In this blog you will learn how and why our skin needs oxygen for optimum skin health, how our skin absorbs oxygen and which products help our skin utilise oxygen most efficiently.

Skin Oxygenation

The oxygen we breath is vital for our survival and skin health.

Our bodies absorb oxygen through the skin as well as through our breath and lungs. When our skin absorbs oxygen it is called Oxygenation.

How Is Works

Skin receives oxygen and nutrients from the blood supply within the dermis in an area known as the Dermal Epidermal Junction (DEJ). This is where the two layers of skin interact. (See arrow in the image above).

As we age the Dermal Epidermal Junction begins to thin, resulting in decreased oxygen transfer.

Lack Of Oxygen In Our Skin

Factors such as climate, UV exposure, sleep and diet can accelerate skin ageing and while skin starts to age, our skin stops functioning as well as it used to.

This means that our skins ability to absorb and utilise oxygen starts to weaken.

What Does A Decrease In Oxygen Look Like On The Skin?

As we age, so does our microcirculation which compromises the skins optimum oxygen levels. This can result in a slowdown of cell turnover, breakdown of collagen and elastin, and the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation.

Lack of oxygen can also diminish the cells' ability to regenerate and reduces cell proliferation.

Introducing Dermalogica’s Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream

Dermalogica's Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream is clinically proven to give 4 years back from signs of premature ageing by firming, lifting and revitalising with premium hydrating and oxygen-optimising phyto actives. This innovative product breathes new life into our skin.

Potent ingredients give instant results, plus these amazing ingredients continue to work and help your own skin absorb and utilise oxygen better this is why its takes a little longer to show firmness and elasticity to be visible.
