Sauna Beauty Method
Whether it's a sauna in a summer cottage surrounded by forest, a sauna on the shore of a frozen lake in winter, or a sauna in every home, saunas are a natural part of everyday life in Finland.
Just as baths are to Japanese people, saunas are an essential part of life for Finns and a deeply rooted part of their culture.
A sauna is not just a place to bathe and relax, but also an important place for communication with family, friends, and sometimes coworkers, and also an important space to be alone and quiet, and to face oneself.
Furthermore, regular sauna bathing has many benefits for skin care and health, such as improving skin and blood circulation. Surrounded by heat and steam, you warm yourself from the inside out, feeling at peace in both mind and body—and it even has an effect on beautiful skin! The appeal of saunas is immense.
The benefits of saunas
✨ Promotes metabolism: Increases the body's metabolic activity.
✨Improved blood circulation: Blood flows more smoothly, providing nutrients to the entire body.
✨Relaxing effect: Calms the mind and body, relieving tension.
Things to note about saunas
✋️Skin irritation: Sudden temperature changes (repeatedly going from hot to cold) put strain on the skin and increase the risk of developing couperose skin (telangiectasia).
✋️Effect on couperose skin: If you already have couperose skin, a sauna may be counterproductive and the heat may make the condition worse.
Sauna and skin care combination
- Facial Exfoliation ☘️️Facial exfoliation is most effective before applying a sheet mask or moisturizing face mask. You can also exfoliate during the sauna.
☘️️By removing dead skin cells, your skin will appear brighter and your skincare ingredients will be more easily absorbed.
- Face mask🫐 After a sauna, your pores are open, making your skin more receptive to skincare products.
🫐The ideal time to use a face mask is after a sauna, but it can also be used during the sauna.
🫐Choose a face pack that suits your skin type.
- Post-sauna care 🌷 Use your favorite moisturizing products generously to moisturize your skin.
🌷My skin is prone to dryness, so moisturizing is important.
🌷We recommend high-quality, eco-friendly skin care products.
🇫🇮Saunas are a great way to relax and improve your skin . Saunas have many beneficial effects on the skin. However, you should be careful not to use them too hot or for long periods of time.
The warmth of the sauna improves blood circulation and activates metabolism, allowing oxygen and nutrients to reach the skin more easily, resulting in a natural, healthy glow and radiance.
The relaxing effect also relieves tension in the face and shoulders. Sweating also opens pores, expelling waste products and helping to alleviate skin problems such as acne, pimples, and dark spots. The warm steam also moisturizes the skin, making it ideal for treating dry and mature skin.
🇫🇮 Enjoy thorough self-care during your sauna time <br>We recommend incorporating a little body care into your relaxing sauna time. Being surrounded by warm steam in the sauna is actually the perfect time to care for your skin. The heat softens the skin, making it easier to get the full benefits of various treatments.
For example, lightly dry brushing your body (rubbing dry skin with a brush or towel) before entering the sauna will provide a pleasant stimulation, promote blood circulation, and increase metabolism. Before entering the sauna, wash your body thoroughly and make sure your skin is clean and fresh.
During or after your sauna session, we recommend exfoliating your skin and applying various types of face masks. Exfoliating your skin is even more effective when it has been softened by the heat of the sauna.
After removing dead skin cells, your skin will be left smooth and toned, and subsequent skincare products will penetrate better. This sauna and self-care experience will elevate your beauty routine.
🇫🇮Become beautiful from the inside out with a sauna <br>When you sweat profusely in a sauna, your pores open and dirt, toxins, and other unwanted substances that have accumulated in your body are expelled.
When your body temperature rises during a sauna, your body naturally works to maintain a constant temperature. In the process, blood circulation is promoted and metabolism is increased. This metabolic activation supports detoxification in the body.
These effects deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, making it appear brighter, hydrated, and healthy from within. Care from the inside, using the power of nature, brings out the skin's natural beauty.
Saunas are said to be effective for people suffering from atopic dermatitis, but results vary from person to person and may have the opposite effect on some people with atopic dermatitis.
🇫🇮 Tips for Loyly Treatments for Couperose Skin (Telangiectasia) <br>Advice from Christina, an esthetician at Duet Beauty Salon:
When using loyly (pouring water on sauna stones to generate steam), placing a face towel dampened with cold water on your face will reduce the direct contact of the hot steam with your skin and prevent redness and hot flashes. This is also recommended for those with sensitive skin or who find the sauna too hot.
🇫🇮Don't forget to hydrate after a sauna <br>After sweating profusely in a sauna, your body will have lost a lot of fluids. It's essential to hydrate after a sauna. Drink plenty of water to replenish the fluids lost and restore moisture from within. Coconut water, which is rich in minerals such as potassium and magnesium and is also known as a natural sports drink, is an excellent hydration drink.
🇫🇮Sauna is a relaxing time to tone your skin and mind . The sauna is an important space to care for your skin and mind. Why not take a break from the busyness and stress of everyday life and use it as a time to recover?
A little time in the sauna will give you new energy to take another step forward.
