A unique thermal experience in the Finnish tradition
In Finland, a country of frozen lakes and saunas, taking a swim in ice-cold water is a custom which, according to Finns, is excellent for one’s health. The increased blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, which boosts the production of collagen, the molecule responsible for skin elasticity.
Nothing cleans the skin better than having a good sweat - it is even much more effective than soap and water! Hot steam dilates the pores of the skin and perspiration pushes embedded impurities out. Dermatologists and aestheticians use this steam action to remove skin impurities.
The regular use of a steam rooms contributes to better overall hygiene for our body’s largest organ, the skin.
