BAZAAR Spa Awards 2019: Best Oxygen Facial

Best Oxygen Facial: AsterSpring

Oxygenating Vitalzyme Therapy, RM448 for 75 minutes

FRESH FORWARD

Touted by celebrities such as Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, oxygen facials have earned a reputation for breathing in new life to tired skin, counteracting the negative effects of stress, poor diet and compromised air quality. A lack of oxygen equals lacklustre, dehydrated skin, which the Oxygenating Vitalzyme Therapy at AsterSpring neutralises by blasting skin with high doses of oxygen, feeding it vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The benefits are two-pronged: skin is detoxified and cellular metabolism is kicked up a notch, resuscitating a drab complexion with a mighty jolt of radiance, clarity, and smoothness.

BLAST AWAY

Skin is first prepped with a cleanse, exfoliation, and extraction, followed by a power oxygen essence applied with a Bio-Therapeutic Oxyderm machine to aid penetration into the deepest layers of skin. Next, an enzyme biocellulose mask, packing extracts of fruits and vegetables that protect skin from free radicals, is massaged in, accompanied by an ultra-relaxing upper shoulder massage. As a final step, a Vitalzyme Bio-Cellulose Cloth Mask comprising of 88 types of enzymes and coconut fibre is applied, followed by a cold treatment to soothe, calm, and lock in the ingredients.

SUPERCHARGED GLOW

The result is that après-gym look; just like how oxygen-rich blood floods skin after working out, the facial sustains radiance-boosting benefits, brightening, balancing, and reviving the complexion. Skin feels and looks like it just had a breath of fresh air: super moisturised with a glowy lustre, quick to heal, and ready to wage war on free radicals.
