Bath procedures for women. We turn a steam room into a SPA salon: the most effective procedures in the bath and sauna. Steam inhalation for beauty

Saunas or baths in different countries correspond to traditions and bathe in them in different ways. But if we generalize a little, it turns out that we call a steam room with dry steam a sauna, and a traditional Russian bath is a steam room with high humidity of hot air. What is more useful? What is best accepted by your body. Dry steam tends to be more tolerable and the rather high temperature in the steam room can be tolerated. But, perhaps, you like low temperature, moist air with aromas of herbs, essential oils, and a well-steamed oak broom. Both will be useful.

What happens in the sauna?

Sauna has long become a way for a modern person to relax, and for women also an exquisite SPA procedure. Indeed, many masks and scrubs become most effective in the sauna. Under the influence of hot air, the pores on the skin expand, sweating increases. This contributes to the removal of impurities, toxins, excess sebum, increases the permeability of the skin for nutrients. In addition, the top layer of keratinized cells softens and can be easily removed by mechanical cleaning. Active removal of moisture from the body contributes to weight loss. Sauna is, first of all, a relaxation of the body and soul, therefore it is recommended to drink herbal tea with honey in between procedures, to make less fuss and talk. The sauna will also be useful for those who suffer from a runny nose or cough. Hot air will help warm the body and expel phlegm. Just do not visit the sauna at the height of the disease and at elevated temperatures, because our task is to benefit, not harm.

Traditional beauty treatments for the sauna

There are already tried and tested traditional ways give the body a pleasant-useful feeling in. In view of the fact that the steamed body is ready to part with coarsened skin particles, a body scrub will be very useful. You can cook it yourself, or buy ready-made. Now there are a lot of offers from cosmetic companies, and there are even special offers for baths and saunas. As a rule, such cosmetic products consist of natural ingredients with the addition of essential oils, cream, honey, coffee. You can make a coffee scrub at home. To do this, take natural ground coffee, moreover, it is better than factory grinding, and not your own. Such granules will be more uniform and the size you need.

Brew some coffee boiling water, and when cool, add a little honey and olive oil (or any other cosmetic). In addition to mechanical exfoliation of the skin, coffee activates blood circulation, saturating each cell with nutrients and oxygen. Honey does the same. It additionally warms up the surface of the skin, dilates blood vessels, and at the same time makes the skin incredibly velvety and tender. Therefore, the tradition of lubricating the body with honey in the sauna has already taken root. A good scrub will come from sea salt. Its particles will also gently exfoliate the skin. The popular honey and salt scrub has a strong position in the list of favorite and traditional sauna treatments.

If you want to bring invaluable benefits to your hair in sauna, to make them strong, shiny and silky, then apply on the basis of castor oil. This oil is one of the most useful for hair growth and strengthening, but its properties are such that it only works when heated. So the sauna is the most suitable place to use this mask. Take 2-3 tablespoons of castor oil, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, a teaspoon of glycerin, apply this mixture to the hair roots, cover with a cap and a towel. A little secret: castor oil is poorly washed off with water and shampoo, so stock up on a small amount of vodka or cognac, alcohol will do a great job with castor oil. But then you will not recognize your hair!

Massage and contrast shower

The most correct massage in the bath- it's a birch broom! Who went through this procedure correctly, he knows about its magical properties. A broom made of birch or oak branches is steamed well, and then the body is "beaten" with it. There is a simultaneous massage of the skin, increased blood circulation, and local therapy with natural and beneficial herbs (more precisely, branches). It is desirable that the procedure is carried out by an experienced person, otherwise you can get pain, shock, and disappointment instead of invaluable benefits.


Cold and hot shower, or a sharp change in temperature in the bath is also a tradition. In winter, from the steam room you can immediately "dive" into a snowdrift, in summer - into an ice pool, which is in every self-respecting bathhouse. Shock therapy of contrast water procedures is very useful for the skin and immunity in general. A sharp narrowing of the capillaries strengthens their walls, increases elasticity. The skin becomes more elastic, the aging process slows down. It’s not even worth talking about hardening the body! But just do not need to start such procedures abruptly and without preparation. Anything that goes beyond the reasonable, unequivocally harmful to health.

Should we be careful?

