Tips for Radiant Summer Skin
The intense summer sun can be brutal on skin, from painful sunburns to sweaty breakouts and heat rashes. We compiled some easy tips to avoid these common complexion pitfalls and keep your skin looking prime and sublime all summer long. Apply SPF all day, every day— rain or shine. Be sure your SPF is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t cause comedones (pimples). The number one skin ager is the sun, so avoiding sun damage is vital to maintaining the look and feel of youthful skin. (Ask your local stockist about Environ’s sunscreen!) Don’t let sweat drag you down. Sweat traps bacteria, leading to pesky pimples and rashes. Immediately change out of sweaty clothes and shower off sweat to keep your skin in the clear. Add a hint of mint. Menthol is the secret ingredient to mint’s well-known cooling effect. (This is why drinking a glass of water feels cooler after chewing mint gum—the menthol in mint triggers the cold-sensitive nerves in your mouth.) Try adding some mint leaves to your water bottle for a refreshing pick-me-up throughout your day. You can also fill a spray bottle with mint-infused water and store it in your purse to enjoy a refreshing spritz anywhere, any time you like.

Make Summertime Sublime!
If you’ve been feeling off or just plain tired since Daylight Savings Time (DST), you’re not alone. Researchers have discovered that DST can disrupt sleep patterns, mirror the effects of jetlag and even trigger emotional distress or lapses in judgment. Fortunately, summertime was made for unwinding and recuperating. Here are a few ideas for staying centered and serene this summer: Open your windows. The refreshing breeze aside, opening your windows brings fresh air in and pushes stuffy indoor air out. Health experts advise cracking a window all year long, even in winter, to allow venting of “indoor air pollution” from cleaning products to mold spores. Listen to the crickets. If your windows are open, you’ll have an easier chance hearing them! Psychologists have long studied the calming effect of organic sounds, from the pitter-pat of raindrops to the chirps of birds. Research indicates that listening to crickets or other natural noises can lower stress and improve your mood. Fireflies and roses What do these two wildly different life forms have in common? They are summertime sensations, bringing joy and serenity to all who notice them. The health benefits of deliberately slowing yourself down and taking it easy, from lowering your blood pressure to boosting serenity, remain uncontested. So stop and smell the roses at lunch, or take a moment to marvel at the fireflies this evening while cooking dinner. Little moments of tranquility can add up to a whole lot of happiness! We are on a mission to help you live beautifully from the inside out. Are you ready to be inspired and enjoy radiant-looking skin? Find an Environ stockist near you by calling 877.337.6227 today.

Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream Ideal for all skin types, Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream helps to energize the appearance of tired-looking skin and restore a radiant look .

This multi-tasking mask can be used daily as a micro-exfoliant, a 20-minute hydrating mask, or an overnight mask.

We recommend using 2 to 4 bottles per step before progressing to a higher level. Concentrated Retinol Serum is a powerhouse skin-appearance renewer, helping to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, refine the look of skin texture, and reveal firmer-looking, smoother skin.

Can You Eat Your Way to Younger-Looking Skin?
You’ve no doubt heard that “you are what you eat,” and nutrition experts couldn’t agree more. Your diet affects everything, from your blood sugar level to the cells of your skin. Here’s a look at five foods that may help your dermis achieve age-defying radiance, compliments of healthline®, a trusted online source for all things health-related. Extra Virgin Olive Oil Considered one of the healthiest fats on the planet, extra virgin olive oil is a panacea of sorts, lowering blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease, and even fighting cancer. Research indicates that extra virgin olive oil also has strong anti-inflammatory effects and may help protect skin from sun damage. What’s more, an astounding 73% of olive oil contains monounsaturated fat, which is associated with increased skin elasticity and firmness. Green Tea High in a variety of antioxidants, which combat the damaging effect of free radicals (unstable molecules that form in response to stress), green tea is packed with polyphenols, a type of antioxidant that helps to fight diabetes, insulin resistance, inflammation, and heart disease. Polyphenols may also help protect collagen, the main protein in your skin. Fatty Fish Chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids, fatty fish like salmon help protect against heart disease, inflammation, and ulcerative colitis. Salmon is particularly effective because it contains a carotenoid antioxidant called astaxanthin, which gives it the pretty pink color. In one study, people with sun-damaged skin who were given a combo of astaxanthin and collagen for 12 weeks experienced significant improvements in skin elasticity and hydration. Avocados In addition to being a heart-healthy food rich in fiber and several essential vitamins and minerals, avocados are rich with polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols, unique compounds that help skin by fighting inflammation, thwarting UV damage, and helping to repair damaged DNA. Dark Chocolate Last, but far from least, dark chocolate is one of our most indulgent skin-friendly foods. Containing more antioxidants than acai berries, blueberries, or cranberries, dark chocolate’s magic ingredient is flavanols, which have been shown to protect skin from sun damage and improve blood flow to skin. One study revealed that people who consumed high-flavanol dark chocolate showed enhanced skin hydration, smoothness, and thickness. Our goal is to help you achieve optimal wellness both inside and out!

