Oxygen Essential
Colorless, odorless and gaseous in form, oxygen occurs naturally in the earth's atmosphere. We all learned in school that oxygen is essential to life. But, human's relationship to oxygen is more complicated than that.
We can live without food for weeks; without water for days; but remove oxygen from the equation and we'd last only five minutes. Oxygen is required for cell metabolism. Stop the supply, and we can't metabolize.
Capillaries deliver oxygen to cells; the skin receives oxygen through a fine network of capillaries in the dermis itself. If skin does not receive proper oxygen, cell division, regeneration and metabolism slow down. The result - tired looking skin prone to premature aging.
Aging plays a roll in oxygen delivery to the skin - at age 30, the skin's oxygen content averages 75%. At age 40, it averages only 50%.
Professional treatments, combined with healthy eating and exercise habits, can help regulate - or increase - the skin's oxygen content. We need all the oxygen we can get…it's essential.