Before visiting sauna or a bath, soberly assess your state of health. If you have high blood pressure, or have heart problems, it is better not to go to the sauna. Do not forget that alcohol artificially increases blood pressure, so in no case do not go to the bathhouse after a wild party, and do not drink alcohol while visiting the sauna. It should also be borne in mind that if you have capillaries close to the surface of the skin, then you need to limit visits to the steam room, and exclude the use of honey in the sauna.

Honey dilates blood vessels, and you run the risk of earning a vascular network on the skin, which is then problematic to get rid of. Cover your head when you go to the steam room, especially if the steam is dry. Hide your hair under a towel, they do not need to dry out. Do not be heroic, and do not compete "who can last longer in the steam room." Excessive overheating is very harmful to the body. If you have followed all the precautions and are determined to get great benefits from visiting the sauna, welcome and enjoy your rest!

Cosmetologists say that the effectiveness of caring procedures for the face and body is significantly increased if they are performed on steamed skin. It is best to do this in a bath or sauna, but not all masks and scrub creams are suitable for this. You need to know and follow the rules of visiting and behavior in the sauna, so that from the visit there is only a qualitative result.

A visit to the bath and sauna is recognized as useful not only by adherents of folk methods of treatment and prevention of diseases, but also by official medicine. The effect of hot steam on the skin is generally obvious:

  • the temperature of the surface of the epidermis rises, which leads to a rapid and complete rejection of the "shell" from dead scales;
  • the pores open, all the dirt begins to come out of them - the remnants of the secretion of the sebaceous and sweat glands, dust, cosmetics;
  • the epidermis begins to actively "breathe" and pass all the useful substances into the deep layers of the skin;
  • excess fluid comes out of the skin and the whole body, which solves the problem of edema and cellulite.

Infrared sauna

Precisely because the skin "opens up" to receive various nutrients, various skin care procedures will be especially beneficial for it.

In addition, the sauna has a positive effect on the functioning of the whole organism:

  • muscles become softer, relax as much as possible;
  • blood vessels expand, blood flow to all organs increases;
  • the functionality of the heart muscle is activated;
  • motor reaction increases, attention becomes more concentrated.

It is also well known what effect the sauna has on the psycho-emotional background - the mood rises, anxiety disappears, irritation disappears.

An excellent option would be a visit with some spa treatments at the same time. They will bring maximum benefit to the skin and solve many problems.

Spa treatments for the skin in the sauna: what you can do and what not

There are several prohibitions of spa skin care treatments:

  • Deep cleansing of the skin. We are talking about peeling, which, with such a maximum steaming of the epidermis, will cause quite serious damage to it. Even if natural formulations are used as cleansing agents, the recommendation to abandon the procedure should not be neglected.
  • Massage with anti-cellulite creams. The problem can literally arise “out of the blue” - vessels close to the surface of the skin become so fragile under the influence of high temperatures that they can rupture and bleed under the skin. It is unlikely that this will add health, but the fight against bruises (hematomas) will last several weeks.
  • Use moisturizing or nourishing creams. After visiting the sauna and carrying out a number of SPA procedures, you just need to dry the skin, and all other cosmetic products are used for at least 10-12 hours.

Various face and body masks, scrubs and rinses are allowed, but only under the following conditions:

  • Before heading to the steam room, you need to thoroughly wash off the dirt and cosmetics under the shower. Ablutions must be performed in the future, before each entry into the "hot room". By the way, you don’t need to be in it for more than 10 minutes.
  • It is possible to apply cosmetics on the face and body only in between paired procedures. It is generally forbidden to do anything directly in the steam room, otherwise the opposite effect may occur, when the thermoregulation of the skin is disturbed due to clogging of pores and high air temperatures. The result can be fainting, hypertensive crisis, convulsive activity, acute heart failure.
  • Apply scrubs, masks and other products after the first visit to the steam room. At this point, the adaptation of the body is not yet completed, additional stress in the form of a mass of nutrients that have entered the skin will definitely not be useful to it.

