Correct Answer: C) Circulation & detox
When we think about facials today, we often picture glowing skin, dewy cheeks, and that unmistakable post-treatment confidence boost. And don’t get me wrong—I’m all for that. But the origin of facials? It had little to do with appearance… and everything to do with function.
In fact, the earliest facials were designed to support the skin’s natural elimination pathways—a critical piece of skin health that we don’t talk about nearly enough.
Wait—What Do Elimination Pathways Have to Do with Skin?
Your skin is the body’s largest organ, and it plays a major role in detoxification. Through processes like sweat and cellular turnover, it’s constantly working to clear out waste, manage inflammation, and maintain balance.
But when those systems get sluggish—due to stress, poor circulation, lack of movement, or even just daily buildup—your skin can start to show signs:
• Congestion
• Dullness
• Breakouts
• Puffiness
• Slower healing
Early facials were developed as a way to stimulate lymphatic flow, increase circulation, and encourage the skin to release what it didn’t need—so it could begin the real work of healing and regenerating.
Why That Still Matters Today
Here’s the thing: Even with all our modern advancements—LED, peels, microneedling—we can’t ignore the basics. If your skin is inflamed, stagnant, or congested, piling on treatments might not deliver the results you’re hoping for.
That’s why my Signature Oxygen Glo2Facial begins with supporting the skin’s natural detox functions. We focus on:
✔ Oxygenation and circulation
✔ Gentle lymphatic stimulation
✔ Enzymatic exfoliation to assist cellular renewal
✔ Hydration and barrier support to help your skin respond—not react
This combination creates a foundation your skin can actually build on—without irritation, inflammation, or over-treatment.
A Return to What Works
The glow you see after a truly restorative facial isn’t just surface-level—it’s a sign your skin is functioning well. And when that happens, the results last longer. Your products work better. You feel better in your skin, because your skin feels better.
So yes, facials have come a long way—but the best ones still honor what our skin has always needed:
• Circulation
• Support
• Space to renew
And that’s what we create together every time you step into my treatment room.
