Steam & Common Skin Conditions
How steam improves the skin
The skin is our body’s largest organ and is essential in eliminating impurities. As we sweat in the Steamy Wonder™, the skin pores begin to open and built-up sebum and impurities move out. Dead skin cells are softened and exfoliated as new softer skin can emerge.
The result is that many common skin conditions improve with periodic or regular Steamy Wonder™ treatments:
- Acne: Perspiration emulsifies the fat of the sebaceous glands, clearing them of sebum and bacteria which is excellent for acne.
- Anti-Aging: Exfoliation treatments with the Steamy Wonder™ open the pores, allowing the superficial and deep layers of the skin to be receptive to the nutrients in natural skin care products. The deep penetration of vitamins, minerals, and moisturizers help restore and maintain skin elasticity and tone. The steam creates a seal on the skin's surface, enclosing the nutrients within the layers of the skin where they may be absorbed and processed.
- Dry Skin and Wrinkles: Increased blood supply rushes fluids to skin's surface enhancing the development of collagen and filling in the spaces around cells, plumping up wrinkles. Stimulating the skin on a regular basis helps combat the collagen breakdown that generally results in aging and sagging skin. The resulting effect is deeply moisturized, hydrant skin.
- Tanning: With the thorough exfoliation and moisturizing
provided in the humid Steamy Wonder™ treatment the skin is prepared
for a deeper and more uniform application of sunless tanning products
resulting in a vibrant and longer lasting tan.
In addition, people who have been over exposed to the sun will benefit from the rehydrating effects of a Steamy Wonder™ treatment.
“My clients just glow after a Steamy Wonder™ treatment.
I can’t believe how much younger and more relaxed they look
after just a single steam session. Their skin is silky smooth and
much more youthful looking.”
