The winter holidays may be a time of merriment and festivities, but sometimes our skin suffers as a result. Cold weather and dry air can leave you with dull winter skin, a far cry from our sunkissed summer glow. It doesn’t have to be this way! A Finnleo® infrared sauna health benefits are endless, not only keeping you toastie but getting you looking party-ready in no time.
Sweat Out the Toxins
When the brisk weather rolls in and the nights start getting dark sooner, the indulgence begins! Warming mugs of hot chocolate and piles of roast potatoes are all part and parcel of winter celebrations. While this warms our hearts and bellies, it doesn’t do much for our skin! Hopping in your Finnleo® helps you work up a sweat while you kick back and relax. The infrared sauna heats to a comfortable temperature and allows your body to detoxify naturally. So all those nasties don’t have a chance to build up and lead to breakouts, ruining your party plans. Just make sure to top up on water afterward, keeping you hydrated and replenishing the fluids you sweated out.
Finnleo® Infrared Sauna for Brighter Skin
Santa may have brought the red-cheeked look into fashion, but we’re here to help it stay! Your saunas health benefits extend to getting that blood pumping around your body. This assists in the detoxification process and helps to deliver nutrients directly to the skin. It also brings more oxygen to the cells, resulting in brighter and more refreshed skin! Greater flow means lower blood pressure and overall better health!
Sit Back and Destress
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also be the most stressful! With gifts to buy and turkeys to stuff, the winter season isn’t all cozy hats and ice skating! Stress is linked to several skin complaints including acne, eczema, and psoriasis. The beauty of an infrared sauna is it targets deep into your muscle, releasing the tension. This can help relieve the skin of issues and leave you feeling confident in your barefaced beauty!
Banish Dry Skin
This time of year, our skin rarely sees the light of day. It’s bundled up in multiple layers and takes a battering from woolen Christmas jumpers. So dry, scaly skin is inevitable. While layering on the moisturizer helps, sometimes you need an extra hand to get rid of those flakes. A couple of times a week in the sauna should keep you smooth. The warmth softens the skin and adding water will help trap in moisture.
Bonus tip: Dry brushing in your sauna will remove dead skin and get that lymphatic system pumping.
Increase Collagen
Collagen is a social media hit at the moment. Everyone is chucking this into their smoothies in the hopes of staying youthful. It doesn’t just come in powder form though! A study done in the 1970s found that just 30 minutes in a sauna can increase collagen production by 140%. This helps to keep skin looking plump and reduces signs of aging.
