The Benefits of Ozone for Optimum Skin Health

What is ozone?

Ozone or O3 is Activated Oxygen (O2). Ozone contains three atoms of oxygen rather than the two atoms that Oxygen contains. The additional atom of oxygen becomes a powerful, highly active element.  You can catch a feel of the power of ozone after a thunderstorm, near the ocean, and when you're up in the mountains at high altitudes. The distinctive scents and feelings you experience in these places provide clues about activated oxygen. 

When oxygen combines with UV rays from the sun, Ozone is also created. Ozone protects the Earth by attaching to pollutants and purifying the air we breathe. It is used to disinfect water, pools, and medical environments. It is a powerful element that has a wide variety of benefits in the proper forms and circumstances. It is is common misperception that ozone is created from air pollution. Rather, the Ozone layer in the atmosphere shields the Earth from the harmful UV rays of the sun and keeps the Earth warm. Pollution causes destruction of the Ozone layer. Pollution creates holes in the Ozone Layer, which allow harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach the Earth's surface. Ozone is not safe to breathe, as it’s irritating to our lungs. But, when infused into our blood in an IV or into oil, it becomes an incredibly powerful and safe healer.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone destroys pathogens, like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Only pure oxygen is left behind as the byproduct. Ozone is a potent and powerful detoxifyer (think of the ozone layer purifying our air and making life on Earth possible). With its ability to tackle such things, ozone stabilized in the right form is a tremendous ally for treating serious skin problems as well.

Natural Detoxification

Ozone is our environment's go-to miracle worker for cleansing. Because it contains a third oxygen molecule, it is heavier than oxygen (O2). Its because of this extra weight that ozone is able to move through the air and clean it up. It takes care of pollutants of all kinds, and also handles bacteria and viruses in its path. However, it its unstabilized form, ozone can only last for about 20 minutes.

Ozone is an excellent therapy for detoxification, and fortunately there are methods that can be used to safely and effectively stabilize it. Ozone has the capacity to carry plentiful amounts of oxygen into the cells of the body, pushing out toxic accumulations and infections.

Ozonated Oils

We can use certain types of oils to stabilize a highly unstable element in a safe and beneficial way. For Elaa's products, the process starts with raw, cold pressed organic olive oil. The oil goes through an extended process where ozone is bubbled through it. The process of fully infusing the oil with ozone takes weeks to months. Once fully ozonated, the oil becomes a very thick gel. It is solid and will not flow like an oil. To retain purity and potency, the oil never comes into contact with any metal or plastic. 

Skin & Ozone

When applied to the skin, ozonated oils carry their powerful properties through the cells. The oil heals damaged tissues and speeds up healing time. It works to clear bacteria (very beneficial on acne), viral and fungal infections. Ozonated olive oil stimulates the growth of new healthy skin cells. Dry skin will be moisturized, and swelling and inflammations will be calmed. Skin rashes of all types benefit from the application of properly ozonated oil.

Ozone Treatment

I'm thrilled to introduce you to a revolutionary ozonated healing treatment gel for face and body that combines the power of ozone and potent essential oils. This pure and highly activated ozone gel was created with the most challenging skin complaints in mind.

After the Rain - Activated Oxygen Miracle Balm brings together the power of fully ozonated olive oil (ozonated for weeks) with the addition of anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antihistamine, and analgesic essential oils. It is gentle and effective for any skin troubles. After the Rain can be applied to the face for moisturizing, soothing, and balancing of the skin. In addition, it can be applied to challenged areas on the face or body to accelerate the healing process and promote purification and balance.

After The Rain - Activated Oxygen Miracle Balm

A miraculously powerful and effective fully ozonated treatment balm for face and body. Highly concentrated, it regenerates skin and tissues with fully ozonated oil and generous concentrations of the most highly therapeutic oils to create healing and renewal for any skin troubles. We use medical oxygen, only glass, and no heat to produce the highest quality ozonated oils. Full ozonation means there are no waxes and no fillers. It is a thick gel at room temperature and cooler… all due to the ozonation process. It takes long periods of time to achieve this full ozonation. The oils work synergistically to soothe, reduce signs of aging, reduce inflammation, rejuvenate, calm all kinds of skin conditions, improve circulation, clear toxins, ease pain, revitalize cells, reduce scar tissue, and stimulate the growth of new, healthy, properly structured collagen.

A little goes a very long way! Just a tiny dab is enough to cover the entire face.

Strength - Choose Full Strength for most cases and for the best results. Full Strength is the original After the Rain formula. If you have been using After the Rain, this is the option to choose. Choose Ultra Sensitive for babies, pets, or for skin conditions that are highly active and reactive to everything. This is not the original version of After the Rain. The difference in the two versions is that Ultra Sensitive contains no essential oils.

Scent - Ozone has a unique and distinctive scent - expect the scent of medical ozone when experiencing your ozonated products. That unique ozone scent means you have a powerfully healing product completely saturated with ozone. It can take some getting used to for some people.

Heat Sensitive - This product will become liquid if warm. If it is over 60 degrees F where you live, place it in the refrigerator for a few hours prior to opening the jar so it can return to its solid form. Keep it in the refrigerator during warm weather to keep it solid and also to maintain the best potency over the long-term.

Use - Please note that this is a highly concentrated balm. It works best as a spot treatment or you can dilute it with Moonlight Mist or water if you wish to cover your entire face. Always, patch test first and gradually get your skin used to it if you are sensitive. Ozone is a powerful detoxifier, and if you are very sensitive or dealing with health or skin conditions, a detox response is possible. See The Elaa Ritual below for more details on how to use it.
