One of the great benefits of sauna and steam bath is the effects of toning on the skin. They leave the skin soft, supple and radiant - in short, beautiful. Regular users of sauna and steam baths have a healthy light that adds to their taste.
The reason that sauna and steam are so good on the skin is a deep cleansing action caused by excessive sweating. The pits are very open and all the dirt collected can be easily washed away.
The best benefits of skin toning come from a full body sauna, but for those who want a quick fix of their complexion, they can get the same results from face sauna programs. These ‘small saunas’ are designed to apply steam to the face to perform a deep cleansing action, similar to a full sauna or steam bath.
How He Works
The face sauna has an electric heating element under the unit. Heats the water (stored in a small pond) until it reaches a boiling point, causing the steam to rise. The small size of the reservoir ensures that the smoke is produced quickly.
An ergonomically designed mask is placed over the pool to capture and add steam to your face. You can control the amount of steam emitted by your face due to the mask on your face.
Bringing your face in direct contact with the mask provides a high level of deep cleansing, but this position should be used only temporarily. After 10 seconds, lift your head so that cool air is mixed with steam. Repeat this cycle as many times as needed.
Facial saunas are not just a deep cleansing of the skin; they are also useful in uncovering hidden sins. Anyone with just a cold or a serious condition such as bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma and hay fever can use a facial sauna as an inhaler or vaporizer.
Some face saunas have a separate inhaler attachment area. Instead of touching the whole face, the inhaler attachment fits the nose and mouth. Just inhale the air with steam to give immediate relief from the pain of sinus.
Working Tips
Most face saunas have a very small pool so that the water heats up quickly. The disadvantage of this is that the water evaporates quickly, so if you wish to use the sauna for a long time, you should keep a long glass of water near you. This way, you can quickly fill the pool when it is dry.
A small reservoir, unfortunately, also means that a face sauna cannot be used as a night vaporizer. If your offense keeps you awake at night, it may be best to use a regular steamer that provides steam for a few hours.
Steam is great for cleansing deep skin, but for extra beauty treatments you can add special cleansing ingredients such as tea tree oil to the water. Just a few drops of this oil will give your skin a radiant glow and leave it fresh and soft.
Facial saunas are less expensive - usually less than $60. At this price, almost everyone can enjoy a deep cleansing action and a special ‘glowing’ skin that sees regular sauna users out of the crowd.
