Secret Model Beauty: I Don’t Sweat, I Glow

The Best Makeup, Skin Care, Hair, Fitness, and Diet Tips: I Don’t Sweat, I Glow

Women hate to sweat. Melting makeup, embarrassing stains, and smelling are the antithesis of femininity. However, no matter how inconvenient, sweat is wonderful for your skin and health. Benefits such as reducing muscle stiffness, burning extra calories, increasing blood circulation, promoting relaxation/well-being, and improving your immune system come with sweating.

To give skin a kick, go for a 15 minute sweat session a few times a week. There are different options for increasing sweat other than exercise such as a steam room or sauna. I prefer a steam room over the sauna because I find it easier to handle and I love the moisture. Steam rooms are also good for your respiratory system. However, people with breathing problems should probably opt for the sauna instead. Still, consult your doctor before using either.

After stepping into a steam room or sauna, you will immediately start to sweat to maintain your basal body temperature of 98.6 F. At first your body is able to fend off the heat but eventually it can no longer dissipate the heat and your body temperature inevitability begins to rise. Blood is then more forcefully shunted toward the surface of your skin causing a heavier sweat which can rinse out your pours. The increased blood circulation also brings more oxygen and nutrients to your skin’s surface.

Pat Dry Don’t Rub

To help retain natural moisture after bathing, pat dry then apply a moisturizer within three minutes of getting out of the shower. Gently blotting the skin helps lock in and retain moisture and is less irritating to dry sensitive skin.

This insures sexy, soft, and touchable skin.
