How to Build a 60-Minute Oxygen Facial Protocol for Smoother, More Radiant Skin

How to Build a 60-Minute Oxygen Facial Protocol for Smoother, More Radiant Skin

Ashley Ford, Licensed Esthetician, built the protocol around a clear sequence — prep the surface first, then work it with formulas, and, at the end, set the result in an oxygen-rich environment

One 60-minute session — and the skin looked smoother, fresher, and visibly more radiant, with more even light reflection across the entire face.

Dry corneocytes and residue from SPF and sebum form an uneven layer on the stratum corneum. It makes the texture look visually rougher and keeps cosmetic formulas from applying evenly.

Format: 60 minutes, one session
Focus: surface texture, dryness, dullness
Goal: prep the surface, ensure even formula contact with the skin, and complete the session in an oxygen-rich environment
Key device: Zemits OxiVelour PRO
Visible result: smoother, fresher-looking skin with more even light reflection

Dullness

Uneven microtexture and vellus hair scatter light unevenly, which makes the skin look less smooth and less luminous.

Dehydrated-looking texture

When the upper layers lack water, the skin loses its plump, full look, and fine dehydration lines become more visible in movement and in light.

Step 3. Oxygen Serum Misting — OxyRevive Modality

Step 2. Dermaplaning

Protocol Logic:
How Each Step Built the Result

Step 1. Double Cleanse

What was done: the OxyDeep modality on the Zemits OxiVelour PRO with the roller applicator, paired with 24K Gold Peptide Serum.
Why: to support a fresh, less puffy-looking complexion, distribute the peptide serum evenly, and bring the active part of the protocol to a comfortable close.
What happened in the skin: the roller applicator delivers gentle mechanical stimulation in a massage technique, while a continuous flow of oxygen envelops the treatment area, creating an oxygen-rich cosmetic environment. The peptide serum spreads in an even layer over the already-prepped surface. The massage phase also works on the sensory side of the result: this is where facial muscle tension releases, and the tone looks livelier and more rested afterward.

Step 4. Oxygen Massage — OxyDeep Modality

What was done: the OxyRevive modality on the Zemits OxiVelour PRO atomized Serum with Peptides — Zemits OxyTight PRO — into a fine oxygen mist.
Why: to restore hydration levels in the stratum corneum and support skin comfort.
What happened in the skin: the serum breaks into fine droplets and settles in an even layer across the entire surface. The OxyTight PRO formula is built on a clear hydration architecture: hyaluronic acid and glycerin hold water in the stratum corneum; amino acids and sodium lactate — components of the skin's natural moisturizing factor — support the surface water balance; peptides support the look of smoother, firmer skin; Ceramide NP and argan oil support surface comfort after exfoliation. Visually, this creates a dewy, "glass skin" finish.

What was done: dermaplaning with Dermaplane Pro 10D blades.
Why: to remove vellus hair and the surface buildup of dry, dead skin cells.
What happened in the skin: with vellus hair and dry corneocytes removed, the surface became smoother, light began reflecting more evenly, and skincare products began spreading more evenly across the skin.

What was done: first cleanse — Circadia Vitamin Veil Cleansing Oil; second cleanse — GlyMed Plus Glycolic Cleanser 10%.
Why:

• Circadia Vitamin Veil Cleansing Oil — to remove makeup, SPF, and sebum.
• GlyMed Plus Glycolic Cleanser 10% — for deeper cleansing and gentle surface exfoliation.

What happened in the skin: the oil phase dissolved lipid-based impurities, while glycolic acid loosened the bonds between surface corneocytes. This helped make the next step — dermaplaning — more even and controlled.

Step 6. Finishing Products

What was done: GlyMed Plus Skin Recovery Mist, GlyMed Plus Skin Restoring Fulvic Elixir, GlyMed Plus Oxygen Cream, Circadia Moisturizer — to preserve hydration, XCELLARISPRO CC CREAM — for protection and a more even-looking complexion, GlyMed Plus Lip Treatment.
Why: to set the result with a supportive final layer.
What happened in the skin: the products are applied in layers, so each new layer settles evenly over the previous one.

Step 5. Oxygen Dome + LED

What was done: the OxyDome modality on the Zemits OxiVelour PRO combined with red LED light from the Zemits VivaLumix, 15 minutes.
Why: to finish the session in an oxygen-rich environment while the applied serums remain on the surface.
What happened in the skin: oxygen flows into the transparent dome through three dedicated inlets and circulates evenly over the face, creating a localized oxygen-rich environment. At the same time, red LED light works through the logic of photobiomodulation — light interacts with light-sensitive structures in the epidermis, supporting a calmer, more even-looking complexion.
