I recently attended a refresher course on the Environ® skin care range of cosmeceutical products that we use at the clinic. A reminder for those not familiar with the name, these are scientifically formulated skin care  products with highly active ingredients that are result driven. The cornerstone of these products is Vitamin A and Envron® has the maximum amount of Vitamin A in a cosmeceutical product. This is the reason you need a full skin analysis before we start you on the treatment and the products cannot be bought across the counter.

The course was held in the IIAA (International Institute of Anti-Aging) headquarters in London. As requisite of an international institute for skin care, the premises were high gloss, glass and steel. The receptionist behind the imposing reception counter had flawless complexion and indeed so did every other female in the company.

The highlight for me was seeing these quotes on the wall :

Are you convinced? Book a skin analysis with us and get started on the road to having great skin, like Kate Winslet and her other A list friends.
