Radiant Skin In A Snap!  

With a marketplace saturated by anti-aging beauty products it’s easy to be skeptical, but I was happily shocked by the noticeable results of The O2 Blitz Facial. Most oxygen facials use a little wand to blow O2 over your skin – this is so basic. Blitz Facial Bar’s O2 treatment is way more advance and long lasting.

The exclusively-designed Blitz oxygen facial combines both therapeutic-grade Oxygel and a sheet mask, clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. When the sheet mask is placed over a thick layer of oxygenated gel, CO2 is generated. This creates a sensation of tiny bubbles fizzing and snapping over the skin. Ingredients include licorice extract, eucalyptus, ivy, glycerin, sodium bicarbonate and caffeine. This O2 facial delivers oxygen direct to your skin; a natural way to hydrate, tone and brighten.

Here’s What To Expect

The O2 Blitz Facial is relaxing from the beginning, as you are fully reclined in a comfy chair for one hour. The facial starts with make-up removal, then a gentle cleanse to prepare the skin for treatment, including exfoliation. Next, the Oxygel goes on refreshingly cold, followed by the sheet mask which is gently pressed into the gel. This action generates heat, and the sensation of fizzing bubbles on the face. The mask stays on for about 30 minutes, and in that time you get to enjoy either a head or hand massage. Once the mask comes off, the face is massaged with argan oil, followed by a skin renewal serum, a soothing balm and then a moisturizer – all Blitz Facial Bar products. Of all the skin care products I loved the retexturizing pumpkin scrub the best.

Blitz Facial Bar has its own exclusive line of eco-friendly products which contain pure essential oils with ingredients derived from natural sources; they are free of parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate and artificial colours.

The next time at Blitz Facial Bar I would like to try the Laser Spot Treatment which diminishes and clears acne spots while controlling bacteria and oil secretion. Sounds like an ideal treatment to deal with the affects of Toronto humidity and sweaty summer days.

The O2 Blitz Facial is the perfect pre-vacation treatment as it provides immediate results that last for over a week! I absolutely recommend this oxygen facial.

You’re a busy person but that’s no excuse to take care of yourself, right? From head-to-toe our city is full of fast and speedy services from wax bars to nail salons and our gyms are just around the corner from the office these days. Now say hello to Toronto’s first facial bar! Blitz Facial Bar (from the owners of the successful Body Blitz Spa) has opened up two shiny locations to cater to our busy lifestyles and we took notice!

I had recently returned from soaking up the sun on vacation and felt I needed a good facial when I had returned to the city. After all, the sun, surf and sand wreak havoc on my skin. However, I knew timing would be a challenge as I transitioned back into the reality of life. As much as I would love to spend several hours in a serene spa, I knew I couldn’t fit that in right now. A facial at my usual spa meant taking more time and the desire to linger in a lounge where I could peacefully nosh on some goodies and sip some zen tea while catching up on the latest tabloid trash. There’s a time and a place for that.

I had a couple of meetings downtown and knew that Blitz Facial Bar locations were accessible (Leslieville and Trinity-Bellwood). I wanted to give it a try so I checked myself in. By the way, walk-ins are also welcomed. They’ve had a steady business since they’ve opened in May this year and it’s no surprise since they already have a loyal following with their Body Blitz Spas.

When you walk in to the Blitz Facial Bar space you’ll notice that there are open-air facial stations for the treatments so you can get right to your service without having to change into a robe. The most popular service is the Express Facial #BlitzandGlow ($48) — a half-hour service that is ideal for ongoing maintenance. This facial takes care of all the essentials including cleanse, exfoliation, toning, serum massage on face, arms and neck area. There are other signature express facials (and yes, they do extractions) and the qualified esthetician can help you figure out what your personal skincare needs are. If you have discolouration and want to smooth skin out evenly you’ll be happy to know that they also do microdermabrasion. My esthetician  told me that the products they use are created by the Blitz owners and exclusive to them. I was pleased to hear this as I’ve enjoyed their body products (hello, Mint Lime Body Lotion & Wash). The skin care products are made with natural ingredients sourced in Canada.

My aesthetician noticed that my skin was pretty dehydrated and had recommended a Vitamin C Boost which I agreed whole-heartedly and glad I did. Even a few days after my facial I’ve noticed a difference in texture. Other “Booster Shots” sounded pretty awesome but I didn’t need them this time around. A few other examples; A Skin Renewal Boost is a penetrating mask and rescue serum to help calm rosacea and sensitive skin; Plump It Up offers plumping without filler and uses a deep moisturizing mask and plumping serum; Cold Plunge is a cold jade stone massage that instantly calms redness and close pores.  There’s even a beard oil treatment for the guys. Boosts are add-ons to your facial ($10 each).

The service was great and ideal for us who want a high quality facial but don’t have the time to linger. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and didn’t rush. Sounds funny right?  I’m happy to find this spot that will offer a great facial and met my needs of rehydrating my skin. And yes, I’m glowing!
