Environ Focus Care Youth+® Tri BioBotanical Revival Masque

Environ Focus Care Youth+ Tri BioBotanical Revival Masque is a silky gel-cream masque that combines lactic acid, asiatic acid and mandelic acid to gently resurface the skin, refine texture, smooth fine lines and brighten uneven tone. Environ nicknames it the facelift in a jar. The 50 ml jar can be used as a 10 to 20 minute masque or left on overnight, and it is aimed at dull, mature, uneven or aging skin.

Environ lists all skin types, especially dull, mature, uneven or aging skin that needs resurfacing and radiance, with concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, texture irregularities, dehydration and loss of firmness. Normal, combination, dry and oily skin are tagged. Because it contains three exfoliating acids, very sensitive or already irritated skin should start cautiously with short, infrequent sessions rather than overnight use.

Pre-cleanse, cleanse and tone with your preferred Environ products, then apply a thin, even layer. As a rinse-off masque, leave it on for 10 to 20 minutes, starting with twice-weekly use and building up gradually to 20 minutes, then rinse with tepid water. If your skin tolerates it, Environ also allows it as an overnight sleeping masque. The listing notes a peel brush is not included, so use a clean mask brush or fingertips.

Environ says to start with twice-weekly use as a 10 to 20 minute masque, building the time gradually, and to move to overnight use only if your skin tolerates it. At that frequency a 50 ml jar lasts a good while, though Environ gives no official figure. Skin looks smoother and fresher after each session, and the firmer, more even look builds with continued use over several weeks.

It fits into a Focus Care routine around your Environ vitamin A moisturiser. Environ pairs it with the 3DSynergé Filler Crème in the Ultimate Youth+ Duo: masque first for texture and radiance, then the Filler Crème for volume and hydration. On masque nights, keep the rest of your routine simple and hydrating, and always wear sunscreen the next morning.

Be careful. The masque already carries lactic, asiatic and mandelic acids, so do not use it on the same evening as another exfoliating product such as the Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream. If you use a retinol serum, apply the masque on alternate nights, and reduce frequency if you notice redness, tightness or stinging. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, and keep it off the eye area.

Both. Environ gives two ways to use it: as a 10 to 20 minute rinse-off masque, starting at twice weekly and building toward 20 minutes, or as an intensive overnight sleeping masque for deeper revitalization, depending on your skin's tolerance. Most people begin with the shorter version and graduate to overnight once their skin is comfortable with the acids. Either way, the silky gel-cream is applied as a thin, even layer.
