In addition to maintaining your skincare routine, you should also make plans for how you are going to be taking even better care of your skin in the coming year. It’s important to choose a product that contains ingredients that will help to maintain the health of your skin, by protecting it against environmental pollutants, all whilst addressing any major skin concerns that you may have. That said, having the Focus Care Youth+ Tri-Peptide Complex+ Avance Elixir from Environ on your Christmas wish list is the perfect gift to give your skin.

What is it?

Environ is a professional skincare brand that has been globally recognized due to its ability to delve into the science behind skincare. In 1980s, the brand’s founder and world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Des Fernandes successfully used vitamin A and other antioxidants in cosmetic products. Following this, it wasn’t long before the Environ brand was officially born, with vitamin A featuring in many of its products.

With the inclusion of vitamins and antioxidants that help the skin, including an Environ skincare product in your skin regime, it would be the advisable thing to do. The Avance Elixir is a lightweight elixir that can be applied morning/and or evening before applying your moisturizer of choice. Additionally, it can also be used as a primer as, upon application,  it is quickly absorbed by the skin.

Why is the Environ Avance Elixir on my wish list?

When it comes to skincare products, ingredients should always matter. This is because they display the efficiency of how well a beauty product will address your skincare concerns. That said, Avance Elixir from Environ contains ingredients that will address a number of your skincare concerns.

Meiritage is one of the notable ingredients present. It is a combination of root extracts used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to research, this active ingredient contains wound healing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin lightening properties. In fact, research suggests that it can help to encourage the production of collagen, address uneven skin spots, as well as protect the skin from the aging effects of the sun’s rays.

If that wasn’t enough to make this product the ultimate skincare gift, it also contains three quite effective peptides. Peptides are short-chained amino acids that are also the building blocks for proteins, particularly collagen, elastin, and keratin. In their absence, we see the formation of wrinkles, as well as brittle nails and dry hair. Thankfully, the presence of three different types of peptides can help to ensure radiant and younger-looking skin.

Peptides

According to research, the various different peptides found in the Environ elixir have beneficial effects on the skin (1). These include increased suppleness, firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, fewer signs of photodamage, and increased collagen production.

If you want to protect the skin of your loved ones, then gift them with the Environ Avance Elixir. They and their skin will definitely thank you.

PS. Environ is running some amazing Christmas specials… look out for them at your favourite store
