So you’ve spent the week moisturising religiously to keep your holiday tan in tip top shape, only for it to all but disappear once you get off the plane on the other side. The reason? Harsh air conditioning on flights is well known for drying out your skin, leaving it scaley and trapped of oxygen. Unfortunately, this triggers your skin to start prematurely flaking, leaving your well-earned tan in a sorry state within hours of touching down. Introducing the oxygen facial<\/a>. Like a tall glass of water for your complexion, this hydrating treatment is designed to leave skin bright and luminous, breathing much-needed moisture back into your face, which is key in helping to slow down the drying process. Having already gained a huge celebrity following for its rejuvenating and restorative properties, oxygen facials are also known to lighten sun damage, and have great antibacterial properties to help kill nasty bacteria that can build up on the skin after a stuffy flight. So next time you’re booking in for a holiday, why not book in for one of these dreamy facials while you’re at it. Your tan will love you for it.<\/p>\n\n