About which face and body treatments are recommended to be performed in the sauna, and which are not, see this video:

Scrubs for body and face

If you mix coffee grounds from a drunk drink with a small amount of honey, you will get an excellent tool for cleansing the skin of the body. The product is applied to the cover, rubbed in a circular motion for 15 - 20 minutes, then washed off with warm or cool water. In case of presence of too hardened foci (heels, elbows, knees), salt of medium grinding and baking soda are added to the mentioned composition. For cooking, all ingredients are taken in equal proportions.

The skin of the face is more delicate, the above recipes are categorically not suitable for it. The following combinations of products will be the best choice:

  • cream or heavy sour cream (1 tablespoon) + finely ground sea salt (1 teaspoon);
  • sour cream (2 tablespoons) + chopped pulp of fresh cucumber (1 tablespoon) + 5 drops of lemon juice;
  • small oatmeal (4 tablespoons) + cream (3 tablespoons).

On the face, the product should be no more than 10 minutes, then it is washed off with cool water.

Nourishing face masks

They are applied before the last entry into the steam room, since the skin at this moment is maximally cleansed and warmed up, so all the beneficial substances from the cosmetic product will completely pass into the deep layers of the cover. The best recipes for a sauna are:

  • Clay. You can use blue or white, for 100 g of powder you need to add such an amount of warm water that the result is a homogeneous mass. The clay itself contains more than 50 minerals and trace elements, so even the basic remedy is suitable for nourishing the skin of the face.

But if you wish, you can add aloe juice to it - for oily or inflamed skin, milk or sour cream - for increased sensitivity of the cover, oatmeal - for a problematic type.

  • From cottage cheese. This fermented milk product is considered universal in cosmetology and can be used to care for any type of facial skin. Cottage cheese is mixed with honey, oatmeal, sour cream, chamomile oil or algae powder. Before adding an additional ingredient, the cottage cheese must be mixed with milk and a homogeneous mass should be obtained.
  • From fruits and berries. Everything is simple here: strawberries, apples, lingonberries, melon pulp or any other fruits / berries are crushed into puree and applied to the already cleansed and scrubbed skin of the face. There is one caveat here: a strong allergy can occur on such a mask, so you need to choose those products that are adequately perceived by the body. When in doubt, it is better to give preference to non-red ingredients, for example, peaches, plums, apricots.

Masks for mature skin

Age is not at all a reason to refuse to visit the sauna, having previously agreed with the doctor. And if there are no contraindications to such pleasure, then it is worth taking care of mature skin. The most relevant for her will be masks based on yeast. For cosmetic procedures, alcohol ("raw") yeast is used, which is necessarily crushed and mixed with warm water until a thick but soft mass is obtained. And now you can add to it:

  • egg yolk;
  • banana pulp;
  • liquid honey;
  • cream.

The amount of ingredients when mixing is taken in equal proportions. And if mature skin is oily and has a lot of age spots, then a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution added to yeast will help to cope with these problems.

About the rules for peeling the skin of the body in the sauna, see this video:

Body and hair care after

After visiting the sauna and carrying out a number of caring procedures, you need to leave the skin of the body and face “alone”. After cooling, many apply moisturizing or nourishing creams to it - this is not necessary. Only in the event that the rest went without scrubbing and masking, it is worth using some kind of cosmetics, for example, professional creams.

Hair is also exposed to the heat of the hot air in the sauna, and this is not always beneficial. First, you need to know that it is strictly forbidden to visit a steam room with wet curls - they will become dry and with split ends. This can be avoided by using a bath cap or towel.

Secondly, you need to wash your hair only after the last visit to the steam room, when a shower, rest and return home are ahead. They can also use masks.

You can use a completely extraordinary offer: mix 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise with a teaspoon of grated garlic and spread over the entire length of the hair, affecting the scalp. This mask is applied after the first visit to the steam room and is not washed off until the end of the sauna visit.

Since garlic can give a specific smell to curls, it is better to use a shampoo with a strong, aggressive aroma when washing them. But the result will surprise - the hair will become silky, shiny and smooth.

Contraindications for visiting

Sauna, coupled with cosmetic spa treatments, works wonders: the skin becomes smooth, even, wrinkles disappear, elasticity appears. But if all the described means can be used outside, then not everyone is allowed to visit this place. Doctors categorically forbid visiting the sauna when:

  • menstruation and pregnancy;
  • recovery after undergoing surgical interventions;
  • any problems in the work of the heart and blood vessels;
  • tumor-like neoplasms of a benign or malignant nature;
  • varicose veins;
  • an increase in body temperature against the background of any diseases;
  • infectious and inflammatory diseases;
  • dermatological problems;
  • circulatory disorders in the brain.

