How Does a Far Infrared Sauna Help the Skin?

September 26th 2008 13:40

By: Rayanne McGee

You have made a decision to purchase a Far Infrared Sauna for your personal home use.

Your research has indicated that there are many significant health benefits associated with Far Infrared Heat therapy.

They include:

Radiant Skin- Improved Immune System
- Enhanced Circulation and Increased Energy
- Maintain Cardiovascular Health
- Promote Weight Loss
- Pain Relief
- Detoxification
- Stress Release & Relaxation

This article will focus on how Far Infrared heat therapy promotes healthy, radiant skin.

Skin Facts
- Largest organ of the human body
- Provides protection to our body
- Keeps our bodies at the right temperature
- Consists of three layers: Epidermis (outer layer), Dermis, Subcutaneous Fat
- We lose about 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells off the surface of our skin every minute of every day
- Assuming a healthy lifestyle, feeling and looking one's best before 40 has a lot to do with genetics
- After 40, it' what you do to maintain healthy skin

Let's review exactly what FIR heat is.

Far-infrared (FIR) heat is a form of naturally occurring energy from the sun. Infrared radiation accounts for over half the energy emitted from the sun. It heats matter directly and not the air in between.

All life requires FIR heat. It IS NOT ultraviolet radiation. The Far Infrared heat is a band of energy that we feel as heat and it is measured in microns. (The remaining energy from the sun we see as light.) Far Infrared heat has a micron measurement of 5.6-15. It is completely SAFE and promotes health and healing.

How does it actually work?

Far Infrared Heat has the ability to penetrate the human body. The human body absorbs the FIR heat energy from 1.5"-3". As FIR heat penetrates the skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat energy causing blood vessels and capillaries to dilate. This gives better circulation and the heat produced releases toxins and waste through sweating.

It is the Far Infrared Heat that provides the penetrating healing benefits. A traditional sauna heats the air. It does not provide deep healing. It causes sweat, but often the air is so hot and stifling that some people cannot stay in the sauna to derive benefit. A FIR infrared heat sauna is a comfortable and safe heat that penetrates and heals.

How does it help the skin?

You already know that FIR heat causes increased blood circulation. Increased blood circulation carries significant amounts of nutrients to the skin. Increased blood circulation has been known to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions and cuts.

You also know that toxins and waste are released through sweating. The skin through this process also eliminates impurities and dead skin cells. Once the impurities and dead skin cells are eliminated, and great amounts of nutrients are carried to the skin, the result is skin that has healthy tone and texture. The skin is soft, clean and clear. Make-up goes on smooth and the skin emits a radiant healthy glow.

As part of a healthy lifestyle a Far Infrared Sauna will enhance the clarity and beauty of your skin.

Dry Winter Skin: How to Deal with It ?

September 22nd 2008 13:43

By: Katrina Price

Your skin in winter can become very dry - even to the point of being painful. I myself began feeling the effects of the cooler weather in early October. It usually doesn't hit me this hard but this year I'm having a real difficult time with it. My lips became tender and chapped, and I had to switch to a different formula of daily facial cleanser because the exfoliating beads in my current cleanser were irritating my skin. My face became red and flushed. I'll have to limit my daily exfoliation to just twice a week. Also my hands and feet became very dry
