However, although sauna appears to welfare the skin, as every aficionado testament happily expand, this had never been scientifically proven until now. Recently however, a group of researchers at the University of Jena has demonstrated that regular sweat room leads to a more than stable epidermal barrier function, an increase in stratum corneum hydration as considerably as a faster recovery of both elevated water loss and skin pH. What is more, they also proven that center beat rate and ionic concentration in sweat as well as epidermal blood perfusion showed a preparation effect below regular sauna: the more you go, the more than your skin and your heart seem to benefit!