By following the rules of visiting the sauna and conducting SPA procedures for the skin of the body and face, regularly performing the described manipulations, you can achieve a lot. The steam room not only normalizes and stabilizes the psycho-emotional background, protects the body from stress, but also makes the skin smoother, even, relieves it of acne and blackheads, and smoothes fine wrinkles.

Before sweating, you need to: wash off makeup, take a shower (you can’t wet your head), wipe yourself off in order to enter the steam room with a dry body (a wet body sweats worse). When you first enter, do not sit on the top shelf. The skin, the respiratory system, the heart must gradually prepare for the high temperature. During the following visits, steam is applied.

Bath procedures for women are not fundamentally different from men's: the same steam room, massage with a broom, dousing with cool water. The strong half of humanity also does not neglect masks and body scrubs, rightly believing that a sleek appearance is a kind of calling card.

But only a true woman is able to get real sensual pleasure from skin and hair care.

We go to the bath - what to take with you

A trip to the bath for any woman is that invaluable time that she spends only on herself. Family troubles, troubles at work, a frantic city whirlpool - everything remains beyond the threshold. Two or three hours devoted entirely to oneself beloved can work wonders: to understand the mood, completely abandon worries and acquire an incredible gloss..

In order to fully enjoy the bath procedures, a woman needs to take with her:

  • Bath clothes and towels;
  • Rubber slates or slippers;
  • Broom (for true connoisseurs);
  • Washcloth and pumice stone for heels;
  • Purchased shampoos, gels, creams or ingredients for their own preparation;
  • Collection of medicinal herbs for brewing tea;
  • Two or three girlfriends or friends;
  • Good mood.

Types of bath procedures, their features and sequence

Instructions for the correct alternation of procedures in the bath have evolved over the centuries, turning into a ritual, the observance of which will allow you to get the most out of the trip.

First of all, you must adhere to the safety rules:

  1. The duration of being in the steam room does not depend on the number of minutes, but on general well-being;
  2. In all rooms;
  3. If you are allergic, never try homemade masks, scrubs or shampoos taken from your friends, as many contain honey, the strongest allergen.

steam room

The hottest and most humid place in the bath. The air temperature there can reach 60-70 * C, and humidity - 60%. The steam room is a kind of cardio simulator, sore joints warm up and tired muscles relax, and then toxins and toxins are removed.

When visiting a steam room, you need to carefully listen to the body and leave it at the slightest discomfort. Headwear is mandatory, as is the removal of metal jewelry: earrings, chains, rings, etc.

The first entry into the steam room is preparatory. Its purpose is to warm up the body, make the heart beat faster and the blood circulate faster. Duration - 4-7 minutes. It is most effective to warm up in a prone position, and not statically, but turning over from side to side, from back to stomach.

Note!
A sitting or standing position is considered unphysiological and even dangerous for health - this way you risk getting heat stroke, because the air temperature at the level of the head and shoulders will be 10-20 * C higher than at the level of the body, and even more so the legs.
In addition, the muscles of the legs, as well as the whole body, should be relaxed.

After the first entry, you need to sit and lie down for a while, and then go to the washing room to wash off the dirt and sweat.

During the second and third visits, you can afford a deep massage of the whole body with a broom.

Massage with a broom

It firmly occupies a place in the associative row with a bathhouse. Massage with a broom is not recommended for the first entry into the steam room. You are fabulously lucky if among your friends and acquaintances there is a person - a sophisticated bath attendant.

Beforehand, the broom is steamed - it is lowered into hot water in a steamer (a wooden container with a special lid). The broom is steamed immediately upon arrival in the bath.

As with other types of massage, work on the body with the help of an elastic dried “bouquet” takes place in several steps:

  1. Stroking and compress.

Stroking begins with the feet, gradually rising to the neck and grabbing the hands, then moving in the opposite direction. A broom, and preferably two, easily and smoothly slides along the side surfaces of the body. This technique allows you to relax and tune in to harder actions.

