You can thank me later.<\/p>\n<p>I love a good facial, I really do. I love the pampering, the way my skin glows afterwards and getting to lie down for an hour while someone rubs delicious smelling products into my skin. What\u2019s not to love? But I find it difficult, between facials, to figure out what to do with my skin. I spend hours staring at the many wonderful promises on skincare labels, trying to decide which one to trust.<\/p>\n<p>No more! Not now that I\u2019ve found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.environ.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\">Environ<\/a>. For starters, when you first go for an Environ facial, it\u2019s not a facial at all, but a skin analysis. Using all kinds of machines I only partly understand, they test your skin for everything from hydration levels to pigmentation, sub-cutaneous damage and depth of wrinkles, take extremely close-up photographs that show what\u2019s going on underneath the top layer of skin, and then prescribe a course of action to fix whatever is wrong with it \u2013 or what will go wrong if you continue doing what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p>The Environ skincare range was developed by Dr. Des Fernandes, a plastic surgeon who saw the effects of the South African lifestyle (and sun!) on the skin, and decided to do something about it. What I love about their whole approach is that everything is based in scientific research: from the products themselves (which are fabulous) to the facial, which was as high tech a facial as I\u2019ve ever had, with sound and light energy frequently used to maximise the absorption of the various serums into the skin. All Environ therapists are intensively trained, and it shows. I had all kinds of questions, and all of them were answered by the lovely Farah.<\/p>\n<p>The secret? Vitamin A in high, effective doses, to replace the vitamins lost in the skin. It\u2019s gradually increased (over a few months) as you become used to the levels of vitamin A, and guaranteed (scientifically!) to make your skin look and feel wonderful. No need to stare at the many hundreds of skincare promises made up in ad agencies\u2026 How wonderful is that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ladies and gentlemen (well, probably more ladies, let\u2019s be honest\u2026) I have found Cape Town\u2019s best facial.
