More impact, less irritation 🙌

If you’ve ever had a retinoid reaction, you’ll know it’s not fun. You’re using a product in an effort to improve your skin, only to find out your skin hates it (at least initially).

The good news is, there’s a better way. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A offering a wide variety of benefits for the skin, but not all vitamin A products are created equal!

Our recommendation is always to start first with an Environ moisturizer, all of which contain a form of Vitamin A known as Retinyl Esthers. This form of vitamin A is much better tolerated by the skin, allowing the skin to build up Vitamin A receptors and prevent reactions as you increase your “dose”. These moisturizers have multiple levels and, once you advance a couple of levels, you can safely add Retinol into the mix gradually to boost your results.

Environ’s Tri-Retinoid Complex Retinol Serum features 3 different retinoids (forms of Vitamin A), alongside antioxidants and skin barrier boosters to sooth and hydrate the skin. The Retinol Serum Forte, which can be used after your skin has successfully acclimated to the former, adds the value of two specialized retinoid enhancing products to further your results!

When this product can help:
✅ Photo aging
✅ Sagging skin
✅ Dark spots
✅ Rough texture
✅ Dryness/dehydration
✅ Dullness
✅ Overall skin health

Why a “good deal” on Botox may not be a good idea…

Aside from the fact that the three individuals listed in the CDC’s recent article performed their own injections, which is obviously not a safe option, the biggest concern on our end is the product they were injecting.

There are only a handful of Botulinum Toxin brands on the market that are FDA approved for cosmetic use: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify and Letybo. There are no “generics” and these brands will only sell to licensed medial providers who meet educational requirements.

Any other brand, or any of the above listed brand’s products purchased via third party retailer, or overseas, pose the risk of the product being expired, tampered with, improperly stored, or something completely different altogether.

Many businesses offering aesthetic injections flaunt big discounts to consumers. Speaking as a medical spa owner who regularly purchases brand name Botox, some of these discounts cannot possibly be profitable and could potentially be in the negative *unless* the product was not purchased directly from the manufacturer.

To be fair, many businesses offering significant discounts on Botulinum Toxin injections are intentionally taking a hit on their profit either to earn more via increased volume and future bookings. But for some, the steep discounts may point to less than reputable botulinum toxins being used. As a consumer, it is not easy to distinguish between the two. Even if your injector shows you the bottle, there is no guarantee that the product was purchased directly from the manufacturer and stored properly in transit.

As a consumer, your safest bet is to avoid businesses offering heavy or frequent discounts and to always look for providers with the skill, experience and medical knowledge to safely and effectively perform your treatment.

This report describes the public health response to three patients from different states who developed severe illness after self-injecting botulinum toxin.

Environ won us over with this mask 🏆

A sample of this product was our fist experience with the Environ Skincare Brand - and boy did it ever make a statement.

Featuring:

✨Lactic Acid: Exfoliates, softens and pulls in moisture

✨Asiatic Acid: Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, stimulates wound healing and increases collagen production.

✨Mandelic Acid: Accelerates cell turnover, reduces inflammation, inhibits melanin production, and has antibacterial properties

This one jar contains so much value, offering both short-term and long-term results.

Though it is part of the Youth+ line and geared toward anti-aging, it helps with many other skin concerns as well including acne, dark spots, and inflammatory skin conditions 🙌

Don’t forget to post your questions and comments! We could talk about this product all day 🎙️
