Think glass skin, dolphin skin, glazed donut skin…‘and now, sauna skin?
Yep, beauty fans are officially sweating in the name of skin care.
(It’s not a bad idea;breaking a sweatis great for skin health!).
But you don’t have to hop into an actual sauna to hop on the bandwagonallow me to explain.
What is sauna skin?
If your sauna sesh comes with a side ofrednessand flushing as opposed to juicy shine, well, same.
To be absolutely clear, myruddy complexionpost-sweat doesnotresemble the glass-skinned models sauntering down the runway.
But redness is not necessarily a bad thing!
It’s a normal body mechanism in response to heat.
This can cause a red, flushed face, particularly noticeable in fairer skin types."
Redness aside, sauna bathing comes with some skin benefits.
There areplenty of reasons to do so, aside from dewy skin!
But if you want to nail the look without the flushing and redness that comes with it?
One of our favorites is hyaluronic acid.
Oral forms of HA, you see, have been shown to support skin hydration and appearance.
Sounds like the sauna skin ideal, doesn’t it?
Here’s where your hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera serums come into play.
That way, I can replicate all the dewy shine, sans flushing.
I find an oil-based balm much more natural-looking, yet it catches the light exactly where I want it.
