We often think of skincare in terms of creams, serums, and facials but there’s one powerful method that’s often overlooked: sauna bathing. Increasingly recommended by dermatologists and skin professionals, regular sauna use acts as a natural skin detox and anti-aging treatment. It cleanses the skin deeply, improves elasticity, and slows down visible signs of aging. But not all saunas affect the skin in the same way. In this article, we’ll show you how Finnish and infrared saunas differ in their effects on the skin and when to use each to achieve a smoother, clearer, more radiant complexion.
During a sauna session, your body heats up, your pores open, and your skin begins to sweat. Through this natural detox process, impurities and dead skin cells are flushed out, allowing the skin to breathe and regenerate. Increased circulation delivers more oxygen to the skin, helping to promote a fresher, firmer, more youthful look.
That’s why many use the sauna in skincare "cycles" for example, 2–3 sessions per week over 4–6 weeks. This regular practice can lead to longer-lasting results: slower skin aging, fewer blemishes, and a natural glow without harsh treatments.
The Finnish sauna operates at high temperatures and low humidity. This creates intense heat stress on the body, resulting in heavy sweating and strong detoxification, which is ideal if your skin feels congested or dull especially after winter, during times of stress, or seasonal transitions.
In contrast, the infrared sauna works at a lower temperature, but the heat penetrates more deeply into the tissues. This makes it effective in stimulating cellular activity and flushing out toxins, all without overwhelming heat. It’s particularly recommended for sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin, or for anyone who wants a gentler, more frequent skincare approach.
So which sauna should you use and when?
Just like with premium skincare products, the effectiveness of a sauna depends on how well it’s designed to suit your body and lifestyle. At iSauna, we believe that true wellness happens where design, function, and experience meet. That’s why we design every sauna to support not only your relaxation, but also your natural skin renewal processes.
Whether you prefer Finnish heat, gentle infrared, or a 6-in-1 combined therapy system, our handcrafted saunas are tailored to enhance your daily routine and your skin’s long-term health. Curious how a sauna can transform your skincare routine? Let us show you.
