[ skin ] the science of it
When you sweat, your pores open and dirt or impurities on the surface layers of the skin can exit helping to improve the skin‘s tone, clarity and texture. Sweat contains small amounts of antibiotics that can combat certain bacteria that are found naturally on the skin. Regular sweating can also slow down signs of early aging and help to reduce the effects of skin damage.
Sweat is essential to maintaining the collagen structure of the skin. When you sweat, a liquid rich in nutrients bathes skin cells, filling in spaces around the cells and even plumping up tiny wrinkles, deterring collagen breakdown. By continually flushing body waste through individual cells, you can witness a return to vitality, tone and a healthy glow to your skin.
The sweating achieved in the Infrared Therapy System carries away deeply embedded impurities and dead skin cells, leaving your skin glowing and immaculately clean. With the boost in circulation, your skin’s own natural nutrients are drawn to the surface. You will see improved tone, elasticity, texture, and color. Increased blood circulation has also been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions, and cuts.
Cellulite is an accumulation of toxins and waste materials in the body’s cells occurring due to a decrease in circulation. Sweating in a Far Infrared blanket targets the hips, buttocks, thighs, abdomen, hips and arms by radiating heat and dramatically increasing blood flow.
