In pre-historc times the earths atmosphere contained oxygen levels of up to 35%. Today thanks to the industrial revolution and deforestation, that number has decreased to approximately 21% and some major cities as low as 17%

Oxygen is vital to the survival of every cell in our body. In fact the average human can survive weeks without food, days without water yet only minutes without oxygen. Oxygen has incredible regenerative powers. Physicians have used oxygen for decades to treat burns gangrene and other wounds. High concentrations of oxygen help to trigger the bodies natural healing functions and viruses, fungal infections and the bacteria that cause acne cannot live in an oxygen rich environments.

Oxygen provides energy to our cells and is essential in cell metabolism. It is essential to maintain your cellular function and repair. Oxygen is needed to promote fibroblast proliferation and collagen production which is an essential part of the skins healing process, the availability of oxygen to skin tissues play an important and integral role in skin recovery.

Hooves, claws, horns and even shells of turtles and spines of porcupines are composed of Keratin, the same cells that make up skin, hair and nails.

New skin cells are formed in the basal layer, the lowest layer of the epidermis. These new cells gradually push their way to the top to form the stratum corneum and eventually shed off. We loose roughly 30000 – 40000 skin cells every hour and almost a million cells every day. It takes approximately one month for the new cells to reach the top, which means the skin you have a month from today will be completely new compared to the skin you have now.

As we mature, our skin cell regeneration deteriorates and the rate of skin cell renewal slows down. Regular exfoliation accelerates the skins natural desquamation process. The removal of dead skin cells allows fresh new cells to be revealed improving the appearance of the skin. Exfoliation also increases blood circulation, brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, removes dead skin cells from the surface helping to keep pores from becoming clogged and improves skin tone by removing pigmented surface cells.
