Gold-toned derma roller with black handle and green translucent head on acrylic tray for cosmetic microneedling use

How to Use a Cosmetic Microneedling Roller

Are you wondering if using a cosmetic microneedling roller will make a difference in the appearance of your skin? The answer is yes!  It’s clinically documented that using a cosmetic roller can safely help to reveal a wide range of textural improvements to the appearance of your skin. Another big benefit to cosmetic rolling is that it’s safe for even dark skin types (which are high on the Fitzpatrick scale). Here’s a closer look at how using a cosmetic roller can help to enhance the look of your skin. HOW A COSMETIC ROLLER WORKS A roller or a stamping device uses tiny needles to create microscopic channels on the surface of skin. These channels also help to enhance your skin’s reception of results-driven skin care formulas, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the products. WHAT A COSMETIC MICRONEEDLING ROLLER DOES The result of all this enhanced product efficacy is the look of smoother texture, smaller pore size, and a wide range of other benefits to the appearance of skin.  HOW TO USE A COSMETIC SKIN ROLLER EFFECTIVELY Cleanse your skin Place the roller on your forehead and roll vertically over the forehead and eyebrow area until the entire area has been treated two to five times in a vertical direction.  Roll obliquely (diagonally) over the same area two to five times. Roll horizontally for two to five times.  Continue to roll over all other areas of the face and neck, rolling vertically at first, then obliquely, then horizontally until you have thoroughly treated your entire face and neck. Tip: Three to five minutes is usually sufficient for treating your entire face and neck. Apply your recommended Environ Skin Care products immediately afterward, while your skin is freshly treated and primed for maximum product effectiveness.

Help for Dehydrated Winter Skin!

Red, flaky and irritated are three words that winter skin knows all too well. Blame it on the low humidity, dry indoor heat and frigid weather, all of which wreak havoc on skin, leaving your vulnerable dermis looking dull and dehydrated. If a dreary winter complexion is bringing you down, it’s time to take a closer look at your skin care routine. Without knowing it, you could be adding insult to injury by applying irritating products to your skin. Here’s what to do and what to avoid to rescue and repair the look of dry winter skin: Use Skin Care Products That Hydrate Examine your current skin care products. Do any contain alcohol, perfumes or exfoliating beads? These ingredients can strip vital moisture and may aggravate dry, vulnerable skin. It’s time to switch gears and embrace ultra-gentle formulations, focused on restoring the effects of hydration and balance to your skin with clinically-backed, synergistic blends of ultra-hydrating and soothing ingredients. Focus Care Moisture+ Vita-Complex Super Moisturiser is a powerful hydrator formulated with lanolin, rosemary leaf extract, vitamin C, E, and B5 to comfort and soothe the feel of irritated skin. You can pair this dynamic moisturizer, which is packed with vitamins and emollients, with your results-driven serums to keep your skin looking balanced and refreshed. The Focus Care Moisture+ range also features HA Intensive Hydrating Serum, which contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), a known powerful moisture magnet, Vita-Antioxidant Hydrating Oil Capsules and Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream for revealing the look of intensely hydrated, radiant skin. Your Skin Can Be Too Clean If your skin looks red and flaky, it’s screaming for some TLC, and fast. Give your tired skin a break by cutting out harsh cleansers, toners and exfoliants from your routine. Contrary to popular belief, a squeaky clean complexion is not the key to a radiant glow. Rather, your skin is at its best when its natural moisture barrier has been kept intact. You can maintain the benefits of your skin’s natural moisture barrier by using Environ cleansers which are formulated to remove surface impurities without stripping your dermis of essential oils. Your Environ stockist can help you pick the perfect products to help you maintain your unique complexion goals. Protect Your Skin From The Damaging Effects Of The Sun Be honest — are you applying sunscreen daily? Even in the winter, when the days are shorter and the rays are weaker, the sun remains your skin’s most powerful enemy. Environ RAD Sunscreen SPF 30 provides both UVA and UVB protection as well as a unique phyto-complex for neutralizing the effects of environmental stressors.  Our Environ stockists are passionate about restoring the appearance of your skin this winter!

