Benefits of Facial Saunas

If you've ever had a facial, you know that it's an exhilarating experience. They feel good, and regular facials can help keep your skin luminous and feeling soft and smooth.

The problem is that having regular professional facials can put a dent in your wallet, not to mention that you have to make an appointment, then make the trip to get there.

One of the biggest facial sauna benefits is pretty obvious - owning one is a convenient alternative to paying for professional facials.

More about the benefits of facial sauna systems

Facial sauna systems use steam to...

1. Open your pores for deep skin cleansing

2. Unclog stuffed nasal and sinus passages

These 'mini saunas' won't deliver the overall deep skin cleansing effects of a sauna or steam enclosure, but they will allow you to give yourself a facial anywhere, anytime.

Deep Skin Cleaning

Our skin is under constant assault from toxic elements that we're exposed to daily in our environment.

Well, nothing is better for your skin than heavy sweating. This is the real reason a facial sauna benefits your skin. It provides a very concentrated form of steam, helping clean out your pores from deep within.

Over time, the end result may turn out to be clearer, more beautiful skin. Your skin is also left feeling soft and supple.

The steam from a facial sauna also boosts blood circulation. This brings extra oxygen and nutrients to your skin surface - very important for maintaining healthy looking skin and a glowing complexion.

Respiratory Benefits

Steam has proven to be effective for respiratory conditions. Your breathing passages are soothed because of increased moisture content in your lungs, throat and nose.

Using a facial sauna can help alleviate sinus congestion from colds, asthma or allergies. If you have a serious condition like bronchitis, sinusitis, or hay fever, you can use it as an inhaler or vaporizer.

Simple To Use

I love simplicity, and another facial sauna benefit is that it's very simple to use.  They usually weigh just a few pounds, and basically all you have to do is plug it in, fill a reservoir with water, and wait for it to heat up.

You can also add a few drops of tea tree oil or essential oils to create a true therapeutic experience.

Many units include a timer with auto shutoff - no need to watch a clock.

In summary...

A facial sauna system is an excellent appliance to have if you intend on keeping your skin looking nice and healthy. Use it regularly in addition to your daily cleansing and moisturizing regimen to get next-to professional results without the big price tag.