Stroking alternates with compresses - hot air is captured by a broom and pressed tightly against the lower back, shoulder blades, feet and popliteal cavities.

  1. Pushing and whipping.

With quick and light movements, the broom hits the body. The direction of movement is from the back to the lower back, buttocks, legs and feet. The front surface is also quilted - from top to bottom. Push-ups alternate with strokes and last no more than 2 minutes.

Whipping is very similar to broom compresses, with the difference that hot air is not pressed against the body, but 2-3 sliding blows are produced by it.

  1. Pat.

To the layman's eye, patting is no different from whipping. However, lying on a shelf in a steam room, you will literally feel the difference “in your own skin”: hot air is “nailed” to the place where the broom is applied with uniform blows.

  1. Trituration.

This technique usually completes the massage: an already rather shabby broom is pressed against the body and the skin is rubbed through the leaves with a free hand.

There is another massage technique that treats joints and muscles, a poultice. The essence of this method lies in the fact that with a broom they bring heat to the body, then press it to the skin, and cover it with another broom on top. The poultice does not last long - 10-20 seconds.

Advice!
In order to regulate a rapid heartbeat, you need to dip a broom in cool water and apply it to your face and to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe heart.

It should be noted that not all brooms have the same effect on the body:

  • Linden - eliminates headaches, increases sweating, has a diuretic effect;
  • Alder - used for colds, aching muscles and joints;
  • Birch - perfectly cleanses the skin, promotes better sputum discharge and ventilation of the lungs, improves mood;
  • Oak - helps with some skin diseases, excessive sweating of the legs;
  • Nettle - saves from sciatica, gout, rheumatism, perfectly relieves muscle fatigue.

The process of preparing brooms is also very exciting and brings a lot of pleasure to its lovers. There are also ready-to-use brooms on sale, the price for them is acceptable and you don’t have to wander around forest plantations with a pruner in your hands.

Body masks

Any woman knows that the greatest effect from the use of masks is achieved by applying them to clean skin with open pores. Therefore, the tradition of taking care of the skin of the face and body in the bath has been around for decades.

According to the effect on the skin, masks are divided into:

  • sweating;
  • Cleansing;
  • Nutritious;
  • Moisturizing.

It is very important to follow the correct sequence in the use of masks, so that the result from their use only grows.

Masks are applied to the body in between visits to the steam room. First of all, a perspiration mask is used: honey and salt are mixed in equal proportions, and the resulting mass is evenly spread over the body. The result will not keep you waiting: the process of natural perspiration intensifies, and together with sweat, toxins and toxins leave the body forever.

Having sweated well, it's time to apply a homemade scrub. Dead skin flakes have already steamed out and it remains only to “scrape off” and wash them off.

The composition of the scrub as the main ingredient includes substances with crumbs: coffee grounds, granulated sugar, ground nut shells, etc. For the viscosity of small particles, milk, cream or yogurt is taken. You can also honey, but remember about allergies!

After you have cleansed the skin, you can pamper it: it's time to nourish and moisturize. What kind of mask to make is up to you. Seasonal fruits usually go into their composition, so proceed from the availability of the necessary components and the simplicity of the recipe (after all, you came to the bathhouse to relax, and not engage in complex preparations ?!).

You also need to choose the composition of the mask, taking into account the type of your skin.

We will give a couple of recipes for universal products suitable for all skin types.

  1. Any fermented milk product (kefir, cream cheese) is mixed with fruit pulp, cucumber can also be added. The resulting slurry should not flow out of the palm of your hand.
    The mask is applied after the next exit from the steam room for 10-15 minutes, then washed off with cool water.
  2. To 200 ml of honey (preferably lime), 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese and sour cream is added. The finished mass is smeared over the body and remains on it for 10 minutes. The softness and tenderness of the skin is guaranteed!

For all the cares about the beauty of the body, do not forget about the care of hair, face, hands and feet. However, this is a topic for a separate article.

How to lose weight in the bath

Procedures in the bath for weight loss will require great restraint from you: you must strictly observe the drinking regimen. Or rather, its complete absence.

As you know, in the steam room, under the influence of heat and moisture, increased sweating begins and the metabolism accelerates. The loss of excess fluid can be from 2 to 4 liters. Naturally, this figure will be reflected in the scales.