How to Create a 2020 Skin Care Detox Routine

Happy New Year! After a hectic holiday season packed with sugary sweets, late nights and countless other complexion saboteurs, we bet your skin is in dire need of a little extra TLC right about now. So we have to ask: when was the last time you gave your skin a detox? Be honest — have you EVER treated your skin to a detox regimen? Did you know you should be detoxing your skin every day? No worries! January is a perfect time to commit to a new skin care routine! Last month, we explored what a detox skin care routine should look like, so here’s a refresher course (pun intended!) for bringing out your best complexion in 2020 and beyond: The Correct Order To Apply Skin Care Products Your personal stash of skin care formulas, which you have acquired under the expert guidance of your Environ stockist, is based on your unique skin care concerns and goals. Even though your skin care is unique to you, the skin care directions are not! In other words, there’s a method to the madness when it comes to applying medical-grade skin care products, which should be applied in a specific order to maximize their effectiveness and ability to protect and enhance the appearance of your skin. Take stock of the products you have in your cabinet and organize them according to the order they will be applied. Every morning: 1) cleanse and tone your skin, which is essentially cleaning your slate, so to speak, setting up your skin for maximum effectiveness of the next product, which is 2) a serum of your choice, depending on your unique skin concerns. Step 3) applying a moisturizer, especially during the dry winter months when your skin is prone to flakiness and irritation. Your final steps should include 4) applying your antioxidant and vitamin-based skin care product of choice and 5) applying your sunscreen last. Sunscreen is always last; this protective layer literally shields your skin from the effects of damaging sun and other environmental hazards like pollution. Best Basic Skin Care Rules Just like you, your skin needs encouragement to do its job from time to time. To further help your skin along by adding the following to your plan: Exfoliating at least once a week to remove surface dead, dull skin. Exfoliation essentially makes room for healthy new skin while also triggering your skin to appear more youthful-looking. Sleeping seven to nine hours per night. Sleep is vital to the health and appearance of your skin! In fact, your skin is most active at healing and regenerating itself while you sleep. This is also why you should apply results-driven serums before bed, to maximize their efficacy while you snooze. Drinking eight glasses of water to stay hydrated. Eating plenty of fruits and veggies. A colorful diet helps your skin as much as your body by providing a balance of vital nutrients which feed and replenish your dermis from the inside out. There are apps you can download to remind you to drink water, go to sleep on time, and track your eating habits. Visit Your Environ Stockist. If you’re experiencing dull, lackluster skin, it may be time to mix up your skin care routine or adjust certain lifestyle choices. A visit with your skin care professional, who has extensive product knowledge and training, will go the distance to help you achieve your skin care goals with comfort and ease.

Hydrate Your Winter Skin!

If you’re starting to feel more crocodile than cuddle bug this winter, your skin is in dire need of a hydration boost! Faced by a daily onslaught of harsh winter elements and dry indoor heat, your skin can quickly become parched, dehydrated, and irritated. Fortunately, the look of radiant, supple skin is within your reach this winter by simply adding more hydrating products to your skin care regimen.  Here are a few hydrating tips to help replenish and revitalize the look of your skin all winter long!  How To Wash Your Face In The Winter What you use to wash your skin, in the coldest months of the year, is just as important as the skin care products you put on it. We recommend a pre-cleanser that lifts and removes excess surface oil and debris, followed by a moisturizing mild cleanser for a fresh clean feel that doesn’t overstrip and disrupt the benefits of your skin’s natural pH balance. It’s important to choose a face wash that is formulated to remove makeup and surface impurities while preserving the benefits of the skin’s natural acid mantel. Look for cleansing products containing Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil. Key skin-soothing ingredients include pro-vitamin B5, a highly effective moisturizer that helps to calm the look of redness, olive oil PEG-7 Ester, a natural humectant, and hydrolysed oats. TIP: To help prime the skin for your moisturizer, add a botanical infused moisturizing toner with a blend of extracts including: Sage, Yarrow, Mother of Thyme, Chamomile, Rosemary and Marshmallow. Super Moisturizer For Dry Skin Day in, day out, the unforgiving cold and relentless indoor heat zap moisture from your skin, so it’s vital to replace the effects of this lost moisture and get ahead of the vicious dehydrating cycle with daily moisturizer application. When added to your regular skin care routine, super moisturizers will deliver a concentrated burst of vitamin-enriched hydration. During the day, and perfect for under your makeup, are oil capsules to help create a smooth canvas for your foundation to glide over, and these little gems may also protect your skin from the damaging effects of free radicals! Other replenishing products to consider adding to your skin care shelf this winter include: a serum containing a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, the body’s natural moisture magnet, which is scientifically proven to hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water; and a powerful moisturizing night cream, a couple of evenings per week, to help improve the appearance of textural problems associated with dehydration. Our stockists are here to guide and help you discover the ideal hydrating formulations for the look and feel of your skin! Find your local Environ stockist today by calling 877.337.6227.

