DIY Exfoliation Skin Care Secrets

Everyone wants to achieve a radiant, healthy-looking complexion, and everyone seems to have a different skin care “secret” for achieving it! But if you truly want results, it’s time to listen to the skin care experts who have been hard at work researching proven ingredients and skin care regimens for decades.The verdict is in, and skin care experts agree that to bring out your best-looking skin at every age, you’ll need to incorporate DIY exfoliation into your at-home skin care routine. While nothing can take the place of a professional skin treatment, following-up with an exfoliation product between visits will help to enhance and prolong your results. However, not all DIY exfoliation is created equal! Here's some expert advice for exfoliating your skin at home so you can achieve a complexion that looks and feels glowing, not irritated and inflamed.Do No HarmWhen it comes to caring for your skin, the surest way to bring out its best is by preserving the benefits of its pH and natural acid mantel. If all this skin care lingo is confusing, no worries! All it means is that your skin requires a gentle touch, and you can do this by avoiding harsh drug store scrubs and chemical exfoliation products, which too often do more damage than good by stripping away essential oils and irritating the skin’s delicate surface.Scientifically Researched Skin Care Ingredients Adding gentle DIY exfoliation to your skin care routine 2-3 times per week, in between visits to the medspa, will help maintain your professional treatments. Look for exfoliating products that replenish the benefits of hydration and essential nutrients while gently removing surface dead skin. In simpler terms, formulas to replenish while removing debris, striking the perfect balance for healthy-looking, protected skin. Kaolin clay is the secret ingredient. Kaolin is very absorbent and one of the most gentle clays. Kaolin doesn't strip the skin of natural oils, yet draws out the impurities. This makes it an excellent cleanser and exfoliator in skin care products. Working With Skin Care ProfessionalsIt’s an exciting time for skin care. Thanks to amazing advancements in laser skin rejuvenation, skin care professionals can improve the harmful effects of years of sun damage and aging in only a few treatments. However, what you do when you leave the spa can make all the difference. Another secret to beautiful-looking skin is being proactive at home. Ask your skin care adviser for take home skin care products formulated to provide enhanced benefits, that will work synergistically with professional treatments, to boost and maintain your results between appointments.Environ’s skin care ranges are clinically-proven to provide dramatic results on their own, or together with professional procedures and treatments!

Faced With Eczema? Proven Skin Care Tips

Dry, flaky, itchy, irritated skin...If you suffer from eczema, you know how uncomfortable — even agonizing — it can be to manage the symptoms of chronic skin inflammation.Though the exact cause of eczema remains unknown, according to the National Eczema Association, researchers suspect that genetics and environmental triggers play a big part. An immune dysfunction can result in a defect in the skin’s moisture barrier making it dryer and more sensitive to irritants. Since a well-known eczema trigger is dryness, excessive cleansing should be avoided.Based on science and results, Environ’s founder, Dr. Des Fernandes, is on a lifelong mission to help heal and nurture the look of skin with the highest quality of proven ingredients. Here are a few research-backed tips for improving the look of eczema and encouraging your skin’s natural radiance.Use A Gentle CleanserWhen washing your face and body, stick with a mild, gentle cleanser that’s free from harsh dyes and perfumes, which can irritate sensitive skin. There are gentle cleansers for every skin type imaginable. Look for products containing special ingredients that assist in enhancing the effects of the waterproofing function of the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Products packed with moisturizers and emollients will help moisturize the skin while cleansing, leaving a velvety-soft feeling to your skin with every wash.Don’t Dry Out Your SkinKeep the water temperature luke-warm, easy does it, and don’t spend too long in the shower. Over-washing skin is a common mistake in skin care. We all understand the inclination to scrub because we associate clean skin with healthy skin, but you can’t wash eczema away. And you certainly don’t want to dry out your skin by completely stripping away your body’s natural oils.Moisturize FrequentlyIt’s no secret that applying moisturizer immediately improves the look of dry, flaky skin, but there’s a lot more to it than just looks! According to the National Eczema Association, keeping your skin moisturized is one of the most important things you can do to help control your eczema symptoms. Select a moisturizer that is carefully formulated to protect, repair, and maintain skin’s healthy acid mantle levels. Your goal should be to moisturizer at least twice daily. Environ stockists will help you select the moisturizer that suits your unique complexion needs, but a few popular formulations from the Focus Care Moisture+ range include Vita-Complex Super Moisturiser, Vita-Antioxidant Hydrating Oil Capsules, and HA Intensive Hydrating Serum.Until there’s a cure, working to keep your eczema symptoms under control is key, and we are eager to help! Our goal at Environ is to help you love the skin you’re in! To find an Environ stockist near you, call 877.337.6227 today.Research: https://nationaleczema.org/eczema/treatment/moisturizing/

