An oxygen facial is a non surgical treatment where a high-pressure blast of medical grade oxygen feeds active ingredients including vitamins, minerals and collagen into your skin. The result is skin that is clearer, plumper and smoother with a warm “glow” to the skin.

Over time our skin dulls due to factors such as the ageing process, smoking, pollution in the air, etc. Oxygen facials are known to combat these effects by delivering much needed highly concentrated oxygen to the surface of the skin.  By having an oxygen facial the skin receives this high dose which results in better circulation and skin cell regeneration leaving the skin looking younger.  The blast of oxygen also kills surface bacteria, making the skin look clearer.  It can also help combat rosacea, heal bruising and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is also an excellent choice for combating acne due to the anti-bacterial effect. Potential scarring is reduced and the build up of bacteria within the skin is diminished.

During an oxygen facial it will normally begin with ten minutes or so of exfoliation where the top layer of the skin or any dead skin cells is removed to expose the younger, smoother skin beneath. A nozzle is then used to puff chilly oxygen into the skin, blasting in the vitamins and minerals as it goes.  Usually a face mask is applied afterwards to maximize the effects of the treatment.

As it is a non-surgical treatment practically anyone can have an oxygen facial without risk. If you have any pre-existing skin allergies or conditions, it is best practice to make your therapist aware of this before treatment.

Beauty Salons in Scotland

A facial is a common skincare treatment, the second most popular beauty salon treatment after massage, which involves a variety of treatments to the face including: steam, exfoliation, extraction, creams, lotions, masks, peels, and massage to cleanse, tone, exfoliate and nourish the skin of the face, encouraging clear, well-hydrated skin.

Depending on the skin type of the individual the therapist will choose specific types of cleansers, toners, exfoliators and mositurisers etc. to most suit and benefit the skin of the client based on whether they have mature or sensitive, dry, oily or combination skin.

There are various different kinds of facials but all have the same main aim; to relax, refresh, pamper and promote well-being, and to improve the texture, general health and overall appearance of the skin of the face.

What happens during a Facial?

A facial starts with a complete cleanse using cotton pads or sponges and a product chosen to suit the skin type of the individual ie. dry, normal, oily, combination, sensitive or mature.  This is to remove the layer of dead skin cells and deep-clean pores to help prevent acne and lack lustre skin.

After protecting your eyes the therapist will use a brightly lit magnifying lamp to study your skin looking for various skin conditions and any blackheads or whiteheads that need removing.  These blackheads or whiteheads will then be removed if necessary. Some facials may use steam towels to open the pores to make the removal of blackheads easier.

The skin will then be exfoliated using a mechanical or chemical exfoliant. Mechanical exfoliation involves physically scrubbing the skin with an abrasive.  Chemical exfoliants include scrubs containing salicylic acid, glycolic acid, fruit enzymes, citric acid, or malic acid.

A face massage may then be given relax and stimulate the skin and facial muscles.

After this a facial mask will then be applied to suit the skin type and will be left on for a number of minutes.

To finish off the facial a suitable moisturizer will be applied to rehydrate, moisturise and nourish your complexion.

How regularly should a Facial be had?

It is preferable to have a facial every four to six weeks but this obviously also depends on the type of skin of the individual but once a month is sufficient as it takes that long for the skin to regenerate.