2020 Skin Detox Routine

The New Year is about fresh starts, so why not make 2020 your year to hit the refresh button on your complexion? A skin detox can help to give your skin a fresh, clean appearance all year by flushing out the effects of impurities, free-radicals, and debris to reveal a healthier-looking foundation. While you may be too busy to do a skin detox right now, it's a great time to create a detox plan and pick up all the products you need while you are doing your holiday shopping! 2020 Skin Detox Routine Cleanse and tone morning and evening Apply serums first, then moisturizers Apply antioxidant and vitamin based skin care products that focus on your skin concerns Apply sunscreen every day Gently exfoliate at least once per week Get 7-9 hours of sleep per night Drink 8 glasses of water per day Eat a power-packed diet Here are just a few key, clinically proven skin-detox ingredients to look for: Kaolin ClayClay draws out impurities from the skin, helping to reduce excess surface oil and control shine. We recommend incorporating a kaolin clay mask into your skin care regimen. Green TeaGreen tea is considered to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits according to a 2018 study. HoneybushGrown in South Africa, Honeybush is considered to help boost the benefits of the following: immunity, detoxify the body, increase metabolism, and can assist in improving the appearance of pigmentation. Neem leafIn a 2013 article, the authors conclude that humankind has been using neem oil to treat a multitude of ailments and chronic skin conditions throughout history, including breakouts and eczema. It has also been used in cosmetics to help clear, beautify, and rejuvenate the look of the skin for centuries. Vitamin C and APowerhouse vitamin C is featured in skin care products because it’s a scientifically proven skin protector and revitalizer. Vitamin C is known to destroy the effects of damaging free-radicals which contribute to the formation of wrinkles, dullness, and premature aging. Vitamin C is also an established skin brightener. A combination of vitamins C and A can work synergistically to combat the visible signs of aging and reveal the look of more evenly-toned, smoother, and healthier-looking skin. TIP: The perfect 2020 skin detox plan begins with a commitment to focus on self-care details every day. If you have problematic or lackluster skin, in addition to our 2020 Skin Detox Routine, consider tweaks to your sleep, diet, and water consumption. Your Skin Needs SleepAccording to the National Sleep Foundation, while getting your beauty sleep, “…your body delivers fluids to organs and tissues that need replenishing, while removing excess fluids from other areas.” Not getting enough sleep can cause pockets of fluid under the eyes, otherwise known as “bags.”  The sleep-deprived, can also suffer from an increase in inflammation and hormones, which can exacerbate skin conditions such as breakouts, rosacea, and eczema. The average adult should set a sleep goal of seven to nine hours every night. Water Helps Skin Stay HydratedYou’ve heard it before, aim for 8 glasses of water a day. Drinking water helps to flush waste and toxins, regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, and protects tissue. Without proper water intake, dehydration can occur. Dehydration can cause malfunctions, lack of energy, and dull appearance. Good Food For Healthy-Looking SkinFoods with plenty of antioxidants and nutrients will help your body with detoxification, too. A fiber-rich diet high in Vitamin A, C, and E has been shown to help support a healthy immune system and aid in digestion. Try to include sweet potatoes, leafy greens, tomatoes, avocados, salmon, nuts and seeds, berries, and olive oil as a regular part of your daily menu. What should you avoid? SUGAR! We can’t wait to help you focus on your skin in 2020! Visit your local Environ stockist for more detox tips and tricks by calling 877.337.6227 today!

Holiday Rosacea Skin Care Guide

Red rosy cheeks sure look festive on Santa, but for those that suffer from the common skin condition known as rosacea, a good skin care plan, focused on protection, will help keep the skin merry and bright.While there’s no known cure for rosacea (yet!), experts agree that prevention and maintenance is key. Here are a few tips for minimizing the appearance of rosacea flare-ups over the holidays.Rosacea-Prone Skin Care GuideHaving healthy-looking skin should be the primary goal of any skin care routine. Using a mild cleanser and moisturizer every day is essential. Look for complementary targeted products to add to your routine that are anti-inflammatory and soothing for the feel of the skin. Ingredients such as colostrum, green tea, vitamins A, C, E, and B5 are excellent choices to help relieve the look of rosacea.Avoid Rosacea TriggersDuring the winter and festive season, managing your exposure to triggers can be challenging. For some, it’s hot beverages like coffee and tea, for others it’s red wine or cocktails, or all of the above! The most well-known triggers for rosacea include spicy foods, alcohol, heat, sun exposure, and stress. Do your best to avoid known triggers while celebrating. But you should also be mindful of the ingredients in your skin and hair care products. Stay away from astringents and toners, which can strip your skin of essential oils and aggravate rosacea. Also, be sure to limit topical products with alcohol, camphor, menthol, and sodium lauryl sulfate. Diagnosing RosaceaAt some point, visiting your dermatologist, who will properly diagnose your symptoms is recommended because redness isn’t always the result of rosacea. If the skin looks red and dry or feels rough and irritated, the skin’s immunity is most likely compromised. Other possible culprits for your symptoms include acne, eczema, or atopic dermatitis. There are prescriptions and topical products that can help calm the look and feel of the skin and promote the benefits of a healthy acid mantle. Of course, quality skin care products should be part of the plan. Visit an Environ Skin Care stockist and ask about Environ Focus Care Comfort+ product line. Our stockists are ready to help you find the ideal skin care plan for your unique needs. Please call 877.337.6227 today to find an Environ stockist near you!

