The Importance Of Sauna

Img 6230


Haven't seen a good thread on this topic yet.

If you aren't using the sauna every day you are seriously fucking yourself over. Both types of sauna have been proven to lower mortality, increase longevity, kill toxins beneath the skin (the infrared type), skyrocket metabolism/and muscle recovery, the list goes on and on.

Every looksmaxer should be doing sauna, DAILY if you want that massive skin glow. Here is a great video by Dr. Rhonda Patrick on sauna (mostly health-related benefits, still good tho).



How sauna fixes the skin
Saunas help relieve acne and clogged pores

Clogged pores and blocked glands all contribute to acne. A sauna’s dry heat will allow the pores to open. As a result, sweating cleans pores because bacteria, oil, and dirt can escape your skin before they give you pimples.

Saunas better-hydrated skin
A more stable epidermal barrier function, an increase in stratum corneum hydration, faster recovery of both elevated water loss and skin pH after exposure to 2 x 15 min sauna at 80 degrees

Saunas increase blood flow circulation

Saunas GREATLY slow down the aging process
Saunas stress your skin due to heat exposure. Saunas will force your skin to build up antioxidant defense systems that protect your skin from future stresses. These stresses include toxins and sun exposure.

Saunas increase skin cell turnover
When you sit in the sauna, you will sweat profusely. In turn, deep sweating will help to improve skin cell turnover. Skin cell turnover is the means of creating new cells to replenish existing cells.

Best time to use the sauna?
Post-workout

The heat effects of the sauna remove lactic acid from your muscles. You will recover faster from your workout. According to the Harvard Medical School, blood flow nearly DOUBLES when in a sauna. As the blood flow increases, the muscles become more relaxed.

Should I use the sauna EVERY day?
Answer: YES

A long-term, 15-year follow-up study published in the journal Neurology, showed people taking a sauna four to seven times a week were 61% less likely to suffer a stroke than those taking a sauna once a week.

How long to sauna?
At least 30 minutes per day up to 1 hour. I would go 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening, before your skin routine. Workout -> sauna -> shower -> skin routine, in that order.

Where to use the sauna?
If you are a Netherland cel you already have access to saunas. For American cels, any decent gym that isn't in a very poor area will usually have a sauna that you can use. But I prefer not to be trapped in a cage with naked old dudes, so I just sauna at home. Most saunas are pretty expensive but you can find a few good ones on amazon etc. The one I use (The infrared version):

Skin Care Method
Use saunas(30+minutes daily post-workout) + tretinoin (once per night or every other night) + 0.5-1.5mm dermarolling (once a week)
TRETINOIN 1 500x500 1

This combination is probably the holy grail of skin maxing. Not only will you get increased cell turnover from the sauna itself but the topical vitamin A in tretinoin does the same, and the derma rolling is forcing your body to create new collagen. Religiously using this combination will leave your skin looking like a newborn.

is there an adjustment period with tretinoin? i.e, does it make your skin worse initially? I was on accutane until the end of 2020, my skin is decent (a part from scars) but I get a couple spots sometimes (mostly diet related) - I'm thinking of looking into tretinoin cream

For some, they get redness, skinpeeling. I didn't have many side effects other than a little skin peeling. Do your research

I love sauna, I'm curious about the sauna you bought on Amazon.

How hot can it get ? Can you sweat a lot in it ?

I like sauna not just for looksmaxxing but for stress management, relaxation, improving sleep

I don't know if this kind of sauna can get hot enough for my liking , basically I like when it's hot and when you can sweat a lot in it
