Why is oxygen so important for the skin?

One of our bestseller cleansers, Guinot Mousse Nettoyante Bioxygene – Cleansing Foam, promises to help stimulate cell oxygenation, while removing make-up and cleansing your skin. Your skin becomes more radiant and looks refreshed.

But what’s so important about oxygenating skin cells, and what benefits does it have? We have IntuitiveTouchTherapies to thank for some science facts, where they reveal the incredible healing power oxygen has on our skin.

All cells require oxygen for optimal functioning, including our skin cells. A lack of oxygen in the skin can cause blood vessels to shrink and disrupt its ability to function properly, which can lead to the skin looking dull.

Besides allowing the skin to breathe, oxygen applied directly to the skin has many beneficial actions:

Promotes Skin Healing

Oxygen stimulates the body’s natural healing function by increasing circulation, thus helping the skin to create new cells at a faster rate.

Anti-Inflammatory

Oxygen soothes inflammation and irritation by creating a cooling and calming effect to the skin.

Antibacterial

Oxygen removes debris and destroys bacteria (responsible for blemishes, irritation…), leaving the skin perfectly balanced and protected.

Stimulates Collagen & Elastin Production

Oxygen increases the strength of collagen and elastin fibers by helping to metabolize new cells. Oxygen is crucial for healthy cell development.

Adds Plumpness to the Skin

Oxygen can temporarily enhance the skin by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and creating a plumping effect. The skin is left with a glow and looking healthier.
