The history of oxygen skin care began with its topical application to hasten the healing of burns. Oxygen skin care is based on the premise that stable natural oxygen can improve the overall health of the skin. Even better, when combined with a liquid solution- commonly referred to as serums – offers even more benefits as the skin is misted with an oxygen infused serum . Anti-aging serums made of peptides and vitamins A, E & C boost the skin with antioxidants to protect and repair the skin from sun damage and build collagen to soften fine lines. Another popular serum and great for this climate, used for all ages, is the hydrating serum, designed to replace water loss and heal the skin after exposure to altitude, wind and/or dehydration. When visiting a dry climate this would be an especially great remedy to reverse the effects a dry environment has on your skin. Anti-aging oxygen skin care, in which plant-and peptide based serums are used, is especially popular today and is a wonderful spa service any time of the year.

The Benefits of Oxygen and Skin Care
The Best Time Of The Year For A Peel
Living at altitude and exposing our skin to the elements can cause a thick layer of build up, making lines and spots more noticeable. Spring and Fall are the best times of the year to shed these layers and give the skin a boost of energy.
Peeling the skin promotes new skin growth, removing old damaged skin and replacing it with shiny, youthful and healthy skin. Repairing the unhealthy cells that could some day become skin cancer. Other long term benefits are increased collagen production that improves the quality of the skin. Most noticeable is the immediate change in texture and often color of the skin as the surface below is stimulated causing the old layers to shed exposing the new healthier layers on top.
Lactic Acid is one of my favorite treatments for dry sun- damaged skin exposed to elevation. It works deep below the surface to slow down the production of brown spots, improving moisture levels in the skin. With lactic acid you have very little if any peeling as most of the action occurs below the surface.
Having a peel does not prevent you from going to work or doing other activities, a good moisturizer and SPF is recommended on the days that follow. Done in a series, a peel should begin mild with very little down time , increasingly becoming more stimulating with each treatment depending on the results you desire and your lifestyle. There are peels for every skin type, a variety of cocktails and applications. Before a peel I recommend having a consultation or facial to address your concerns and decide the best treatment for your skin type.

Exfoliate At Home
Exfoliation is one of the most important techniques that you can perform on your skin. It can resolve breakouts, clogged pores, dry skin, sun damage and soften fine lines. By removing the dull look, built up layers of dead skin and increasing the skins ability to heal. There are two types of exfoliants. First, a “chemical” or “acid, made most often from AHA’s and Fruit Enzymes, designed to dissolve the dry skin cells. You apply it, leave it on the skin and it does the work for you. Second, a “physical” exfoliant means you do the work, gently massaging the skin with a facial scrub. I recommend a combination of both physical and chemical exfoliants for the best results.

Get Rid Of Your Acne
Did you know that 85% of people battle acne at one point or another in their lives? Acne is an inherited disorder, where the pores shed dead skin cells at a much faster rate than normal pores. As a result, the dead skin builds up blocking the pore and allowing the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics can stop the growth of bacteria, but they do not offer a long term solution. Learning how to care for your skin by using products for your specific condition will provide the best long term results. Most clients see changes immediately and become completely clear in 90 days. As a skin care professional one of the most rewarding parts of my job is observing my clients using less and less makeup . I love to watch the skin transform and see the renewed confidence that follows.
