Oxygen Facials

Oxygen Facials

What is an oxygen facial? Secret Salons

What are oxygen facials?

Oxygen facials are the hottest new trend on the celebrity spa circuit, given a massive boost by Madonna’s praise of the treatment on her blog last year. Now understandably, you may be slightly sceptical if Madge has recommended it, (after all, she doesn’t really have the greatest track record) but oxygen facials deserve to be given a chance.

The treatment involves high pressure pure oxygen being sprayed directly into your face’s skin, combined with an anti-ageing serum, by a qualified therapist. By no means a relaxing massage, oxygen facials aren’t painful, but they’re generally designed to be effective over comfort – though as ever, there are luxury versions out there.

What are the benefits of oxygen facials?

Effectively a holistic treatment (scientists will stress there’s little science behind them), Oxygen facials aim to give the skin a smoother and more moisturised surface. The science isn't obvious, and no tests have confirmed the benefits of oxygen facials, yet thousands swear by them - oxygen has been shown to quicken the body's healing processes by significant percentages in the past. Ignore all the rubbish about cells needing oxygen and all that, they get quite enough as it is, but believe the testimonials.

The various benefits of such a treatment include:

Anti ageing effects

Moisturising skin

Plumpens skin to reduce wrinkles

Freshens face and smooths skin

Beneficial for skin with acne

Do bear in mind these effects do not generally last beyond a week or two, so don’t expect to stay looking 10 years younger!

How much are oxygen facials?

Can we play the politician on this one and sit on the fence? Oxygen facials vary hugely in prices across the UK (and indeed the world) - the celebs will pay several hundred pounds for their luxurious spa treatments whereas us plebiscites usually have to settle for cheaper deals, but you'll generally be looking at over £50 for a relatively good treatment. Longer and more relaxing oxygen facials can be upwards of £100. It's your choice what level you want!

Where can I get an oxygen facial?

Well, there’s an easy answer for that – just type oxygen facial and your location into our search engine above and see what the results bring you!

Keep Your Skin Happy as Autumn Arrives

Keep Your Skin Happy as Autumn Arrives

Its hit that time of year again, the less than harmonious change between summer and autumn. We are in a turmoil over whether we can still get away with wearing summer fashion, or it is definitely time for the Winter wardrobe to start rearing its head. Not to mention the effect the seasonal change has on our hair and skin. In summer we are glowing and natural, but as winter hits and the sun removes his hat- we hit winter skin territory. Here at Secret Salons we have compiled our best solutions to skin difficulties that flare up at this time –

spot creamSpots

The time old problem of spots particularly flares up at this time of year, and you can always count on them to show up right when you have a big date or event, or just day really! Various factors come into play as the reason behind spots – stress, diet, lifestyle. However, never fear! A good skin care regime can keep these little blighters away, especially an overnight spot treatment cream. It is also of vital importance to not squeeze spots, even if they seem all ripe and squeezable, restrain yourself to prevent scaring and spreading infection. Also a great cover up stick containing blemish-fighting ingredients is an excellent addition to any make up bag.

Redness

One problem some people have to contend with at this time of year is the small red blotches, or the flush that fills your cheeks asskin care you brace the chill. This redness can be due to skin damage from the summer, making the skin more sensitive to the changes in temperature. To combat this problem you should take a look at what skin care products you use and check they are suitable for sensitive skin. A gentle moisturiser targeted at reducing redness is also a brilliant idea, you’re skin will be back to its normal, even tone in no time. In the mean time though, using a green tinted foundation helps cover up the redness perfectly! Sounds a little bit bizarre, (Wicked Witch of the West springs to mind...), but the green actually cuts out the red giving the skin a more neutral tone.

Pigmentation Marks

During this seasonal transition brown pigmentation marks can crop up on our skin, having us reaching for a thick stick of concealer. The cause is those damn hormones, affecting melanin levels in the skin resulting in discolouration. Getting rid of them can be tough but using a specially formulated pigment regulator can really help fade those pesky marks. Also, as barmy as it sounds, wearing spf throughout winter will keep these

marks away from your skin.

dry skin care

Dry Skin

When winter hits so does meddlesome dry skin, the sun dries out your skin and the cold wind irritates it, meaning less natural moisture in the skin. A rich daily moisturiser is a must, bu be sure to find the right one for your skin type.

Losing Your Summer Glow

As summer leaves so does our post-sunbathing glow- boo! Tweaking your skin care routine can boost your skins radiance leaving you luminous. A good radiance enhancing moisturiser is obviously a great way to go, also try using a supercharging serum for serious oomph. Great skin makes us happy, and being happy makes your skin glow and so the cycle continues. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and wear your winter skin with pride.