However, if you give a slack and quench your thirst, the body will immediately replenish the supply of water and the weight will return to its previous values.

In the struggle for a beautiful figure, a woman also uses “heavy artillery” - body wraps.

The wrap replaces a nourishing or moisturizing mask and is performed on clean, scrubbed skin after leaving the steam room.

The most pleasant wrap is chocolate. The composition is prepared extremely simply: coffee grounds are mixed with a tablespoon of any oil (olive, coconut) and 2-3 slices of bitter chocolate, crushed on graters (in order to melt faster).

The body is rubbed with warm chocolate mass, and problem areas are wrapped in cling film. A bathrobe is put on top to enhance the effect. You will have to inhale the alluring sweet aromas for about 20 minutes, after which a stream of warm water will wash away any reminders of this forbidden delicacy from your body.

In recent years, absolutely all women, starting from the age of 20, are looking for manifestations of cellulite on their body (most often on the hips and buttocks). Having found them, they begin to get rid of this secondary sexual characteristic with enthusiasm.

With systematic use, anti-cellulite masks will help to even out the skin. Here is one of the recipes for a miracle drug: add 1 egg yolk, half a teaspoon of vegetable oil and a spoonful of honey to crushed 100 g of strawberries.

Apply the mask on the problem area for 5 minutes, rinse. Admire smooth skin. The effect of daily use will be noticeable after 2 weeks.

No matter how effective all procedures for weight loss are, we do not bring drinks with us to baths and saunas! This rule is strictly observed.

Summary

We introduced you to the types, features and sequence of bath procedures. The video in this article will clearly show you all the above methods of broom massage, and you will also get some practical tips for making body care products.

Systematic visits to the baths, carrying out complex bathing procedures will give you a good mood, health and prolong the youth of the body and spirit for a long time!

After visiting the steam room, you can drink herbal tea. All the beneficial substances found in the herbs in the bath do not have time to pass through the kidneys and bladder, they exit through the pores of the skin, naturally healing it.

You can increase subsequent visits to the steam room up to 10-12 minutes. For 3-4 times, you can already take a steam bath with a broom.

With a broom, you not only do self-massage, but also pump air over the surface of the skin, thereby increasing the process of pore expansion. Leaves of a broom (birch, oak, coniferous) affect your skin, they also have their healing effect.

Do everything with pleasure and comfort, follow your feelings, if it’s already hard to be in a steam room, it’s better to go out. Don't exhaust yourself, it won't do you any good.

After the steam room, you can douse yourself with cold water or stand under a cool shower. Contrasting procedures strengthen the vessels very well.

Be sure to wash your skin after visiting the steam room, so that toxic substances do not penetrate back into the pores.

Since the skin is steamed, it becomes susceptible to procedures, so masks can be applied to the face, and the body can be scrubbed.

Helpful Hints:

Do not pour out the infusion that comes from steaming a broom, but rinse your body or hair with it.

Between visits to the steam room, give yourself a massage using special gloves made from natural materials and massage brushes. It is better to buy a brush with a long handle.

Massage your belly, thighs, and also your shoulders very gently. These places in women accumulate a lot of negativity.

You can make a fantastic face mask: soak some oatmeal, add two tablespoons of sour cream and half a teaspoon of honey. Apply to face and wash off with warm water without soap.

Scrub on the body: take dried coffee cake, pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil (I used coconut oil), and two or three slices of dark chocolate. Smells divine.

And the benefits are huge. Coffee breaks down fats, chocolate and butter nourish and regenerate the skin.

It is better to grate the chocolate so that it has time to melt. If it hardens, bring a jar of scrub into the steam room for 10 minutes.

After the steam room, the skin is ready to actively absorb all your beneficial creams, so apply nourishing cocktails or creams within 10-15 minutes.

As for the cost of visiting the bath, the price of such pleasure is affordable, I go to the luxury department for only 280 rubles, but at the same time there are only 4-5 women in the department, and no one in the steam room.

Bath is a great place where you can pay attention to yourself and your body, improve your health, rejuvenate and improve your mood. Do not deny yourself such pleasure!

If you have been going to the bathhouse for a long time, be sure to share your secrets in the comments.
