Why should I be concerned about supplying oxygen to my skin?
Oxygen depletion is one of the things that happens to older skin, regardless of whether it's been affected by sun damage or
any other health-related factor. Why or how that happens is completely unknown, though it is thought to have something to do
with blood flow and a reduction in lung capacity as we age...

Super-oxygenated water solution safely speeds healing of burns, chronic wounds
A super-oxygenated water developed in California by Oculus Innovative Science has been shown to safely kill bacteria and speed up the healing of
diabetic ulcers, burns and wounds. The solution, which looks, smells and tastes like water, wipes out single-celled organisms without harming
surrounding tissue, which makes it ideal for treating chronic wounds. The solution has seen positive tests in Europe, Canada and Mexico, and
should be available to physicians in the United States in June. Hoji Alimi, founder and president of Oculus, says the solution could prove effective in
combating hard-to-kill superbugs like bird flu, which is resistant to antibiotics and vaccines. Alimi also says his product could be used to combat
bioterrorism, as the solution can potentially combat anthrax. Be sure to read the related article, The Top Ten Technologies: #9 Vibrational Medicine.
Original news summary: (http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,67472,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_7)
- A California company has figured out how to use two simple materials -- water and salt -- to create a solution that wipes out single-celled
organisms, and which appears to speed healing of burns, wounds and diabetic ulcers.
- The solution looks, smells and tastes like water, but carries an ion imbalance that makes short work of bacteria, viruses and even hard-to-kill
spores.
- Developed by Oculus Innovative Sciences in Petaluma, the super-oxygenated water is claimed to be as effective a disinfectant as chlorine
bleach, but is harmless to people, animals and plants.
- Oculus said the solution, called Microcyn, may prove effective in the fight against superbugs, crossover viruses like bird flu and Ebola, and
bioterrorism threats such as anthrax.
- The company has just been granted approval in the United States to test the solution in the treatment of wounds, and already has
government approval in Europe, Canada and Mexico for diverse uses, from disinfectant to wound irrigation.
- Doctors conducting trials in Mexico and India are recounting stories at international conferences of their surprise at another feature of the
solution: It speeds the healing of severe burns and diabetic ulcers.
- According to Hoji Alimi, founder and president of Oculus, the ion-hungry water creates an osmotic potential that ruptures the cell walls of
single-celled organisms, and out leaks the cell's cytoplasm.
- Because multicellular organisms -- people, animals, plants -- are tightly bound, the water is prevented from surrounding the cells, and there
is no negative impact.
- Dr. Amar Pal Singh Suri of the Diabetic Foot Care Clinic in Delhi, India, began experimenting with Microcyn after learning of it last fall in
Germany.
- India leads the world in diabetes, with 37 million people affected.

Dr. Paul Herzog, MD, one of the great pioneers in studying the skin aging process and its relationship to oxygen deficiency, wrote:
"The main reason for the premature aging process in facial skin is that the subcutaneous cell tissue, which should regularly receive sufficient
oxygen and nutrients by fluid exchange between blood plasma and the interstitial fluid, received inadequate amounts of these nutrients and
oxygen even as early as puberty, presumably due to the inefficiency. The oxygen deficiency arising in this way can be so important that the
facial skin can no longer maintain its young and healthy appearance. The biological processes involved must therefore be given assistance in
compensation for the deficit of oxygen and vital nutrients such as vitamin A, glucose and water, so allowing the skin to maintain its young
appearance."
Oxygen Facials








Quick Facial:
- Spray oxygenated water with the spritzer bottle onto a foam face mask and sit or lie back as it oxygenates your skin.
Ultimate Oxygen Facial:
Use your favorite anti-aging or skincare product. We’re using Oxygenated Aloe Vera Gel here.
- Place one Gel Mask in a container of warm water to warm it for later use.
- Place the other Gel Mask into the refrigerator for later use.
- Spread the oxygenated Aloe Vera gel onto a foam face mask to provide oxygen and moisture for your skin. This is especially soothing to
skin that has been exposed to years of sun, wind, and chlorinated water.
- Cover the foam face mask with the warm Gel Mask and leave it on until it cools completely. This opens the pores and allows the oxygen
and the Aloe Vera to enter your skin.
- Keeping the Foam mask on, replace the warm Gel Mask with the cold one from the refrigerator. This closes the pores and refreshes your
skin.
- Cremes and lotions can be spread onto masks with the angled spatula for customized facials. The masks can be washed and reused for
different skincare products. Additional Foam and Gel Masks are available.
