Environ

Aging is a chronic disease that needs daily treatment, starting before the visible signs of aging show (prevention is better than cure!). And as we get older, more intensive treatment is required. Daily treatment with the Environ range helps reduce and delay the visible changes of aging.

This is achieved by nourishing the skin with essential vitamins as well as other nutrients. Sensible protection from sunlight is important, but we really need the sun in order to remain healthy. For this reason, all these special agents are incorporated into the products to save skin from environmental damage. Environ products offer a definite regime to nourish, protect and maintain youthful skin and allow a normal healthy degree of exposure to the sun.

Ideally, skin care should start as early as possible. Sun damage in Type I and II skins can be detected in children as young as 4-5 years old. Most young people in their twenties mistakenly believe that they are too young to use any cosmetic moisturising cream, and they ignore the warnings and sunbathe!

The truth is that 80% of photo-damage is done by the age of 18. Darker Mediterranean types can tan easily and relatively safely but definitely get sun damage. Even black skins are damaged by the sun and become blotchy with irregular pigmentation.

Look carefully at the skin of the average person in their early twenties and you will see evidence of sun damage — the beginnings of fine wrinkles around the eyes, freckles and clumping of the skin pigment when viewed with a magnifying glass under ultra-violet light. Damaged cells eventually become abnormal or even pre-cancerous.

The Environ range specifically meets this challenge by using ingredients that are based on safe, proven agents that protect skin and restore some of the skin's lost youthful properties.

The Environ range is effective because it incorporates an intelligent 10-pronged attack against the visible signs of aging:

• Vitamin A
• Intensive vitamin C
• Free radical quenchers
• Both UA-A and UV-B organic sunscreens
• Pro-vitamin B5
• Growth factors
• Alpha and beta hydroxy acids
• Peeling system
• Specialized ionzyme DF machine iontophoresis and sonophoresis treatments
• Cosmetic and medical Roll-CIT

Original Range — Light, non-greasy products containing vitamin A, a free radical scavenging system of beta-carotene, vitamins C and E and provitamin B5. The day creams include a certified sun protection factor certified SPF4 (UVB protection) with higher UVA protection, which is particularly important.

B-Active Range — Specifically intended for problem skin. Each product contains Australian tea tree oil for its antiseptic properties to help control bacteria and inflammation and most contain salicylic acid for its mild exfoliant properties.

Ionzyme Range — The innovative formulation of the Ionzyme Series introduces your skin to unparalleled vitamin penetration in both the salon and home care ranges. The C-Quence range is a unique combination of both vitamin A and stabilized natural vitamin C to give the gold standard in the restoration of skin appearance.

Alpha Hydroxy Range — Based on gentle, non-toxic Alpha Hydroxy Acids that assist in softening and smoothing the skin. These gentle acids should generally not be used daily for exfoliation. The only product in this range intended for daily use is the toner, which facilitates the penetration of the Original Range creams. Alpha products promote a clearer skin and finer texture by assisting natural exfoliation. No preservatives or perfumes are added.

Intensive Range — Designed to provide the skin with specialized intense treatments, and intended for use by those who wish to obtain maximum benefit from vitamins and nutrients for specific problems like pigmentation. This range is divided into home care and salon use.

Ionzyme DF 1998 Machine — Therapists can achieve previously unheard of skin smoothening with the most advanced penetrant-enhancing machine available in the world today. The skin looks and feels younger within two or three treatments, and scars become less noticeable. Changes are much slower with conventional iontophoresis.

Salon Intensive Range — Designed for use in professional facial treatments using the Ionzyme DF machine. Each specialized intense product contains effective active ingredients, namely vitamin A and C, and colostrum.
