Chroma Oxy facial

Chroma Oxy Facial treatment at Büty Salon

The Blurb:

The Chroma Oxy Facial Treatment is different to most facials; it is high tech, machine-focused rather than reliant on a therapist’s hands and lots of lotions and potions.

The Process:

My therapist Sam, who boasts over 20 years’ experience, took me through the treatment, checking I was comfortable with the pressure of the machine at every stage. She used a Decléor cleanser before starting with the lymphatic drainage stage of the machine (by increasing the lymphatic flow, toxins are removed from your body). Sam ran the handheld device over my décolletage area, neck and face while it made gurgling and breaking wind-type noises. The machine was gentle on my face although left a couple of scratch marks on my neck.

Sam is very personable and takes a holistic approach; she asked a few questions about my lifestyle before offering some advice – I need a regular massage (tell me something I don’t know).

I missed out on the peel as that part of the machine needed replacing (the high tech part had been ordered from Italy), so Sam gave me a relaxing massage with her expert fingers (I was thankful for the missing part) while a cooling CACI mask worked its magic.

An image of Michael Jackson popped into my head as the oxygen mask was placed over my nose and mouth and Sam’s hand-held device gently pushed oxygen into my skin. She also incorporated lavender oil, known for its relaxing and calming properties.

The Result:

My skin felt smoother and its tone was more even directly following the treatment. Sam had concluded the treatment with a light Decléor moisturiser, so I felt confident to go outside without make-up (don’t you hate leaving a salon with oily skin and hair!). A few days later the dry areas haven’t returned.

Chroma Oxy Facial Treatment takes one hour and 20–30 minutes; from £47.