Washing Your Hands Is Good Skin Care

Good handwashing practices have many benefits and should be a regular part of a healthy skin care routine. If you have problematic skin, you already know the first rule of thumb is to keep your hands off of your face. This is mostly because touching your skin can lead to scratching, picking, and irritating the skin’s fragile surface. But, although face-touching alone is not cause of breakouts, it could make the situation much worse. Breakouts occur when oil glands are clogged and the environment is right for bacteria to spread or enter through broken skin. This is where touching your face, without washing your hands first, can adversely affect problematic skin. Throughout the day your hands collect billions of germs and dirt from the things you touch – that other people have touched too! Nasty bacteria and viruses that are thriving all around us, are just waiting for a chance to hitch a ride on your hands to your face and other places on your body. You don’t want to give them a free ride. It goes without saying that you should always wash your hands when they are visibly dirty and when you have been in a public building or after traveling on public transportation. Of course, it’s impossible to always have germ-free hands. Here are a few rules to follow that will help you establish a good handwashing skin care routine according to the Mayo Clinic.  Always wash your hands before: Preparing food or eating Treating wounds or caring for a sick person Inserting or removing contact lenses  Always wash your hands after: Preparing food Using the toilet, changing a diaper or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet Touching an animal, animal feed or animal waste Blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing Treating wounds or caring for a sick person Handling garbage Handling pet food or pet treats The best way to minimize the transfer of dirt and germs lingering on your hands is to wash them as frequently as possible. Using a mild soap, rub your hands under lukewarm water for a minimum of 20 seconds. At least once a day, when you have more time, use a nail brush and scrub under your nails with an anti-bacterial soap. If washing more often causes your hands to become dry and cracked, use a hand moisturizer to keep them soft and hydrated.

Fall Skin Care Layers

It's time for a new fall skin care routine! The transitional weather of autumn is a good time to learn about layering your skin care products, just like you layer your clothing. Applying your skin care in the correct order will maximize their benefits. One overall rule of thumb: always apply lighter, thinner products before heavier formulations. Here’s a layer-by-layer guide for applying skin care products to maximize your benefits: Pre-Cleanser Achieving healthy-looking skin requires a thorough double cleansing to remove the layers of impurities that accumulate on your face during the day. Applying a pre-cleanser will loosen excess surface sebum, sunscreen, waterproof mascara and foundation, and environmental pollutants in preparation for a facial cleanser. Look for ingredients such as, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil. Once you use a pre-cleanser, you’ll wonder how you managed without one. TIP: A few times per week, follow the pre-cleanser with a gentle facial clay micro-exfoliator with Kaolin. This will add any dead skin to the loosened debris pile waiting to be washed away by your cleanser. Cleanser Morning and night, cleansing your skin creates a clean slate for increased effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisturizing cream cleanser will gently lift off surface impurities loosened by your pre-cleanser and help maintain the effects of the natural balance of your skin. It should easily rinse off, leaving your skin feeling refreshed, conditioned, and clean. Toner This layer is often overlooked, mostly because people don’t fully understand what a toner is. A toner helps to moisturize and improve the skin’s overall well-being and primes your skin for maximum effectiveness of skin care products. Today’s advanced toners are infused with botanicals and vitamins. Ingredients such as Panthenol (B5), Niacinamide (B3), Honeybush Leaf Extract, and blends of botanical extracts like; Sage, Yarrow, Mother of Thyme, Restharrow, Coltsfoot, Chamomile, Balm Mint, Horsetail, Rosemary, and Marshmallow help to smooth and improve the look and feel of the skin. Focused Care Serums Now that your face is perfectly primed, it’s time to apply a layer of serums, which are loaded with high concentrations of vitamins, nutrients, hydrators, and other results-driven ingredients that work overtime to bring out the appearance of healthy-looking skin. Look for serums which address your exact complexion concerns, including the visible signs of aging, problematic skin, or uneven skin tone.   Eye Gel And Spot Treatments The delicate eye area needs extra TLC with advanced formulations that infuse your skin with nutrients and other anti-aging ingredients such as antioxidants & peptides. To address small dark patches or a blemish that needs a spot treatment you can add a thin layer of products, focused on the specific target condition, to these areas at this stage in your skin care layering process. Be sure to always spot treat before applying moisturizer, so your skin can better benefit from it. Moisturizer and Sunscreen In the evening, a moisturizer is the final step to seal in all the results-driven ingredients you’ve applied. A layer of moisturizer also helps to smooth skin and lock in hydration for a radiant, healthy-looking glow. In the morning, follow the moisturizer with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen containing titanium oxide to help protect your skin from premature aging and other harmful effects of the sun. Makeup Tip When adding makeup to your fall skin care layering routine, try to maintain and enhance the benefits of your skin care products by choosing cosmetics that are non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog pores, as well as lighter formulations that won’t bury your skin’s natural radiance. For more skin care tips and to discover the products that will bring out your most vibrant-looking complexion, call 877.337.6227 today to find an Environ stockist near you.

