Environ Skin Care

Environ Skin Care A beautiful skin for a lifetime. Prominent Cape Town plastic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes was a pioneer in this field.

The introduction of vitamin A into skincare formulations was a ground-breaking development, because it offered benefits to sun-damaged skin. In the 1980's, he was the first to use vitamin A in high enough doses to ensure a genuine, visible effect on the skin. Dr Des became interested in the physiology of skin cancer and the skin following the untimely death of two young patients due to melanoma. T

hrough his research, he discovered the essential role of vitamin A in skin health and he became determined to create a range of skin care products that would maintain healthy skin, especially as the incidence of sun-related skin disorders grows worldwide. Out of this, the Environ company and skin care range were born. Environ has developed an extensive distribution network in South Africa and globally. The scientifically proven efficacy of its products makes it one of the cult favourites among those in the know; Environ is acclaimed by international beauty editors, skincare therapists and dermatologists alike.
