The skin acts as the body’s first line of defense against the external environment. It’s an intricate system composed of millions of cells and sensory receptors, which help us perceive temperature and pain. In the sauna, the body’s natural response to heat is sweating, which prevents the skin from overheating. This sweating mechanism keeps the skin temperature below 45°C, even in a sauna exceeding 100°C.

One of the most visible effects of sauna use is the shedding of dead skin cells through sweating, resulting in fresh, youthful skin. The open pores allow the body to flush out toxins and accumulated impurities like soap and body wash residues. No other skincare routine can achieve such a deep cleanse. After a sauna session, your pores are clear, and your skin is ready to absorb nourishing creams and oils, leaving it hydrated and glowing.

An aromatherapy steam room offers a unique combination of high humidity (80-100%) and a lower temperature of 43-46°C, infused with the scent of essential oils. These oils can have either a relaxing or invigorating effect, depending on the blend used. The steam room is particularly beneficial for the respiratory system, circulation, and skin. The increased humidity helps detoxify the body and stimulate the immune system, making it an excellent choice for those looking for gentle relaxation.

Regular steam room use also promotes smooth, velvety skin and can even help prevent cellulite. It aids in muscle relaxation, stress relief, and the regeneration of tired muscles. The inhalation of steam has been used for centuries to treat respiratory illnesses and boost immunity.

Incorporating sauna sessions into your wellness routine offers a range of benefits, from detoxification to glowing skin. Whether you prefer the dry heat of a Finnish sauna, the deep-penetrating warmth of an infrared sauna, or the soothing steam of an aromatherapy room, each provides a pathway to relaxation, health, and rejuvenation.
