FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the root cause of unhealthy-looking skin?

It is scientifically shown that all skin abnormalities such as dark spots, uneven skin tone, breakouts, blemishes, dryness, sensitivity, ageing and dull-looking skin is caused by a vitamin A deficiency in these areas of the skin. Everyone, every day is exposed to UV light which depletes the natural stores of vitamin A. If you’re seeing these signs, it’s likely that your skin is deficient in this essential skin nutrient.

Environ’s Skin Care philosophy is based on putting back what life takes out of skin because vitamin A and other essential skin nutrients must be replaced daily for skin to appear healthier and more resilient. Vitamin A is scientifically proven to “communicate” with your skin’s cellular structure and normalise functioning. By topically applying effective doses of vitamin A through a daily moisturiser, it helps to rehabilitate, regenerate and restore damaged and unhealthy-looking skin.

Do all skin photo-types need vitamin A?

Yes! Vitamin A is the vital ingredient for all skin to be healthy-looking, and all skin needs vitamin A because everyone, every day is exposed to UV light. Vitamin A has an extraordinary ability to help normalise the functioning of skin and it’s been scientifically proven to improve skin conditions such as ageing, breakouts, uneven skin tone, rough texture, photo-damage (hyper-pigmentation) and in some cases even rosacea (which can affect darker skin too). By introducing Environ’s Original vitamin A moisturisers to your morning and evening routine, and then gradually stepping up to higher concentrations of vitamin A over time, you will enjoy the benefits of a rewarding life long journey to healthier-looking, resilient skin. Skin functioning will be normalised, cell differentiation will be improved, the integrity and structure of the skin will be strengthened, and its natural immunity will be supported. It’s safe to say that Environ’s Original Range is a skincare all-rounder, proven to deliver long term healthy-looking skin benefits!

How can you tell if your skin is deficient in vitamin A?

Dr Des Fernandes (Founder and Scientific Direct of Environ Skin Care) says, “Vitamin A is the greatest deficiency in the world. Normal, healthy-looking skin has the right levels of vitamin A. It’s an essential skin molecule that is found naturally in the skin. Every day, everyone is exposed to UV light and because vitamin A is light sensitive, it is destroyed in the skin which is the root cause of most skin abnormalities. What are the signs your skin needs Environ?

Light – medium skin phototypes

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Laxity and a thinning texture
  • Dehydration
  • Dryness  
  • Breakout-prone skin 
  • Hyper-pigmentation
  • Sensitivity

Medium – dark skin phototypes

  • Breakout-prone skin
  • Hyper-pigmentation (dark marks) 
  • Dullness
  • Sensitivity
Is vitamin A safe for all skin phototypes?
Yes! Definitely! All skin needs a daily replenishment of topical vitamin A to keep it in its healthiest state. The key is to work with a trained Skincare Professional because not all vitamin A / retinol ingredients are equal. An Environ Skincare Professional will guide you on the journey, starting first with a skincare consultation and then slowly introducing vitamin A in lower concentrations. The goal is to give your skin more and more of what it needs safely and effectively, so you will be guided to step-up to higher doses over a period of time as your skin builds up tolerance. Environ’s Original Range of vitamin A moisturisers and the Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM® makes it easy. Overuse, too fast and too soon can cause irritation of the skin which may cause temporary discomfort. Once the skin acclimatises, it returns to normal. Ready to start your journey to A-mazing skin? Find your nearest Environ Skincare Professional today.

What is the secret of Environ’s vitamin A skin science that makes a difference to skin?

At Environ, we believe in beautiful skincare and pioneering skin technology based on science, and science alone. We believe skin has a life and that vitamin A is the “oxygen” it needs to look healthy for life. Environ professional vitamin A skin science, developed by world renowned Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr Des Fernandes, include formulations that support our core philosophy, and this is to correct a chronic deficiency of vitamin A in all exposed areas of our skin.

Vitamin A is widely considered one of the most important ingredients in skincare because it is the only molecule that can actually assist in ‘normalising’ the functioning of skin cells, resulting in healthier-looking and more radiantly beautiful skin.

Cells need to be normalised to function effectively, and effectively functioning cells behave like younger, healthier cells.

