The use of oxygen masks for the skin
The benefit of oxygen masks for the skin is that they resume the processes of skin regeneration, enriching it with oxygen. Due to this, aging processes on the cellular level are slowed down. Initially, oxygen cosmetic procedures were performed only in beauty salons. The procedure was rather expensive and not affordable for everyone. To date, an oxygen mask can be found in any cosmetic store at a very reasonable cost.

When in contact with the skin, these substances absorb oxygen from the environment, split it and transport it to the skin cells. Due to this, the oxygen level in the skin cells increases, the regeneration and fermentation processes are resumed. The skin begins to produce the necessary amount of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen. The use of oxygen masks for the skin will be noticeable after the first procedure. The color of the skin will improve significantly, wrinkles will be smoothed out, and the contours of the face will become taut.