Positive Attitude, Beautiful Skin Tips

Have you heard of the brain-beauty connection? Research has long established a relationship between a person’s attitude and their overall health. But did you know that having a positive attitude may help you have better-looking skin, too? It makes sense. The more stressed you are, the faster you age, according to leading skin research. Stress raises your cortisol and adrenaline levels which, in turn, causes inflammation, resulting in a loss of collagen and hydration, both of which are vital to your skin’s appearance. Other research reveals that exceptional agers (women who look 10 or more years younger than their actual age), are more likely to have a positive attitude. You may be thinking, “Of course they’re happy — they look amazing!” But researchers think a more likely explanation is the reverse scenario: exceptional agers look amazing because they feel amazing. Studies have shown that having a positive attitude can improve pretty much everything about you — your overall well-being — and is generally associated with healthier behaviors. In other words, when you feel good about yourself, you’re more inclined to take better care of yourself.  Are you inspired to inject more positivity into your life (and, consequently, enjoy better-looking skin)? Here are a few simple tips: Make self-care a top priority. The top two complexion offenders are sun and stress. Genetics are responsible for about 20 percent of your skin’s aging, while 80 percent of your skin’s appearance can be attributed to lifestyle factors, which you control. In a nutshell, wear sunscreen daily and do whatever you can to keep your stress levels under control! Breathing exercises, yoga, short walks at work, unplugging from technology, petting your dog. You know what to do! Adopt a skin care routine. You can also lower your skin’s stress levels with replenishing and revitalizing skin care ingredients. Years of scientific research goes into discovering which formulations can help to reveal your best-looking skin at every age. Skin professionals, such as aestheticians, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons are trained to help you choose the ideal skin care regimen that meets your unique needs and goals. Plus, taking care of your skin with scientifically researched and results-driven products promotes a feeling of accomplishment, which perpetuates your positive outlook on life. And so the cycle of positivity goes… Gorgeous-looking skin is what we do! And we’re also pretty keen on helping you feel amazing, too! To look and feel your best, call an Environ stockist near you to get started on your ideal skin care routine today: 877.337.6227.

How To Refresh Your Summer Skin

Have you ever noticed that your skin conditions are exacerbated during the summer months? It’s not your imagination! Breakouts due to increased oil production, dark spots created by excessive sun exposure, and dryness caused by air conditioning and other environmental factors are absolutely influencing the appearance of your skin. We have a special tip on how to care for your skin during the summer months.  But first, every skin care professional will tell you that establishing good skin care habits will set the foundation for the best results. You probably know the drill; wash morning and evening, tone, exfoliate on a regular basis, moisturize, and protect. Of course, regular visits to the dermatologist or aesthetician for expert advice on your particular skin concerns will help you when it comes to choosing the best products and extra services you may require. In the meantime, to help the look of your skin after a hot and sunny summer, add a face mask to your skin care routine. Remember, before applying your mask, be sure to cleanse and tone your skin. Next, you’ll want to choose a mask that addresses your skin concerns. Pigmentation Irregularities, Freckles Or Dark Spots Use products which feature a blend of acids (lactic acid, asiatic acid and mandelic acid) to help hydrate, rejuvenate, and fade the appearance of dark spots. If you are using an overnight treatment, apply moisturizer and let it absorb into skin for 20 minutes before applying the mask. Clogged Pores And Congestion Use a mask that helps absorb excess surface oils and can be used daily to help skin look more radiant and refined. Look for a kaolin clay base with protective antioxidant vitamin E, in addition to panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) for revealing the look of a refreshed, hydrated glow, and mineral oil with emollient properties to help clear the appearance of blocked pores and congestion. Fine Lines, Dullness, And Uneven Skin Tone Choose a gentle micro-exfoliant formula with ascorbic acid and salicylic acid to help soften the appearance of fine lines while promoting the look of energized, radiant, more even toned skin. Skin Care Cocktails When it comes to revealing your best-looking complexion, it takes several products, not just one “magic bullet,” to get the job done. At Environ, we specialize in creating synergistic combinations of results-driven ingredients, formulated for peak, optimal efficacy to bring out your best-looking skin at every age. Our Environ stockists possess a thorough understanding of our skin care ranges and can help you uncover the ideal combination of products to target the appearance of your unique skin concerns and help meet your goals.