A Plumped & Pretty Complexion
Our skin’s natural production of collagen slows as we age, resulting in thinner skin that is prone to lines, wrinkles, sagging, and other common concerns. Fortunately, you can take steps to plump up and rejuvenate the appearance of mature skin. We’ve worked hard to formulate a comprehensive menu of products that are geared toward the specific goal of improving the look of volume loss. Here are the highlights of just a few of these enhancers: Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream This night cream helps to energize the look of tired skin and restore a more radiant appearance. It’s an intensely restorative formula containing a mild combination of fruit acids to gently assist with the effects of natural exfoliation of skin and refine the appearance of sun damaged skin and rough texture. Applied under your recommended Environ vitamin A moisturizer, two to three times a week, this cream will leave your skin feeling moisturized and hydrated for a radiant glow. Antioxidant & Peptide Eye Gel Specifically formulated for use around the delicate eye area, this soothing gel is rich in antioxidants, peptides, and vitamins for minimizing the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and for the look of hydrated, supple skin. For use in the morning and evening, this eye gel is packed with rooibos, honeybush, and resveratrol, three stalwart antioxidants which combat the effects of free-radical damage to reveal a more refreshed and youthful appearance to skin. C-Quence Energising Masque This gentle micro-exfoliant mask can be applied twice a week in the evening to help soften the look of fine lines while energizing the appearance of your skin for a luminous and even glow. Concentrated Retinol Serum (1-3) The proven powerhouse ingredient vitamin A is the secret behind this results-driven serum which helps improve the look of uneven skin tone while helping skin look firmer and smoother. Retinol Serum contains a vitamin A derivative which is scientifically known to help speed the effects of cellular turnover and normalize the appearance of skin concerns and sun damage, promoting the look of healthy skin that appears refreshed and intensely revitalized. Our retinol serum varies in intensity from 1 (milder) to 3 (strongest). Environ believes in starting low and going slow to give your skin time to adjust to ingredients. We recommend starting with level 1, applying a drop of it into your vitamin A moisturizer and slowly adding more over time. We recommend using 2 to 4 bottles per step before advancing to the next level. Our products are specially formulated to work in synergy with our vitamin A moisturizers. Treat your skin to the look of a refreshing volume boost. Find your Environ stockist today by calling 877.337.6227.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month!
Do you apply sunscreen daily? If not, it’s time to rethink your beauty regimen because sunscreen should be the most important tool in your beauty arsenal. Not only does sunscreen reduce your risk of skin cancer, but it also dramatically improves the appearance of skin to help you age beautifully. In fact, what most of us consider to be signs of the natural aging process—lines, wrinkles, age spots—should really be attributed to sun exposure, not time. Researchers estimate that a staggering 90 percent of “aging” symptoms are the direct result of sun damage. We find this statistic empowering because it means we have more control over the aging process than we think! Our mission at Environ is to help you achieve healthy-looking, ageless radiance at every stage of life. One step toward this goal is through daily sunscreen application. Our Sun Care range packs UVA and UVB protection with essential antioxidants and hydrators to protect your skin while helping to replenish moisture and radiance. Formulated for the face and body, Environ Sun Care combines physical sunscreens with a phyto-complex that work in synergy to protect the skin from the effects of harsh environmental contaminants and damaging UV rays. Once your skin is protected, you can take steps to revitalize and replenish its appearance by choosing from our other results-based ranges of skin care formulations which boast the highest quality of scientifically proven ingredients. Protect and perfect is our motto for May! Achieve the long-lasting appearance of complexion perfection by consulting with your Environ stockist today.
