Oxygenating Facial – The Ultimate Glow Treatment

Oxygenating facial at Puerto Banus Nail Bar and Aesthetics in Cork

Looking for the best facial for glowing, radiant skin? Our Oxygenating Facial is a cutting-edge treatment that restores energy, brightness, and vitality to tired, stressed, and lacklustre complexions. Combining the power of a Pro-Retinol Peel with advanced Carboxy Mask Therapy, this treatment deeply cleanses, resurfaces, and oxygenates the skin — leaving you with an instant, healthy glow.

What is the Oxygenating Facial?

The Oxygenating Facial treatment is designed to boost oxygen flow to your skin cells, improving circulation, hydration, and cellular renewal. Everyday stress, pollution, and ageing slow down oxygen delivery to the skin, which can cause dullness, fine lines, and uneven texture. This facial combats those effects by delivering oxygen-boosting ingredients while deeply nourishing and protecting the skin.

How the Treatment Works

  1. Consultation & Skin Analysis – Every session begins with a tailored consultation to address your unique skin needs.

  2. Deep Cleansing & Exfoliation – Impurities and dead skin cells are removed, preparing the skin for active ingredients.

  3. Pro-Retinol Peel – Smooths texture, brightens, and stimulates cell renewal.

  4. Carboxy (CO₂) Mask Therapy – Activates the “Bohr Effect,” stimulating microcirculation and oxygen flow, leaving skin plump and luminous.

  5. Hydrating Serums & Nourishment – Infused with targeted actives to combat dullness, dehydration, fine lines, or pigmentation.

  6. Relaxing Facial Massage – Relieves tension, supports circulation, and creates a spa-like experience.

  7. Protection & Glow Finish – Finished with moisturiser and SPF to lock in results.

Natural Pro-Retinol – How It Works

Our Natural Pro-Retinol Complex combines the latest scientific research with powerful natural ingredients to deliver visible results without irritation. This advanced formula is built on three key components:


1. Dual Algae Complex
  • Silicon Micro-Needles: The first algae contains natural silicon microneedles, which create micro-channels in the skin to enhance the absorption of active ingredients.

  • Dunaliella Salina (Pro-Retinol): Rich in beta-carotene, a precursor of Vitamin A, this unique algae acts as a powerful antioxidant. It helps protect against oxidative stress (a major cause of skin ageing) while stimulating collagen and elastin production — keeping the skin firm, plump, and resilient.

✨ Benefit: Strengthens skin structure, boosts elasticity, and protects against premature ageing..

2. Bakuchiol + Beta-Carotene
  • Bakuchiol: A plant-derived antioxidant extracted from Psoralea Corylifolia, often called the natural alternative to retinol.

  • Synergy with Beta-Carotene: Together, they regulate the “youth gene” by activating receptors sensitive to retinoic acid.

✨ Benefit: Reduces hyperpigmentation, smooths skin tone, improves texture, and calms inflammation — without the harsh side effects of synthetic retinol.


3. Ficin Enzyme (Fig Extract)
  • Derived from the leaves and stems of the fig tree, Ficin is a natural enzyme that supports gentle, controlled exfoliation.

  • It helps the skin shed dead cells naturally, accelerating renewal while keeping the skin barrier healthy.

✨ Benefit: Promotes fresh, radiant skin and enhances the effectiveness of anti-ageing treatments.

Carboxytherapy Mask – Oxygen Infusion Treatment

The Carboxytherapy Mask is a cutting-edge, non-invasive, and completely painless treatment designed to rejuvenate and restore the skin. This advanced facial infuses the skin with oxygen, improves overall tone and texture, combats visible signs of ageing, and stimulates natural collagen and hyaluronic acid production. The result is firmer, brighter, and healthier skin with reduced wrinkles, pigmentation, and post-acne scarring.

One of the key advantages of this treatment is that there is no downtime required — you can immediately return to your daily routine looking refreshed and radiant.


How It Works
  • Plant-Based Gel Complex: The mask contains botanical extracts that provide deep hydration, anti-inflammatory action, and gentle stimulation while the mask is active on the face and neck.

  • CO₂ Activation & Oxygen Boost: As the mask activates, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is released into the skin. This triggers a natural “awakening response” in the cells, improving blood circulation and stimulating enzymes responsible for rejuvenation. In response, the skin increases its oxygen levels (O₂), collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production, restoring firmness and youthful glow.

  • Exfoliation & Brightening: The ZENA CO₂ mask gently exfoliates the epidermis, smooths texture, and enhances skin radiance by balancing metabolic and regenerative processes.

  • Micro-Massage Effect: The gentle bubbling sensation created during the treatment provides a light massage, stimulating lymphatic drainage. This reduces puffiness, improves facial contours, and minimises dark circles under the eyes.

  • Detoxification & Absorption: By boosting circulation, the mask helps flush out toxins and metabolic waste, leaving the skin purified. It also enhances the absorption of active serums applied afterwards for even greater results.

This treatment renews the skin from both the inside and outside, delivering a glowing and youthful complexion.
