This woman is 67. I’m lying but read on…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n


\n<\/a>The trauma of the mirror continues to horrify on a regular basis. Inside I feel 18 and exterior wise – the swags and tails that used to adorn curtains in the 80’s have moved into my face. Dear God. It is now clear the image of the original gargoyle must have been based on an Aberdonian woman in her 50’s. \u00a0So I am at the stage where you will consider anything to fight the ravages of time. Well within reason. So earlier this year I adopted a new regime – a product called Environ.<\/p>\n

The guy who developed it is a plastic surgeon from South Africa who noticed when he applied the cream to people recovering from surgery that their skin seemed to improve and rejuvenate. Well I didn\u2019t need to hear that more than once – slap it on! In fact hell I will eat it if it works.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We \u00a0do love a before and after and so here it is…..

 <\/p>\n

There are an array of different creams you start at Level 1 and as your skin becomes hardened (not the best word in these circumstances – lets go with accustomed) to the Vitamin A in the cream you can gradually increase the potency. ?I am now a good few months down the line withit and I swear my skin is better. Really.<\/p>\n

I am not getting sponsored, paid or encouraged to write this but as a 50 something woman its nice to find something that seems to improve things without the aid of a knife, an anaesthetic or a balaclava.<\/p>\n

Its nae cheap but then neither is buying every other cream every other day and slapping it on with no continuity. One set of the stuff kept me going for 4 months so it may seem dear but its an investment I am happy to make.<\/p>\n

\"Every<\/a>
Every good facial involves gunge. Environ is no exception.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In addition you can indulge in anEnviron facial – the photo of which is me in full Hannibal Lecter mask – it just adds to the overall treatment and frankly afterwards I felt fresh as a daisy. I still haven\u2019t been ID\u2019d in the local as being potentially underage but I live in hope.<\/p>\n

Just thought I\u2019d share the chat – feel free to ignore it!<\/p>\n

You do need to find a facialist who stocks Environ – in Edinburgh there are a few – Claires in Edinburgh<\/a> is who puts up with me – \u00a0she is great at what she does so when you are lying around looking like a nitwit fun I do like a laugh.<\/p>\n

This article\u00a0<\/a>is all about the Dr who developed it \u00a0–\u00a0have a read if you fancy.<\/p>\n