Once your skin is acclimatised to using increasing doses of vitamin A, it will have a more balanced function, which assists in improving the appearance of many skin concerns such as breakouts, pigmentation, lack of firmness and radiance. The Original Range of vitamin A moisturisers are formulated with a scientifically effective combination of essential vitamins A, C and E and other potent antioxidants delivered to the skin in increasing concentrations known as the Environ Vitamin Step-Up System®. These rich vita- antioxidant formulas assist in minimising free radical damage, giving the skin a smoother more radiantly youthful appearance.

How to start and step-up to healthy-looking skin for life?

Science has proven that everyone who is exposed to UV light suffers from a vitamin A deficiency in their skin. The vitamin A receptors in the skin become sluggish and will need to be re-activated slowly with topical doses of vitamin A. The key is to start low and go slow to prevent a retinoid reaction (temporary sensitivity).

Environ’s Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM® allows the skin to become gradually more comfortable with increasing levels of vitamin A and other beneficial ingredients which your skin needs. The key is to start, step-up and stay committed to see and feel the best results.

  • Begin with a Professional Skincare Consultation with a trained Environ Skincare Professional who will guide you on the exciting journey to the best results. 
  • Start on level 1: Introduce Original Debut Moisturiser (Cream) or Original Moisture Gel (Gel) as your vitamin A moisturiser morning and evening after cleansing and toning. Using 2 – 3 tubes will ensure your skin is comfortable to progress to level 2.
  • Step-Up to level 2 (Mild Day and Night Moisturiser). You will use 2 – 3 tubes until your skin is comfortable before stepping up to the third level.
  • Stay committed on the Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM® until you reach level 4 (Ultra Day and Night Moisturiser) which contains the highest and most effective doses of vitamin A, C, E and other healthy skin nutrients.

Why can’t I start at level 4?
All skin is vitamin A deficient. It is, therefore, imperative to start low and go slow to ensure that the vitamin A skin cell receptors are restored before moving on to higher levels of vitamin A. You want to avoid the possibility of transient retinoid reactions. Environ’s unique Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM® was developed to prevent the unpleasant side effects (redness, flaking, mild breakouts, skin discomfort) of retinoid reactions. This is why it is very important to consult with a Skincare Professional and follow the philosophy “Start Low, Go Slow”. Ready? Get glowing.

How long before I see results?
Results speak for Environ, nothing else. Some clients will notice changes within a few days of starting a daily skincare routine with the Original vitamin A moisturiser used day and night. Real, lasting improvement takes time and commitment.

Verified Client reviews:

After a month of using the Environ Original range I can see a change to the look and feel of my skin. My skin concerns were dark circles and uneven skin tone. My dark circles are visibly reducing, and my skin tone is evening out.

After only 1 week my skin feels smoother, the texture I had on the sides of my cheekbones (rash like) has almost disappeared, and I wake up in the mornings with a hydrated face.

I couldn't be happier with the results.

Where do I begin! Using this range over the last 8 weeks has transformed my skin like never before. My three favourite products were undoubtedly the Pre-Cleanser, the Balancing Masque and the Debut Moisturiser. What I loved most about this range was the simplicity. Simple packaging, and fuss-free, uncomplicated formulas that focus on proliferation of healthy skin cells with the help of vitamin A.

Why there is no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to your skin?

Real results take time. UV light is ever-present, which depletes the skin’s natural stores of vitamin A – every day, meaning all skin will show the signs of damage eventually. Considering that it can take years for this cumulative damage to become visible, it is unrealistic to expect real lasting results to happen overnight. Instead, Environ has consistently shown that the committed use of effective formulations that contain powerful ingredients, supported with Environ professional facial treatments makes the results worth the wait – your determination will be rewarded. The signature Environ glow is real. Ready to start your journey?

What are the 3 different ways to use the Original Balancing Masque?

1. Use it as a micro-exfoliant that offers smoothing and polishing benefits.

How to use: apply the Balancing Masque in a moderate layer and massage gently to smooth and polish a rough skin texture.  The Kaolin Clay is a micro-exfoliating granule that absorbs excess oils, leaving the skin feeling smooth, balanced and radiant.

2. Use it as a balancing masque to promote moisturising and oil absorbing benefits.

How to use: after cleansing with your preferred Original Cleanser, apply the Balancing Masque in a moderate layer and leave for 20 minutes. Vitamin E and Pro-vitamin B5 assists to boost the benefits of hydration, while Kaolin assists to absorb excess oils, leaving the skin surface feeling balanced and comfortable.

