Environ Prescription Facial Mind & Body Studio, Kirkcaldy I popped into Mind & Body Studio for an Environ Prescription Facial with Beauty Therapist Kat and left feeling lighter and undeniably relaxed. What’s involved? The Environ Prescription Facial started with a double cleanse and exfoliation, followed by a facial massage, which was incredibly relaxing. Kat combined pressurepoint massage and lymphatic drainage to help eliminate toxins, relax facial tension, and circulation. She worked along the lymphatic points of the face to help pump out any build-up of fluids which can lead to puffiness. Then, while the cooling mask was working its magic, Kat gave me a spine-tingling scalp massage and rounded it all off with a final cleanse, tone and moisturise. What makes it different from other facials? The Environ brand is largely built on science, with Vitamin A the cornerstone ingredient of its skincare philosophy.

As its name suggests, the Environ Prescription Facial is specially tailored to your individual skin type, lifestyle and beauty goals. And, of course, you leave with a bespoke ‘prescription’ outlining the products recommended for you. The result? My main concerns were my puffy eyes and face, as well as some congestion along my T-zone. Kat worked on all these problem areas – using a deep cleansing gel for my combination skin and large pores – and even taught me some drainage techniques to use at home for my puffy eyes. I left floating on air, with positively glowing skin.
