The Oxygen Facial in Aspen: Your Complete FAQ for Hydrated, Luminous Skin

Here are some of the most-asked questions about the Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial in Aspen, offered exclusively at our Aspen Day spa, Heaven on Earth. I’ve curated these from the guests I see most often: travelers, locals, and skincare enthusiasts who want to maintain their glow even in Aspen’s dry, high-altitude climate.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes the Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial in Aspen so popular, it’s the combination of cooling oxygen, hyaluronic hydration, and vitamin-rich serums that leave skin instantly calm and glowing. This treatment has become a favorite for anyone who wants fresh, lifted, and luminous results without downtime.

Whether you’re preparing for a special event or simply want to restore moisture to skin affected by Aspen’s sun and altitude, the Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial in Aspen delivers visible results and long-lasting radiance. Learn what to know before and after your treatment at Heaven on Earth Aspen, where radiant, hydrated skin is always in season.

Q: Can I get an Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial if I have a sunburn or windburn?
A: Yes. It’s one of the best facials you can choose for overexposed skin, especially in Aspen’s sun and altitude. This treatment delivers cooling oxygen and hyaluronic acid to calm, hydrate, and comfort stressed skin. The Vitamin B Serum is especially soothing after sun or wind exposure and ideal for anyone recovering from a day outdoors, whether skiing, hiking, or simply enjoying the mountain air. If your skin is blistered or peeling, your esthetician may adjust the treatment to keep it gentle and restorative.

Q: Is it safe for sensitive skin or rosacea?
A: Yes. The oxygen facial in Aspen is designed to calm and hydrate rather than irritate. The oxygen infusion and soothing serums help reduce redness, strengthen the skin barrier, and replenish moisture, making it safe even for sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin.

Q: Can I go exercise or hike afterward?
A: Yes. You can absolutely enjoy your day afterward. It’s preferable to plan your hike or workout beforehand, since you’ll want to avoid washing your face or sweating for about two hours after your facial. This allows the active serums to fully absorb and metabolize into your skin for the best results. If you’ve already been active, it’s the perfect post-adventure recovery for your skin — a common favorite for Aspen’s hikers and skiers.

Q: Should I wash my face after my facial?
A: Not right away. For best results, avoid washing your face for at least two hours after your Aspen Oxygen Facial. This allows the hyaluronic acid and vitamin-rich serums to continue working beneath the surface. After that, you can return to your regular skincare routine, ideally using your Intraceuticals Daily Serums to extend that radiant glow.

Q: What should I do or avoid afterward?
A: Try to avoid saunas, steam rooms, or overly hot showers for the rest of the day. Drink plenty of water to maximize hydration from within and protect your skin with moisturizer and SPF if you’re outdoors — especially in Aspen’s bright mountain sun.

Q: Will my face be red afterward?
A: No. This #1 requested Aspen facial leaves your skin calm, dewy, and refreshed with zero downtime. Even sensitive skin types find it soothing rather than stimulating, making it ideal before travel, events, or dinner reservations later that same day.

Q: Can I wear makeup after my facial?
A: Absolutely. This treatment actually makes your makeup look smoother, more even, and naturally radiant. Many clients book it before photoshoots, weddings, or film work because it creates a flawless canvas for makeup. It’s even performed on movie sets and before red-carpet events for its instant, camera-ready glow.

Q: Can I get one before a big event or photoshoot?
A: Yes. Often called the “red-carpet facial,” it delivers immediate, radiant results that continue to improve over the next 24 hours as the serums fully absorb. You can schedule it the day before or even the same day as your event for smooth, plump, and makeup-ready skin — perfect for Aspen weddings, galas, and special occasions.

Q: What does the oxygen actually do during the facial?
A: Oxygen itself is a gas and does not penetrate the skin. Instead, it acts as a delivery system that helps push Intraceuticals concentrated serums deeper into the skin's surface layers, where ingredients like hyaluronic acid, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and green tea extract can work more effectively. The oxygen also cools and calms the skin, reducing inflammation and leaving it visibly radiant and refreshed.

Q: Can it be combined with other treatments?
A: Yes. Many guests pair it with light exfoliation, LED therapy, or microcurrent for enhanced results. It’s also an excellent follow-up to peels or dermaplaning because it deeply rehydrates and calms the skin. Your esthetician can tailor the combination to your skin’s needs and timing.

Q: How long do the results last?
A: You’ll see a visible difference immediately with smoother texture, brighter tone, and deep hydration that continues to improve for the next 24 hours. Results typically last five to seven days, sometimes longer, with consistent home care. Using Intraceuticals Daily Serums helps extend your glow between treatments.

Q: What should I use at home to keep my skin glowing after my facial?
A: The Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Daily Serum is my top recommendation. It mirrors the professional serum used during your oxygen facial, layering hyaluronic acid and peptides to deeply hydrate, smooth fine lines, and enhance your post-treatment glow. Used daily, it helps your results last longer and your skin stay balanced in Aspen’s dry climate.

Shop the Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Daily Serum online at Heaven on Earth Aspen to keep your post-facial glow lasting long after you leave the spa.

Q: Will one oxygen facial make a big difference?
A: Yes. Even a single treatment leaves your skin smoother, more hydrated, and visibly lifted. It’s an instant pick-me-up for dull or dehydrated skin, the kind of glow that makes people ask what you’ve done differently. With regular sessions, the benefits accumulate, resulting in stronger, firmer, and more resilient skin over time.

Q: How often can I get this facial?
A: For the best results, start with a series of six facials spaced one week apart to build hydration and firmness, then maintain your results every four to six weeks. I have some guests who come in a couple of times a week, while they're here. Many guests also book a treatment when their skin feels dull or dehydrated from travel or Aspen’s dry, high-altitude air.

It’s easy to see why this is considered the best facial in Aspen, a treatment that delivers hydration, glow, and lasting balance in every season. Book your oxygen facial at Heaven on Earth Aspen, where mountain air meets modern skincare, and leave with skin that feels replenished and refreshed.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I’m Pila, the owner and hands-on esthetician behind Heaven on Earth in beautiful Aspen, Colorado. My skincare journey began over 30 years ago, when a “gap year” led me to a job at Clinique. What started as work quickly became a passion—and ultimately, a calling.

Since then, I’ve had the honor of working with thousands of clients, each with their own story and skin journey. I created Heaven on Earth from a simple belief: skincare isn’t just about products or trends—it’s about connection, care, and rituals that restore you from the inside out.

Whether you’re visiting my spa in Aspen or connecting with me here online, thank you for trusting me with your skin. I can’t wait to share my favorite products, tips, and a little bit of heaven with you.
