One of the great benefits
enjoyed by people who use sauna and steam baths are the toning effects
on the skin.
 These practices tend to leave the skin soft, supple and glowing
– in short, beautiful. Regular users of sauna and
steam baths seem to have an appealing healthy glow about them that adds
to their physical attractiveness.
The reason that sauna and steam are so good for the skin is the deep
cleaning action caused by heavy perspiration. The pores open
wide and all the accumulated dirt can be easily washed out.
The best overall benefits for skin toning obviously would come from a
full body sauna, but for
those looking for a quick fix to their complexion can get similar
results from facial sauna
 systems.
These "mini-saunas" are designed to apply steam to the face for the same deep cleaning action
as a full sauna or steam bath.
How
They Work
Basically, a facial saunahas an electric heating
element on the bottom of the
unit. It heats the water (held in a small reservoir)
to the boiling point, causing the steam to rise. The small
size of the reservoir ensures that steam is quickly produced.
A properly designed mask is placed over the reservoir to capture
and funnel the steam to your face. You can easily control the
amount of steam that your face is exposed to by altering the distance of the
mask to your face.
Bringing your face into direct contact with the mask will give you the
maximum deep cleaning action, but be careful! This position should
only be used for a few moments at a time. After about 10 seconds, raise your head to
allow cooler air to be mixed with steam. Repeat this cycle as
many times as needed.
The facial sauna
is not only for deep
cleansing the skin; but are also
useful for unclogging stuffed sinuses. Anyone with a simple
cold or evan a more serious condition like bronchitis, sinusitis,
asthma and
hay fever can get relief if they use the facial sauna as an inhaler or
vaporizer.
Some facial saunas have a separate inhaler attachment.
Instead of fitting over the entire face, the inhaler attachment fits
over the nose and mouth. Simply breathe in the steam to
provide almost instant relief from sinus pain.
Operating
Tips
As mentioned earlier, the facial sauna
usually has a very small
reservoir so that the water can
heat up rapidly. The downside to this is that the water
evaporates quickly. So, if you wish to use the sauna for an extended
session, you should keep a tall glass of water by your side.
This way, you can quickly refill the reservoir when it goes dry.
The small reservoir, unfortunately, also means that the facial sauna
cannot be used as an overnight vaporizer. If your sinuses are
keeping you awake at night, you would be better off with a traditional
vaporizer that provides steam for several hours.
Steam is great for deep cleaning the skin, but for an additional beauty
treatment you can add special cleaners such as tea tree oil to the
water. Just a few drops of this oil will give your skin an
even brighter glow and leave it feeling fresh and supple.
The facial sauna
is usually easily found
in department and discount stores and many pharmacies. They are
relatively inexpensive - usually less than
$60. For this price, almost everybody can enjoy the deep
cleaning action and the special "glowing" skin that marks regular sauna
users apart from the crowd.
If you don't have time to use a facial sauna, or, if you are a bit
worried about steam on your face, you might try a skin
exfoliator product, such as theones from Revitol
or Shaklee.
