psoriasis, eczema and rosacea
As psoriasis, eczema and rosacea are fairly common skin conditions found on salon clients, therapists should have a working knowledge of what skincare products and ingredients may help to alleviate the situation Environ South African founded skincare brand, Environ, is careful to not advise that its products are ‘cures’ for conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and rosacea, which are medical skin conditions. Says Environ’s Dr Des Fernandes: “We usually advise the consumer to get a medical diagnosis to determine exactly what the condition is, from which point we can then support with the topical application of the correct vitamins, antioxidants, moisturisers etc. “Inflammation is
one of the problems we see when the skin barrier is compromised, leading to red, itchy, angry and scaly-looking skin. The problem is that this type of skin (usually because its natural vitamin A is depleted), tends to react to cosmetics. This is especially true of active formulations.” For eczema and psoriasis, Environ’s philosophy is to gradually introduce the pre-cursor of vitamin A, Beta-Carotene, with the support of antioxidants to help strengthen and fight free-radical damage. The brand recommends Comfort+ Antioxidant Gel and Colostrum Gel as a powerful duo for daily use. For people with scaly psoriasis, Environ recommends the application of the Derma-Lac Lotion. In terms of rosacea, Dr Fernandes has researched and developed a special treatment where the skin
is professionally peeled with a gentle Cool Peel, and vitamin A, C & E Body Oil in combination with the daily application of DermaLac Lotion. “We have had a 100% success rate when following this protocol. Therapists need to attend Environ Professional Education in order to offer Cool Peels,” states Dr Fernandes.
