Using An Infrared Sauna For Your Skin

If you’re after the J-Lo glow then look no further. A little sauna therapy might be just what you’re missing. What if we told you saunas can reduce the dullness of your skin and put some of the bounce back in your complexion? From increased blood circulation to detoxification - we do a deep dive on why saunas can help you glow from the inside out.

Because infrared waves penetrate deep into the skin, they are extremely effective at increasing blood circulation. A well-functioning circulatory system is just as important as a balanced diet, a good night’s sleep and plenty of water when it comes to glowing skin. Poor blood flow can result in poor oxygenation and a dull complexion whereas the opposite is evident when blood circulation is increased. So you can thank your rejuvenated and younger looking skin to saunas for getting that blood flow going. 

Using a far-infrared sauna also supports your body in sweating out toxins. Blocked pores can lead to blackheads, acne and an uneven complexion, no thanks! But the heat from regular far-infrared saunas can help to open up your pores and refresh plus purify your skin. It’s important to note here that you should always enter a sauna with clean skin, free of make-up followed by a cleanse and moisturise after your session.

Although we are big fans of infrared saunas, it’s always important to remember that troublesome skin can occur from a multitude of catalysts, and it’s always best to consult a professional if you have concerns or ongoing issues.
