Does going in to a sauna or steam room
help cleaning your zits?

I've heard both ways, but in my
opinion--it depends on the person. Yes
in that some bodies' heat causes sweat and
stress. No in that heat is actually good
for condensing and moisturizing the
skin.

From what I understand, hot water and
steam are good if you are clean.
Dermatologists suggest that you wash your
face before you take a shower because the
heat and steam open your pores and allow
the dirt to slide right it. So I would
suggest if you're going to steam, wash
your face then take a shower, and then
steam....Ha ha ha ...Sounds like a lot of
work. Good luck!-

Acne is caused by dead skin cells that get
trapped in the skin follicles, and being
in a hot sauna will help to open up those
skin follicles and allow the body to sweat
out all of the acne. It is recommended to
sit in a sauna for twenty minutes a day.
It only works for some people as every
person is different.

Well, heat helps open your pores. Do you
have a bad case of ance, though? Or just
a few zits?

Saunas are great for skin disorders Posted: 08-27-08 15:22pm
A few sauna sessions will not only open
your pores it cleans them out. There's a
ton of other reasons why saunas are great
too
