Why Sauna???

The word sauna is an ancient Finnish word referring to the traditional Finnish bath as well as to the bathhouse itself.
Sauna use is all about wellness and feeling good! People who sauna bathe daily will testify that not only do they feel better but they also sleep better and altogether have more energy! Sauna’s have long been used to alleviate many types of pain, to help boost the immune system and to reduce stress both mentally and physically.

There are many reasons why sauna’s are used today but most popularly, to reduce stress. Stress affects our daily lives and also our health. A sauna can relieve this stress as the heat increses circulation and stimulates the release of endorphins – our happy hormones!
Sitting into a sauna will relax muscle aches and joint pain and help to eliminate lactic acid so they are brilliant to use after exercising!

Using a sauna is the best way for the body to detox. Detoxification through sweating is a process that has been used for years to detoxify, cleanse and purify the skin. Deep sweating which occurrs in a sauna can help reduce levels of nickel, lead, copper, zinc, mercury and chemicals which are all toxins we pick up from day to day!

Sauna’s have so many benefits to everyone, they help with problem sleepers, they burn calories, fight illness and boost the immune system! During a sauna session the body produces white blood cells much more rapidly than usually and they help fight illness and kill viruses. Saunas will also relieve congested sinuses whether that’s from allergys or through cold and illness!

A sauna not only feels good but is good for you. Whether it’s the physiological changes that occur in the warmth of a sauna, or if it’s simply the time spent in the calm, still retreat of the sauna, all who use saunas agree—it feels wonderful! As we go through our daily stressful lives, the sauna provides a pampering retreat—where we can relax and restore body and soul. A sauna truly makes you “Feel Better”, “Look Better” and “Sleep Better”.

Dermalogica’s Map 15 Product of the Month

Our product of the month for October is Dermalogica’s Map-15 Regenerator! This amazing product is from the Age Smart range which is designed to target aging of the skin. Within days of using the Map-15 the reduction of lines and wrinkles is clearly visible to see! Map-15 has the highest concentration of MAP also known as Vitamin C – the most anti-aging ingredient there is – in any product on the market today! This revolutionary powder stimulates collagen production, brightens the skin, increases hydration, firmness and elasticity, and prevents those signs of aging! Probably our HERO product, with this one you can kiss goodbye to lines and wrinkles and welcome back smooth, soft, young-looking skin!

How to use:

To use as a spot treatment, dispense a small amount onto fingertip and blend into skin on areas where signs of aging are prominent, such as the eyes and mouth areas, prior to application of MultiVitamin Power Firm. You can also add a pea-size amount to your Dermalogica Moisturizer for all-over brightening and firming.

Tech Stuff…How it works:

This highly-effective form of Vitamin C works with a blend of White Tea, Hyaluronic Acid, Glucosamine, Phospholipids, Algae and Yeast extracts to help stimulate collagen production, brighten skin tone, and neutralize free radicals to dramatically increase hydration, firmness and elasticity while helping to prevent the signs of aging caused by Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs – a damaged by-product of sugar/protein reactions in the skin). Silky emulsion glides gently over skin for efficient application, especially around the delicate eye and mouth area.

Contains no artificial fragrance or color. Store at room temperature. Close cap tightly after

Map stands for Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate. This is a non-acidic, stable form of Vitamin C that stimulates collagen formation in the skin while providing antioxidant protection, inhibiting melanin formation and inhibiting MMP enzymes that contribute to collagen degradation.

- Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Extract protects against Reactive Oxygen Species (free radicals), fights the formation of AGEs in skin and inhibits MMPs.

- Hyaluronic Acid provides intense skin hydration.

- Glucosamine fights AGEs while stimulating Hyaluronic Acid and collagen formation in skin.

-Yeast Extract helps stimulate wound healing, collagen formation and increases oxygen utilization in skin.
