Ingredients that target anti-ageing, dehydration and sensitivity instantly get my attention as these are my current skin concerns. Environ's new range Focus Care Youth+ range address these ageing problems and thanks to Rubybox I got to try out Environ Tri Bio Botanical Revival Masque, Environ Avance Elixir and Environ Vita-Antioxidant Hydrating Oil Capsules. Here's what I thought and yay, there's a GIVEAWAY of said products too!
As we age our skin loses signs of youth (hence the name Environ Focus Care Youth+) where flawless skin is the focus; thanks to anti-ageing ingredients and Vitamin A, the cornerstone to all Environ Products, helps jumpstart collagen production and heal damaged skin. Founder and Scientific Director Dr Des Fernandes says, 'Ageing skin is a direct result of sun-induced Vitamin A deficiency. Correct the deficiency and you'll have more radiant skin'. I was up for the challenge, because who doesn't want to capture a youthful glowing complexion?
Environ Tri Bio Botanical Revival Masque is said to be 'a facelift in a jar' due to three powerful ingredients of Lactic acid, Asiatic acid and Mandelic acid which together help achieve a smoother radiant skin. With the option of leaving on for ten to twenty minutes or as an overnight mask, I juggled between leaving the masque on overnight once a week and twice a week washed it off after twenty minutes. There's a slight tingling feeling on first application which I like as it felt my skin was benefiting from the active ingredients. It comes in a push applicator tub meaning there's no chance of bacteria creeping in and also no wastage. Two pumps were ample to cover my face and neck area and a brush makes for easy application. I also brushed a thin film of masque over my hands where I had some brown spots and they have magically vanished!
Environ Focus Care Youth+ Avance Elixir: Key ingredient Meiritage (a blend of Chinese roots) combined with three powerful peptides works on keeping the skin's structure together as well as evening out skin tone. I loved the clear lightweight consistency as it sinks in easily and is non-sticky. I've been using it daily before moisturiser or the hydrating capsules and see a marked improvement in my skin tone, a softening of lines and wrinkles and dare I say it, a dash of luminosity.
Environ Vita-Antioxidant Hydrating Oil Capsules deliver a powerful concentration of antioxidants, Retinol and vitamins to help combat signs of ageing like dryness, redness, dark spots and wrinkles. The capsules feel so luxurious and hydrating; I used these every third day after applying the serum and before a moisturiser. I absolutely love them - my only gripe is there aren't enough in a jar as I'd use one every day under a moisturiser!
