Yup – it’s spring, and no – we can’t remember the last time we saw sunshine either. The oxygen facial is the perfect antidote to average UK temperatures. A small boost of o2 can make a big impact if your skin’s feeling a bit tired or drab. While they’re firmly gender-neutral, the following benefits will have men’s ears picking up around the country.

1 The results are in...
Oxygen facials are big right now because the results are real. By pushing a stream of high-pressure oxygen into your face (as well as employing some slick-looking skincare products) this 30-60 minute facial will leave you feeling rejuvenated and energised. More like you've had the best night's sleep of your life, less like you're fighting hard to keep your eyes open. That's particularly handy when you're regretting that (twenty) third round last night.

2 It gives blemishes the boot
If you want to keep spots where they belong (in the past, along with baggy jeans, frosted tips and braces) booking regular oxygen facials could be the answer. Studies have shown that over time, boosted oxygen levels can clear minor skin complaints. Put it down to your good genes, smug early morning runs or your latest eat-clean regime. We won't tell.

3 It's your new secret weapon
There are times when every guy needs a confidence boost. You're not showing it, but on the inside you're bricking it about Friday's third date or tomorrow's make-or-break business presentation. Getting an oxygen facial a few days before can hydrate your skin, making it look clearer, smoother and fuller. (That'll last four to six days after the treatment). And if you don't get the fourth date, remember: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
