With the popularity of hot springs in China, most beauty salons have established hot spring rooms.

Men and women, especially women, often enjoy a sauna to detoxify their bodies. They say that saunas can be beneficial for beauty and skincare.

What are the benefits of steam saunas? What are their drawbacks? What should women be aware of when they go to a steam sauna? The reason why steam saunas have become popular in China is not solely due to Korean dramas, but rather because steam saunas genuinely offer some benefits to the body.

What are the benefits of steam bathing? First, it changes skin texture. Steam bathing is a way of nourishment, not only can enhance the elasticity of the skin, but also improve the texture of the skin, which is conducive to delaying aging.

Secondly, detoxifying and beautifying can be achieved through high temperatures, allowing the body's toxins to be expelled through sweat glands.

This not only clears toxins from the body but also has a beauty-enhancing effect.

Thirdly, as with slimming and weight reduction, sweat baths can aid in body evaporation, accelerating the burning of fat, thereby achieving a certain degree of weight loss effect.

Fourth, when in a high-temperature environment, the body releases a large amount of sweat, which naturally relaxes the body and improves mood, thus effectively relieving stress.

Fifth, strengthening metabolism within the body and accelerating blood circulation can effectively lower blood sugar levels and cholesterol.

Sixth, improve suboptimal health. Many people are currently experiencing suboptimal health, and through sauna treatments, they can eliminate substances from the body that are unhealthy and enhance their physical condition, thus moving towards a healthier state of being.

What are the downsides of sauna? As the saying goes, everything has its two sides.

Moderately sweating is indeed beneficial for the body.

If the time and method of sweat bathing are improper, or if it is overdone, it will also bring harm to the body.

Firstly, experiencing dizziness or headaches during the first time of sweat bathing.

This is because the body has not experienced such high temperatures and low humidity environments. Exposing the body to high temperatures at once will naturally cause discomfort.

Secondly, the skin becomes too dry after a sauna session.

During the sauna experience, a significant amount of sweat is produced, resulting in a serious loss of body fluids.

If the time spent in a steam bath is too long, you'll feel very dry and uncomfortable after coming out.

Thirdly, there is a risk of contamination in the sauna room supplies.

The bamboo screens, wooden beams, and other materials used in the sauna room may contain contaminants, and if sensitive individuals are present, they may easily experience dizziness and irritation.

Fourthly, body edema.

During a sauna session, the body's electrolytes can easily become imbalanced.

After a sauna session, cells in the body can become excessively hydrated due to the absorption of water, which can lead to swelling.

Women's Pool of sweat prohibitions. If you have visited a steam room or steam house, you will find that the majority of people who go there are women.

For them, sweat baths are believed to improve skin quality and make one more beautiful.

Even so, women must also be aware of the relevant contraindications before undergoing a hot sauna.

Firstly, during menstruation, one should not take a steam bath.

During a steaming session, blood circulation in the body is enhanced. If this coincides with menstruation, it may lead to an increase in menstrual flow or prolongation of the menstrual cycle.

Secondly, one should not immediately engage in steaming after eating or drinking alcohol, as this can lead to stomach pain or dizziness.

Thirdly, the duration of the sauna session should not be too long; generally, it is advisable to stay in the sauna for about 45 minutes.

If discomfort occurs during the sauna experience, it is necessary to shorten the duration of the sauna session.

Fourth, you should not take a shower immediately after a hot spring session. It usually takes about 6 hours to wait before you can take a shower.

Fifth, after a steam bath, one should not consume cold foods such as cold dishes, ice pops, or cold tea, as this can cause the pores to contract and trap any dirt that has been expelled.

Sixthly, if you need to go after a sauna session, don't hold it in.

Constipation can lead to the toxic substances in feces being absorbed into the body, which is not conducive to health.

How often should a woman steam? Steaming can enhance blood circulation, promote the elimination of internal toxins, and boost lymphatic fluid circulation, thereby enhancing immunity.

However, sweat bathing is not just about the more you can steam. Mastering the right timing and frequency will help you achieve the best results from a sweat bath.

So, how often should a woman sweat it out? Typically, it's best to avoid sweating every day; once every week is sufficient.

If the body allows, it can only sweat steam 2-3 times in a week. If more than that, the body will not be able to bear it.

This is because frequent sauna sessions can lead to a disruption in the body's fluid metabolism and result in the withdrawal of a large amount of water from the body, which can easily lead to dehydration or symptoms such as dizziness and headache.

In addition to paying attention to the number of weekly sauna sessions, it's also important to keep track of the number of sauna sessions per month.

Under normal circumstances, one person should not exceed six sweat sessions within a month.

Even if you enjoy hot baths, it's important to control the frequency of these sessions. Otherwise, it can be a significant burden on your body.

Additionally, to ensure that the body does not become dehydrated due to steam baths, it is important to replenish fluids both before and after the experience. Consumption of warm water should be encouraged instead of cold or iced drinks.

Can you apply a mask while sweating? Before applying the mask, many friends use a hot towel to open up the pores on their face, ensuring that the nutrients in the mask can be fully absorbed into the skin.

According to this principle, many friends believe that when sweating, the condition of opening pores is better, so whether it can achieve better effects when applying a face mask.

So, can you apply a mask while you're in the sauna? We know that when you're in the sauna, your pores are slowly opening up. Once they open up to a certain extent, they will open completely.

At this moment, the pores will continuously expel dirt and toxins. If a face mask is applied at this time, the toxins expelled from the face will be forced back into the pores, effectively likening to sweating in vain, resulting in wasted face masks.

Therefore, we advise against applying facial masks while you're sweating.

However, after a steam session, it's still possible to apply a facial mask.

However, to ensure the effectiveness of the facial mask, it is recommended that the optimal time for applying the mask post-steaming is half an hour after sweating.

At this point, the toxins have been expelled from the body, and the body's temperature has returned to normal. The sweat on the face has been cleaned away, and the pores have a stronger ability to absorb nutrients.

At this moment, it's best to apply a hydration mask to ensure that the skin on your face is sufficiently hydrated.
