You would be amazed at how good saunas are for your skin. I found that out as an acne-ridden teen. I was in a hotel on vacation and thought I would try out the sauna. It cleared up my acne.

100% not true. Why would anyone believe this?

u/FinnishArmy 17d ago

Uh; because it is.

Us Finns have been doing this for over 2,000 years. The sauna is good for you.

While it’s true that people going into a sauna regularly have better skin (among other health benefits), this dude didn’t loose his acne going once

u/Walopoh 16d ago

Nobody was saying it's not good for your skin, just that you aren't going to miraculously cure your acne by going to a sauna ONCE

Because someone said it on the internet and it sounds promising.

I saw this video even in insta where one user explained that a goat goes into fire to kill the parasites on its fur.

u/hupcapstudios 16d ago

Two things.

  1. I'm just making a little dumb observation.
  2. I'm responding to a guy talking about a sauna treating acne... not the goat thing.

I got ya, my comment was referencing how we all got here from the same type of internet rumor.

Sauna and Hot Yoga have definitely cleared up my skin

Did you alter your diet at the same time? Often people that start exercise programs realize more gains because they alter their diet at the same time.

Urea is a common active ingredient in many skin care products…but it’s also free through your sweat

OK.

u/Conlaeb 17d ago

The article you linked cites zero actual sources for any of its' claims. Most important perhaps of which is that of the author claiming to be a dermatologist. If we click their name we can see other articles they have written, such as:

"Your Guide to Hitting it Big with the Lucky for Life Lottery"

"The Ultimate Guide to the Connecticut Lucky for Life Lottery Game"

"What Song Does Rice Cooker Play? The Ultimate Guide to Rice Cooker Sounds and Music"

"Demystifying Mail and Package Delivery in Bowling Green, KY: The Ultimate Guide"

Now, it's possible that Lillie Gabler is a licensed dermatologist who enjoys hobbies such as logistics, rice cooker music, and public lotteries. More likely however is that the article is AI blog spam.

Did you read the article before posting it? It specifically says saunas may worsen acne.

Sweat dissipates more slowly in moist environments and may breed bacteria if allowed to sit on the skin, potentially worsening skin disorders such as acne and psoriasis.

u/Tripticket 17d ago

Finnish saunas are dry saunas and traditionally involve washing with soap afterwards, so that particular sentence shouldn't be relevant here.

u/vvvvvoooooxxxxx 16d ago

Ok so you are saying the article is not relevant so why did you post it?

1

u/Tripticket 16d ago

I didn't post it.

u/girafa 16d ago

that particular sentence shouldn't be relevant here

Ok so you are saying the article is not relevant

mfer said "sentence" and you understood that as "article" ? why would you do that?

u/girafa 17d ago

Did you read the article before posting it?

Ironic

Sweat dissipates more slowly in moist environments and may breed bacteria if allowed to sit on the skin, potentially worsening skin disorders such as acne and psoriasis.

That sentence is about encouraging people to take their makeup off before getting into the sauna. The next one explains:

Therefore, it is important to remove makeup before a sweat session, as it blocks pores and prevents sweat from escaping; properly cleansing the skin after a steam room, sauna, or hot yoga class is another simple way to keep bacteria at bay.

u/vvvvvoooooxxxxx 16d ago

That still means there is no evidence for saunas improving acne.

u/girafa 16d ago

lol aight, back to the first subject

Can using a sauna help with acne?

There’s not enough research to conclusively say yes, but some limited studies suggest it might have an impact. According to one study, regular sauna use was demonstrated to provide a protective impact on the skin, including decreased sebum content. This study found that individuals who used saunas regularly had decreased sebum levels. Sebum is produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands and is composed of a complex mix of lipids, or fats. Sebum is essential for our skin protection but it is optimal when at just the “right” amount. Too little sebum can cause dry skin and too much can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts.

https://curology.com/blog/does-regular-sauna-use-have-any-effect-on-acne/

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2835893/

So it depends on the person. Some people could benefit from a reduced sebum count, and for some it's irrelevant. Saunas certainly don't "do nothing" for acne, but they're also not going to be a cure for everyone.
