. I am so over the moon and I cant wait to tell Emi my amazing result!

     

    As each day goes, I am feeling more confident about my skin and myself!  My family and friends are complementing me so much that they makes me beam. I honestly cant believe how bad my skin was and how low I felt previously! I feel like such a different person now! My skin is rejunevated, brighter, healthy, glowing and I even noticed my pores are definitely smaller. I feel happy and healthy!

     

    Looking at the pictures and comparing them is like looking at two different people. I cant believe what a difference this has to my life and to me as a person! I just want to say thank you so much to Emi for helping me on #100 Day Journey and I truly believe by following the THREE PHILOSOPHY on FEED (Advanced Nutiriton Programme), FORTIFY (Environ Skincare) and FINISH (Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup) you will get achieve beautiful healthy skin!

  • My Top Tips On Keeping Your Pores Clear

     
    Blackheads are usually found in areas that produce excess oil and have enlarged pores i.e nose, chin, back and they are normally grey/black in colour at the top due to oil oxidation with the air. When squeezed, blackheads are firm like a plug and are formed by excessive oil production in the skin.
     
    Common cause could be due to not cleaning and exfoliating sufficiently, or doing so with an unsuitable skincare regime. These can include overly aggressive skincare products, such as harsh serums and over drying cleansers and exfoliators. Pores can become blocked and turn into blackheads if the right and correct skincare routine is not adhere to. 
     
    Tips on keeping your pores clear:

    *Skin Accumax Capsules- A food supplement which contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and DIMs which will help normalise your hormonal level which will assists in balancing your sebum production and secretion results in normal, clearly, flawless and healthy skin.
     
    * Environ Sebuprep Pre-Cleansing Oil - It an oil based cleanser contain salicylic acid and tea tree oil, which is essential for deep cleansing to help remove excess oil and environmental debris. Suitable for congested, oily and problem skin types
    * Environ Sebuwash - A foaming gel cleanser contains salicylic acid and tea tree oil, that gently removes excess oils and environmental debris without drying your skin.
     
     
    * Environ Sebutone - Its a medium strength toner containing lactic acid and salicylic as well as tea tree oil which will help smoothen the appearance of your skin and improve hydration.
     
     
    Environ Sebumasque - Its a clay based masque and contains salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and kaolin which helps to absorb excess surface oils and may also be used as micro-exfoliant. The Environ Sebumasque assists in improving the hydration of the skin.
    * Environ AVST 1 Moisturiser- The first Vitamin A moisturiser in the Environ Vitamin A Step-Up Programme.It contains Retinyl Palmitate, Vitamin C and antioxidants. Vitamin A is the single most important nutrients you could use on your skin. It is required to rejunevate skin and keep it healthy. This ultimate above skin nutrients normalise sebum production, evens out skin tone, reduces pigmentation spots, thickens skin, reduces the effect of scarring, lessens line and wrinkles and gives a healthy, radiant glow..
     
     
    * Environ RAD SPF 15 - Always protect your skin from UVA and UVB. Environ RAD SPF is can achieve superior protection against UVA and UVB because it contains 3 essential elements: 
     
     
    1. 1. Antioxidants - help minimise UV Ray damage that penetrates sunscreen filters.
    2. 2. Low chemical sunscreen - which absorb the radiation from UV rays, neutralising their damaging effects.
    3. 3. Reflectants such Titanium Dioxide - which reflects rays and scatter energy causing them to "bounce" off the skin.
     
     
    The good news is that you can keep your pores clear and appear less noticeable with the correct skincare regime!

  • Skin Cancer Awareness Month May 2019

    May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

    Ireland skin cancer rates have soared by 128% in the past 20 years!

    Skin cancer awareness month aims to raise awareness of the dangers of unprotected sun exposure and educate the public about the ways to prevent skin cancer.

    UV exposure from the sun is one of the main causes of skin cancer and also one of the most preventable. This campaign hopes to reduces instances skin cancer and increase the likelihood of early detection through education.

    Did you know Vitamin A is a UV defender?

    Dr Des Fernades, founder of Environ skincare recommends "antioxidants orally and topically, and also flags the photo-protective properties of Vitamin A. Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A) accumulates in the mid-epidermis and acts as an umbrella to protect the cells below by absorbing rays that would otherwise cause damage."

    Environ AVST 5 or Environ C-Quence 4 provides the equivalent fo SPF 20, but prolonged UV exposure breaks down topical Vitamin A, so it is important to take Vitamin A in supplement form and apply a sunscreen.

  • Skin Complete Supplement

    Feed your skin orally with Skin Complete supplement which comes in a dynamic duo packed full with Skin Vit A+, enriched with vitamin D, and Skin Antioxidant.

    This Confidence Booster supplement combined with Environ topically products will ensure your skin is nourished from the inside and out, repairs and protects skin and eventually presents beautiful skin.