Treating Teens and Breakout-Prone Skin

It’s a myth that only teens suffer from breakouts, as any adult will attest! Still, it’s fair to say that pimples are synonymous with youth. Increased sebum production during puberty can cause congestion in the skin, which eventually erupts on the surface as confidence-crushing pimples. As we age, stress, environment, and other hormonal events can also produce blemishes – typically, at the most inopportune moments. Fortunately, improving the appearance of problem skin is easier than you think with a proactive skin care regimen. Understanding how breakouts occur is the first step in minimizing their appearance. Puberty and aging are natural occurrences and while everyone goes through it, not everyone’s skin becomes problematic. Science can’t definitively explain why some people are more prone to breakouts, but we do know that when the skin’s oil glands become clogged with excess oil, hair, dirt, and dead skin cells, it creates the right environment for bacteria to multiply. The body naturally wants to protect itself and swells up around the bacteria to isolate the invader and push it out. The teenage years are the perfect time to establish a healthy skin care routine that can assist in maintaining the appearance of clear, balanced, and youthful-looking skin for a lifetime. Keeping skin clean, free of excess oil, exfoliated, and nourished by following simple daily skin care habits will help address the visible effects of the many natural changes and environmental influences that impact the skin every day.   Good Skin Care Habits Wash morning and evening Exfoliate twice per week Moisturize with vitamins and botanicals Protect daily with a broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen   Scientifically Researched Ingredients Practicing good skin care habits will go a long way in combating the effects of problematic skin conditions. But that’s not all, you must choose the skin care products and ingredients you will use. A complete skin care solution should include vitamins and botanicals that are scientifically researched and clinically-proven to normalize the look of the skin and address your individual skin concerns. A focused skin care range includes a cleanser and toner to remove surface oil, exfoliator, moisturizer, spot treatments, and masques. The primary ingredients to look for include; vitamin A, C, E, and B3 (niacinamide), alpha and beta hydroxy acids, and tea tree oil.According to Environ Skin Care Founder Dr. Des Fernandes, “Vitamin A plays an important role in the treatment of blemish-prone skin, and the higher the level of vitamin A, the more effective it is. One should begin on a low dose of vitamin A and then increase it incrementally over time. Vitamin C is an irreplaceable vitamin for healthy-looking skin and we need vitamin E in our skin to help protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals.”Dr. Des also believes when teens breakout, alpha (AHA) and beta (BHA) hydroxy acids, can be very effective because they have been scientifically shown to increase the acidity in the skin and reduce the build-up of dead skin clogging the ducts of the oil glands. BHA’s, such as salicylic acid, can help reduce the harmful effects of bacteria and help calm the feel of irritated skin.   Professional Skin Care Treatments Finally, consult an Environ Skin Care stockist for personalized guidance, professional facials and strategic peels that compliment your new skin care habits. Environ stockists are certified through DermaConcepts industry respected trainings to provide insight into the perfect combination of Environ Skin Care products to achieve healthier-looking skin for a lifetime. If you are concerned about breakouts, ask about the Environ Clarity+ Kit, which includes a complete range of Focus Care Clarity+ products. Find an Environ stockist near you, or call 877.337.6227.

Summer Guide To An Even-Looking Complexion

What Causes Sudden Dark Patches on Your Skin?

Your skin has color-making cells that often work overtime, resulting in unsightly brown or gray patches. These discolored patches are known as melasma, and they occur more often in women, particularly those who are pregnant. Hence its nickname, “the mask of pregnancy.”  Melasma is triggered by the sun (no surprise there!) and other things like hormonal changes, birth control pills, and sometimes, skin care products. Annoyingly, it can appear almost anywhere on your face — including the cheeks, forehead, bridge of the nose, above the upper lip, and chin — and on your neck and décolletage.  Using a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater with both UVA and UVB protection (or ‘broad spectrum’ protection) every day is the best way to prevent and even reverse the appearance of melasma. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends seeking out the shade, wearing protective clothing, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed sun hat, coupled with sunscreen, as the best melasma preventative. Environ’s Scientifically And Clinically Researched Products Intense C-Boost Mela-Even Cream Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, a compound critical for healthy-looking skin. The scientifically researched ingredients in Mela-Even Cream help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation by slowing the effects of melanin production, reducing the appearance of melasma and preventing the look of new brown spots from appearing. use twice daily to help keep the look of melasma at bay, reveal the look of more even tone, and plump fine lines and wrinkles. RAD Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen Your best defense against the appearance of melasma caused by sun damage is always a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30. Environ’s RAD Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen, for face and body, is formulated with a combination of physical sunscreens as well as a unique phyto-complex to work synergistically in protecting the skin form the effects of harsh damaging environmental influences and the sun. Unlike many physical sunscreens, it has a light, creamy texture, so it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy after-feel.