3. Use it as an overnight hydrating masque for intense hydration benefits.

How to use: after applying your recommended Original vitamin A evening moisturiser, apply the Balancing Masque in an even, thin layer and leave on over-night to lock-in moisture and enhance the benefits of your vitamin A moisturiser. Rinse with tepid water in the morning.

How does Environ’s Original Vitamin A Skin Science help normalise the appearance of oily skin and occasional breakouts?

Hormonal imbalances, diet, stress and extreme climate conditions are some of the factors that can cause the skin to produce excess oil, however, it is scientifically shown that excess sebum secretion can also be the root cause of a vitamin A deficiency in the skin. Vitamin A is known to be one of the most important skincare ingredients to normalise the functioning and for the skin to appear healthy-looking. A deficiency in this essential skin nutrient, may manifest as oiliness because sebaceous glands are not properly controlled.

Sebum or oil is actually vital for keeping skin healthy-looking and hydrated, however, too much can lead to other skin conditions such as clogged pores and occasional breakouts. The Original Range of vitamin A moisturisers (available in 4 concentrations) are formulated with increasing doses of vitamin A and other essential skin nutrients to help regulate oil secretion and support healthy skin immunity.

For balanced and clear-looking skin, Environ recommends a skincare routine that includes the daily application of your recommended Original vitamin A moisturiser, diligent morning and evening skin cleansing and proper removal of makeup. Find your nearest Environ Skincare Professional to start and step up to healthy-looking skin for life.

What is the root cause of premature ageing in the skin?

Virtually every symptom and sign of photo-ageing in the skin is caused by a localised deficiency of vitamin A, which has been robbed from the skin by UV light that is scientifically shown to destroy it. The signs may include fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, thinning skin, dryness, uneven skin tone as well as a loss of radiance and firmness.

To future proof the skin, one must correct the vitamin A deficiency every day. Environ’s Original Range of potent vitamin A moisturisers are formulated with increasing doses of Retinyl Palmitate, vitamin C, E and other essential nutrients scientifically shown to help normalise the functioning of skin and influence skin cells to behave in a younger, healthier way. As the skin becomes more comfortable with vitamin A, and slowly gets used to higher and higher levels, skin will appear more firm and youthfully radiant as a result of vitamin A’s extraordinary ability to promote healthy collagen and elastin formation.

Healthy, youthful-looking skin starts here. Start, step up and stay committed to younger-looking skin for life with Environ’s proven Original Vitamin A Skin Science.

FIND A SKINCARE PROFESSIONAL
Can vitamin A correct the signs of dark spots and uneven skin tone?

Yes! Dark spots, hyper-pigmentation and uneven skin tone can be caused by hormonal fluctuations and even genetics, but it’s mostly as a result of UV light exposure. When skin cells are damaged through repetitive, prolonged sun exposure, they can become chronically deficient in essential vitamin A. This is the vital skin nutrient that:

  • controls the skin cells’ healthy functioning and the production of melanin (the molecule responsible for the skin’s colour)
  • stabilises the distribution of pigmentation in the skin.

Even, radiant-looking skin requires a well-balanced combination of essential ingredients like vitamin A and potent antioxidants to be replenished daily. Environ’s Original Range of vitamin A moisturisers put back what life takes out one level at a time. The industry-leading Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM®, Environ’s pioneering Vitamin A Skin Science, helps skin become gradually more comfortable with increased levels of essential ingredients needed to keep skin looking healthy and even for life.

Why doesn’t Environ have a granular scrub?

Environ does not recommend harsh, granular scrubs, rather, an intelligent approach to micro-exfoliation that promotes the natural desquamation process while supporting the skin’s protective barrier function. Most people believe that the surface of the skin is composed of dead, useless cells that make the skin look dull, preventing it from “breathing” and clogging up the follicles. The truth is, that these “dead” cells are in fact the mature functional cells of the skin. They are there for a special purpose – to protect the skin from harmful environmental conditions.

Dr Des Fernandes, Founder and Scientific Director of Environ has always said that there are serious and widespread misconceptions around the benefits of exfoliation. “Over-exfoliation of healthy skin is likely to interfere with the normal physiology of the skin. It means increased exposure to environmental toxins and free radicals as well as dehydration. Not only that, but the inevitable exposure to light makes the skin more likely to become photo-damaged”, says Dr Fernandes.

Environ’s Original Balancing Masque offers multi-functional benefits of smoothing and hydrating without harsh exfoliation. Find out more about this essential skin prep product to include on the journey to healthy-looking skin for life.
