If you suffer from an oily skin complexion, oxygen therapy can help you balance your skin so that it looks and feels its very best. The main challenge with oily skin complexion is that on the one hand, you need to keep it clean and remove excess oil, yet on the other hand, you don’t want to strip away all of the oil. If the skin is over-cleansed, the body produces even more oil to compensate for the perceived dryness. The NowMi oxygen therapy for oily skin complexion can help you deeply cleanse your facial skin and at the same time nourish it with vitamins and minerals. The nourishment includes hyaluronic acid which keeps it moist as well as vitamins C and E that rejuvenate and protect it.
What causes oily skin?
Oily skin complexion is caused by the over production of sebum. Sebum is an oily, waxy substance that contains triglycerides and fatty acids (57%), wax esters (26%), squalene (12%), and cholesterol (4.5%). It is produced by the body’s sebaceous glands and it moisturizes the skin and protects it from water evaporation.
The main causes of oily skin are:
- Genetics: Skin type is often hereditary. You may have inherited a genetic makeup that includes larger sebaceous glands that produce excess oil.
- Over-cleansing: If you have an oily skin complexion and you wash or scrub it too hard with an abrasive tool or a coarse exfoliator, you might strip it of its moisture. This will cause the sebaceous glands to increase their production of oil. For this reason, it is important to cleanse your skin with a gentle yet powerful cleanser.
- Cosmetics: Using the wrong cosmetics for your skin type can cause it to become oiler. For example, some products may dry out the skin thus stimulating excess oil production while others may make it too greasy. If you have oily skin, it is recommended to use products labeled as either oil-free or noncomedogenic
- Hormonal changes: Androgens are the hormones often associated with increased oil production. When Androgen levels fluctuate, such as during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy or menopause, this can stimulate the production of sebum. Stress and illness can also cause changes in hormonal levels which may result in oiler skin.
- Environment: If you live in a hot and humid environment, this may lead to the body producing excessive amounts of sebum. On the other end of the spectrum, if you live in very cold climates which dry out the skin, your body may respond by increasing its sebum production.
- Medication: Different medications can stimulate the body to produce excess amounts of sebum. Hormonal replacement medications or oral contraceptives have been shown to do so, as well as medications that dehydrate the skin.
- Diet: Junk food and highly processed foods that are high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, can cause the skin to become oiler and greasier.
The NowMi Oxygen therapy for oily skin complexion
The NowMi treatment is an ideal treatment for oily skin. It enables you to cleanse your skin gently, get effectively, keeps it well hydrated and nourishes it. Best of all, the treatment takes only 5 minutes and you can carry it out in the comfort of your own home.
Facial skin cleansing:
The NowMi treatment has two cleansing functions- a daily cleanser and a weekly exfoliation.
Daily cleanser:
The daily cleanser is highly effective yet very gentle on the skin. It has a surface with silicone micro-fingers upon which the NowMi gel is applied and massaged into the skin. In addition, the NowMi device uses sonic energy to improve the cleansing action. The device emits 6,000 sonic pulses per minute which ensures that the cleansing gel penetrates and cleans all of the pores. You can use the cleanser more than once a day if your skin is very oily.
Cleansing with sonic energy is highly effective and research has shown that facial skin cleansing with sonic energy is up to 6 times more efficient than hand washing alone.
In addition to cleansing the skin, the treatment infuses the skin with vitamins E, B3, B5 and Dead Sea minerals which nourish it and help it to remain healthy and balanced.
Weekly Exfoliation
The NowMi treatment gently exfoliates the skin and removes its outermost layer. This layer contains dead skin cells and accumulated dirt such as makeup residue and pollution. In general, oily skin is more prone to breakouts because the excess oil mixes with the dead skin cells and dirt.
The exfoliation is carried out using the NowMi vitamin C effervescent tablet. The tablet has a slightly coarse texture. When it is mixed with the NowMi lubricant gel and massaged into the skin, the tablet effectively, yet softly, exfoliates the skin.

Nourishment
The NowMi weekly treatment infuses the skin with pure vitamin C and vitamin E. Vitamin C improves moisture retention and hydration of the skin which makes it ideal for oily skin. In addition Vitamin C and E are powerful antioxidants that:
a) protect from UVA and UVB damage
b) help the skin to heal faster from blemishes, sunburns and acne scars
c) Help the skin to look brighter and healthier
Oxygenation
The NowMi oxygen therapy for oily skin complexion is unique since it enables you to enjoy a spa-quality oxygen facial in a home-use device. Traditional facial oxygenation treatments are only available in professional spas, but the NowMi scientists created a technology that enables the same oxygenation effect in a home-use device. The NowMi treatment is clinically proven and uses the same science-backed skin oxygenation technology as the OxyGeneo treatment- a professional facial that has been used in clinics since 2013.
The NowMi treatment stimulates the body to oxygenate itself from within. It does this by creating a carbon-dioxide rich environment on the skin’s surface. The skin then responds by sending oxygen-rich blood cells to the treatment area. As a result of the oxygenation, the active ingredients are best absorbed by the skin and the treatment results are optimized.

The NowMi oxygen therapy for oily skin complexion lets you enjoy the best of all worlds- it provides you with a spa-quality treatment in the comfort of your home. The treatment helps keep oily skin in check- it makes sure it is clean and at the same time nourishes and hydrates it.
