Oxygen facial treatments have become quite popular. They come in many different forms, but it seems that the oxygen facial treatment is the preferred choice of many women (and men). Oxygen facials are usually performed in beauty salons and spas and even though the process looks simple it is actually quite complex. Oxygen facials are a great way to relax your body and mind, but they also bring many other benefits. Detoxifying your skin, supporting collagen production, speeding up cell turnover, getting smooth, younger and shinier skin – these are just some of the benefits of oxygen facial treatment.
The results from one treatment session usually last for about one week. These effects are felt and seen right after the treatment is finished. For many individuals, this means that oxygen facials last for a very short period of time. However, there is more than one way to make these treatments last longer.
To start with, the period of time we have mentioned is typical for those who have finished their first treatment. Experts agree that the effects of oxygen facial are cumulative. In other words, you can make the results last longer with every next treatment you take. The recommended full treatment requires taking one oxygen facial therapy a week for six weeks in a row. Once this full treatment is finished, the results should last for at least one month and up to three months. Experts advise taking a break after this treatment. You can start the procedure after three months without worrying about any problems.
If you want to make your oxygen facial treatment last as long as possible, you can also take some actions at home too. To start with, you must increase water intake. Water is crucial for our skin because cells that are hydrated well can do their job in the best possible way. So, once the treatment is over start drinking plenty of water. Many experts suggest drinking between eight and ten glasses of water.
In case you were performing exfoliation regularly, stop using them once the facial treatment is finished. Oxygen facial will do everything an ordinary exfoliation does and even more. So, it is the best idea to stay away from exfoliating acids and scrubs. On the other hand, if you don’t stop with this practice, you will probably witness dryness, irritation, and breakouts. Wait for at least one week before you start with exfoliation again.
In addition, you can also use a calming, light moisturizer just to be sure that your skin will stay well-hydrated. This is a simple way to prolong the positive effects of oxygen facial. If you are staying outdoors for a long time, you should use SPF to keep your skin safe from the damaging effects of prolonged sun exposure. Many people that have used this treatment say that changing the pillowcase more frequently can be helpful too. So, do this at least once a week.
All these tips are easy to follow and we hope that they will prolong the effects of oxygen facials.
