�Sauna has a longstanding tradition on the Northern hemisphere, with Scandinavia and Russia look back over more than 2,500 years of using sauna as a popular process to cleanse and reclaim the body. Over the last few years, sweat room has become the epitome of health, with many studies proving its positive influence on general wellness. However, although sauna appears to benefit the hide, as every aficionado will happily expound, this had never been scientifically proved until now. Recently however, a group of researchers at the University of Jena has demonstrated that regular sauna leads to a more stable epidermic barrier role, an growth in stratum corneum hydration as well as a faster recovery of both elevated piss loss and skin pH. What is more, they also proven that heart beat rate and ionic concentration in sweat as well as epidermal line perfusion showed a grooming effect under regular sauna: the more you go, the more your skin and your heart appear to benefit!
