ENVIRON FOCUS CARE RANGE REVIEW

High quality skin care products are something we shouldn't have to compromise on. While I'm all about that saving money life, I'm also someone that believes in investments and investing in good skincare products is super beneficial in the long run. 

While I personally use just a few essential skincare products, I like to incorporate one or two other more intensive products into my routine from time to time depending on my skin's needs. For 3 weeks I incorporated the Environ Focus Care Hydrating Oil Capsules and Environ Focus Care Youth+ Revival Masque into my routine.

Environ

Environ is a global professional skincare brand that uses vitamin A as their cornerstone ingredient since it was founded in 1990. They use their patented Vitamin STEP-UP system, which gradually introduces your skin to more Vitamin A and other ingredients.

Environ is NOT sold online and should be purchased from trained and authorized Enviro Skin Care professionals. Luckily many professional salons and beauty therapists stock Environ so you don't have to look too far.

Environ Focus Care Hydrating Oil Capsules

Retails for: R730 for 30

Description: The Environ Focus Care™ Moisture+ Hydrating Oil Capsules deliver a concentrated burst of hydration, while a blend of retinol and antioxidants work to protect the skin against the damaging effects of free radicals. Add it to your daily routine to rehydrate and revive the skin.

My review: I've previously used their discontinued hydrating oil capsules and I loved it! The product left my skin feeling soft and hydrated for hours on end. Even for someone with combination skin, it still left my skin feeling hydrated without feeling oily. The capsule-design is also really cute and has enough product to use on both your face and neck. It also feels very luxurious and high-end which is what I expect from a product in this price-range. While I wouldn't use it every day (It's a bit pricey!), I would prefer to use it once or twice a week when my skin needs a little moisture and TLC or after using a face masque.

Environ Focus Care Youth+ Revival Masque

Retails for: R1020 for 50ml

Description: The Environ Focus Care™ Youth+ Revival Masque has been formulated with three powerful ingredients to improve the skin’s overall look and increase future resilience. Lactic Acid, Asiatic Acid and Mandelic Acid work together to refine the skin’s texture and tone, leaving it looking healthier and more youthful. Use this as a 10 - 20 minute mask or leave on overnight for an intensive treatment. The masque should be introduced gradually, starting with once or twice a week. If your skin allows, it can eventually be used daily.

My review: The first thing I noticed about this is the unique pump - I haven't used a product with this kind of pump before. I admit this product isn't ideally suited to me as a 20-something. While it's great to have anti-age products from a young age, I think it's best suited to 30+ women. The product is white-ish and looks clear on your face (As opposed to white like most masks I've used) and reminds me of the texture of many sheet masks (The actual product). You use it for 10 minutes and then after a few uses gradually keep it on for longer before you wash it out. It leaves my skin soft and smooth and I feel it hydrating. While I can't vouch for the anti-age properties, it definitely leaves my skins silky smooth. Disclaimer: It does make your skin more sensitive to the sun so make sure to use SPF and stay out of direct sunlight.