Thankful skin care routine text on a blurred autumn leaves background reflecting thankfulness on your skin

Thankfulness Reflects On Your Skin

According to researchers, having an attitude of gratitude can have a huge positive impact on your life — and it also does wonders for your complexion. Numerous studies have shown how positivity can lower stress, help maintain healthy hormone levels, and reduce inflammation, all of which are good for your skin. Although it’s not always easy to feel thankful, especially during this busy time of year when you have a mile-long to-do list of holiday errands, smile... think happy thoughts... and the rest will happen naturally! TIP: During your morning and evening skin care routine, instead of running through your daily checklist, think about a few things you are thankful for. To help you incorporate more gratitude into your life (so you can show up for every occasion looking and feeling merry and bright), here is a thankful skin care routine with research-backed tips, adopted from a story in Harvard Health Publishing: You can project a positive radiance by: Keeping a gratitude journal One study compared three groups who were asked to journal every week about a specific topic: one group wrote about things they were grateful for; another journaled about daily irritations, and a third, neutral group was asked to write about things that affected them, either good or bad. After 10 weeks, the thankful group felt more optimistic and better about their lives. They also exercised more and had fewer visits to the doctor than the group that focused on sources of aggravation. Thanking someone mentally or verbally Don’t have time to journal? Start thanking people mentally and verbally. Saying thank you helps you feel happier while also nurturing your relationships with others. Counting your blessings Any time of day or night, simply reflecting on the things you are grateful for will help you to lower stress, elevate your spirits, and boost your energy. It’s simply a matter of habit. When you find yourself complaining, force yourself to think of one thing for which you are grateful. It’s that simple! Meditating Gandhi knew what he was talking about. Mindfulness meditation involves focusing on the present moment without judgment. Research indicates that being mindful has mega health benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, regulating your emotions, reducing chronic pain, improving sleep and gastrointestinal issues, and more. Practice a thankful skin care routine As skin care experts, we’re focused on your skin health, of course! Taking care of your skin is more vital than ever during hectic times like the holidays. (We all know how much havoc stress wreaks on our skin!) So, maybe it’s time to rethink your skin care routine. As you’re gently washing off your day, it’s a perfect time to reflect and take stock of all the things you’re thankful for and let the stress go down the drain. Your skin will thank you for it! From all of us at Environ, we wish you a happy and beautiful Thanksgiving! To find an Environ stockist near you, call 877.337.6227.

Hydrate While You Hibernate

We all love to cozy up by the fireplace during the winter months, but all that dry indoor heat can wreak havoc on your complexion — not to mention if you suffer from eczema, itchy clothing and sudden temperature changes (like coming into a warm house after being outside) can trigger symptoms.   Signs of dehydrated skin include: Thick, rough texture of the skin Flaking skin around the nose and on the forehead Fine cracks in the skin If your skin is feeling as parched as a potato, it’s time to amp up your skin’s hydration ASAP with expert moisturizing techniques and products, including: Hyaluronic acid Healthy skin contains moisture and a natural waterproofing barrier. To help preserve the benefits of this barrier, we recommend using products containing hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally-occurring moisture magnet in the body that helps skin retain their moisture and elasticity. HA works marvelously as a moisturizing agent. Just a single gram of HA holds up to six liters of water, or up to 1000 times its weight in water! Best of all, HA is safe and suitable for all skin types. Avoiding long, hot showers Try short, warm showers (seriously!) and moisturize immediately afterward to lock in moisture when your skin is damp, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Other tips from AAD for relieving dry skin include avoiding deodorant soaps, alcohol-based toners, and fragranced products, which can all irritate dry, sensitive skin. Winter Skin Care Routine Just like your wardrobe, your skin care needs change with the seasons. What works perfectly in August may not fly in the dry heat of January. If you suffer from chronically dry skin every winter, it’s time to adopt a proactive approach and incorporate moisturizing products into your skin care routine well before winter strikes. Heeding the adage that it’s much easier to maintain moisture than to replace it, our Environ Skin Care ranges are expertly formulated to hydrate and replenish the appearance of your skin while preserving the effects of the natural moisture barrier, so your skin can get all the nutrients and moisture it needs without feeling weighed down and greasy. Discover the best products for you skin this winter by calling 877.337.6227 to find an Environ stockist near you!

