Environ
There’s no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to achieving healthy, beautiful skin. The introduction of vitamin A into skincare formulations was a groundbreaking moment, because it offered benefits to sun-damaged skin. Prominent Cape Town plastic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes was a pioneer in this field. In the 1980s, he was one of the first to use vitamin A in high enough doses for a genuine, measurable effect on the quality of skin.
Dr Fernandes became interested in the mechanics of skin cancer and the skin following the untimely deaths of two young patients due to melanoma. Through his research, he discovered the essential role of vitamin A in skin health and he became determined to create treatments that would maintain healthy skins, especially as the incidence of sun-related skin disorders grows worldwide. Out of this the Environ range and company were born.
Environ is acclaimed by international beauty editors, skincare therapists and dermatologists. At it’s heart, Environs mission is to provide proven, cutting edge technology and sound skin care science principles in creating skincare for women and men from youth to maturity, as well as children, all skin types and ethnicities. It’s never too early to start caring for your skin, so invest now for great future returns.
