Obviously, we need oxygen to live. But even though we get sufficient amounts of oxygen every day, the skin needs much more to function properly.
As we age, oxygen does not reach cells as quickly or effectively as it did in the past, which contributes to the signs of aging. When the skin doesn’t get adequate oxygen, it can be more prone to blemishes, redness and irritation, appear thin and sallow, and have more noticeable wrinkles, fine lines and age spots.
Treatments like oxygen facials, a favorite of celebrities likes Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, supply skin with much-needed oxygen to get it to a more optimal state and give it unparalleled luminosity.