What's Really Behind Healthy-Looking Skin

Having healthy skin goes so much deeper than how it looks on the surface. In recognition of National Healthy Skin Month, we thought we would take the opportunity to share a few skin care insights from our researchers to help you achieve hydrated, healthy-looking skin all year long: Be gentle to your natural skin mantle Behind every healthy and vibrant complexion is a fully intact natural acid mantle, which sounds a bit strange, but it merely refers to a protective layer of your skin which helps to lock in moisture and nutrients while keeping environmental toxins out. Your job is protecting this natural acid mantle by avoiding overzealous scrubbing with harsh cleansers and exfoliating agents, which can strip your skin and undermine its integrity. When the waterproofing barrier is damaged, moisture is no longer retained in the skin, resulting in dehydrated skin that feels dry, tight, and irritated. Ultimately, skin becomes thin and compromised, leaving it vulnerable to environmental stressors such as sunlight, cold, heat, various chemicals, and pollution.  It's never too late to have healthy-looking skin If you’ve overdone it and your skin is parched, dull, and drab, it’s never too late to restore your skin to a vibrant, balanced state. Your first step is wearing a physical sunscreen every day of the year to protect your skin from UV rays, your skin’s #1 enemy. Limit face washing to twice a day in the morning and evening and apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer immediately following your cleansing to help seal in moisture. Whether you are prone to breakouts or suffer from dry, tight skin, scientifically proven, results-driven skin care formulations suit a wide range of skin types, and skin care professionals are at the ready to help you find the ideal products for your skin. Skin care is a rewarding journey As they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Your skin is constantly under construction, so it can take months to fully see the benefits of your skin's journey to a vibrant, balanced appearance. Diligent, proactive skin care is key, applying your carefully chosen skin care products on a daily basis. But beyond that, taking a “hands off” approach is wise. In other words, avoid picking, scrubbing, and fussing with your skin. If you treat your skin tenderly, you should start to notice improvements in no time! Call 877.337.6227 today to find an Environ stockist near you who can help you discover the optimal Environ skin care formulations for you.

Boo-tiful Skin Care Made Easy!

For skin that looks so good it’s scary, why not throw your own mask-erade party this Halloween season? Halloween is the perfect excuse to treat your dermis to a revitalizing face mask. After all, it’s the one day of the year when you can answer your door, smothered ear-to-ear with a face mask, without worrying what your neighbors might think!  Here are the highlights of three results-driven facial masks by Environ®, and why they need to be added (pronto!) to your at-home skin care arsenal. If you’re dying to enhance the overall look and feel of your skin, Environ’s Tri Bio-Botanical Revival Masque from our Focus Care Youth+ range is a perfect place to start. Formulated with ingredients to impart a smoother, younger look and radiance to your complexion, this revitalizing mask is packed with three types of scientifically researched and studied acid: lactic acid for the look of hydration and brightening, asiatic acid for the appearance of radiance, and mandelic acid for fading the look of pigmentation spots. Best of all, the Revival Masque can be adjusted to your skin’s tolerance level. For example, you’ll start by applying the mask for only 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm, tepid water, and gradually building up to 20-minute increments. After your skin fully adjusts to the mask, you can apply it overnight when you feel like you need a boost. Another versatile mask is our Hydrating Clay Masque from the Skin EssentiA® range. This mask is designed to absorb excess surface oils and exfoliate dead skin, leaving the appearance of a smoother and more radiant-looking complexion. You can use this mask every day as a micro-exfoliant, as a 20-minute hydrating mask, or as an overnight mask. If dull, aging, zombie-like skin is bringing you down, we recommend Environ’s Ionzyme C-Quence Energising Masque, formulated to help soften the look of fine lines while energizing the feel of the skin and revealing a more even-looking skin tone. The C-Quence Masque features a synergistic combination of ascorbic acid and salicylic acid. And best of all, the look of your skin will improve with every mask you do! Don’t be scared — once you start masking, your friends will be dying to know why your skin looks so full of life! To find your ideal mask and your local Environ stockist, call 877.337.6227 today.
