Oxygen Masks at the Ready

055mWhile viewing your favorite stars on 50-inch high-definition televisions, you’ll have to squint hard to find even a hint of a blemish on an A-lister’s face. Movie ticket sales call for flawless skin, period. So, what happens come awards season, when there’s no post-production team or on-hand airbrushing to come to the rescue of our red carpet royalty?

There’s one insider secret that these stars are familiar with. The Natura Bissé Bubble Pure Air. This oxygen-filled tent made its debut at the 2009 Oscars and subsequently travels around the globe to remedy stressed-out skin. When it made a pit stop in Dubai last week, I took the opportunity to review the Diamond Chromo-Lift Infusion Treatment.

After a series of cleansing, buffing and exfoliating, my skin felt squeaky clean. My therapist tells me that the pure particle-free air heightens the results of this treatment. More specifically, the absorption levels peak when the skin is in its purest form, making the efficacy of this facial treatment even more visible. Hoorah.

However, I was more than a little concerned when, in the final moments of the treatment, said therapist slicked a healthy helping of oil onto my newly polished skin. Witnessing the look of horror on my face, she told me, “This is the Natura Bissé Rosa Mosqueta Oil.”  Packed with rose hip oil (the latest beauty craze, courtesy of Miranda Kerr), this is known for its healing qualities and can help to rejuvenate even problematic skin. Well, why didn’t you say so?

Stepping out of the tent into direct sunlight, I am handed a mirror and, like any other human being, I automatically hone in on my flaws. Yet my skin does appear remarkably fresh to the naked eye—I find myself thinking that maybe I could forego the usual makeup tomorrow.

As the beauty tale goes, with every good facial you will witness a few blemishes surface in the days following. Give it three days, though, and you will look like you—albeit a better version.

The Natura Bissé Bubble Pure Air is on the move again in January 2014 so keep your eyes peeled for the GCC dates on the website.
