The importance of oxygen for your skin

Oxygen, of course, is essential to keep us alive keeping us alive. But it also plays an important role for a healthy skin.

The use of oxygen on the skin is enormously versatile: from supporting cellular respiration to wound healing, promoting circulation and cell regeneration. That's why oxygen treatments are also becoming more common in beauty salons. 
Air pollution
It is not a secret that the air around us is increasingly polluted and that this has a negative effect on our bodies. When we look at how polluted air affects our skin, we see significant consequences. Fine dust and ozone in the air can generate free radicals on our skin. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells and collagen fibers and can ultimately lead to premature aging of the skin.

Polluted air can also clog our pores, cause pimples and damage the skin barrier that is supposed to protect your skin from moisture loss and outside influences. 
The path of oxygen
The air we breathe contains about 21% oxygen. That oxygen is carried around our body via our bloodstream. But our skin also absorbs oxygen, albeit in smaller quantities. This happens through the epidermis, the top layer of skin. Unfortunately, as we age, this process slows down and less oxygen reaches the skin cells. As a result, the skin's regeneration process slows down and signs of aging appear. Time for an oxygen treatment.
Oxygen treatment
Oxygen treatment involves applying oxygen under pressure to the facial surface. Your Craith Lab Expert is specially trained for this. Thanks to the ideal symbiosis between pure oxygen and Craith Lab's specific active ingredients, Craith Lab's oxygen therapy is an advanced and highly effective treatment with a wide range of benefits.
Benefits
Oxygen plays an essential role in promoting cell regeneration. By transporting oxygen directly to the cells, we stimulate blood circulation andthe oxygen supply to tissues and organs is improved. This not only accelerates wound healing and a reduction of inflammation but promotes overall skin health as well. Furthermore, oxygen therapy has positive effects on our skin, such as a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and improved firmness and elasticity of the skin. By optimizing the oxygen levels in the skin, oxygen therapy can also help reduce acne and improves the overall complexion of the skin.

Furthermore, Craith Lab oxygen therapy has a detoxifying effect. It stimulates the elimination of toxins and free radicals, cleansing and purifying the skin. This can help reduce skin problems.

It is the ideal symbiosis between Craith Lab's active ingredients and pure oxygen that makes our oxygen therapy so effective. By combining the actives with the oxygen treatment, the benefits of both are enhanced. The actives penetrate deeper into the skin and are better absorbed, while the oxygen enhances the efficacy of the actives by stimulating cellular activity. Another nice extra is the healthy glow your skin gets after a treatment.
In short, Craith Lab's oxygen therapy offers a wide range of benefits. Oxygen can also make a positive contribution to healing after surgery. Our Craith Lab Experts will be happy to give you more advice about this.
