Topical Vitamin C has been linked to anti-aging benefits, such as improved skin texture and a vibrant complexion. Feel – and see – the difference in your skin after a sweat and shower in our private suites at SweatHouz.
THE SWEAT RESPONSE
Sweating helps you regulate your body temperature.
As your body works hard to thermoregulate during and immediately following your sauna session, your sweat response is activated.
Sweat is made of water, electrolytes, and waste products or ‘toxins,’ including heavy metals. Sweat itself is odorless, but when sweat comes into contact with bacteria, it may cause an unpleasant odor. The infrared
wavelengths from our saunas can kill odor-causing bacteria, resulting in a ‘cleaner’ sweat.
POST SWEAT TEMPERATURE
After your sauna session, your core temperature regulates over the next several minutes to hours, depending upon several factors including : sauna exposure time and temperature, fitness level, acclimation to heat stress, and temperature of ambient air or water that you’re exposed to during recovery.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend the following for your post-sweat shower:
- Take a few minutes to transition from the sauna to the shower to allow the body to begin lowering core temperature on its own.
- Use lukewarm shower water (at or slightly warmer than typical body temperature, i.e. 98 - 105°F) to aid in the body’s thermoregulatory response.
