Many health benefits have been attributed to regular sauna bathing, including improved blood circulation and respiratory function and strengthened immunity to illness. A British Medical Association study found that people who take sauna baths two or three times a week reduce their incidence of colds and flu by more than 65 percent.

Even if a health insurance plan covers your medical expenses, a sauna room in your home can still save and even earn you a substantial amount of money. If you already enjoy the benefits of sauna bathing at a local health club, spa or gym, calculate what you would save in usage fees and gas expenses if you stayed home to sauna.

Also worth considering is the extra money a sauna room could bring you if and when you decide to sell your home. Often seen as luxury items by real estate agents, special features such as indoor saunas typically help to increase the resale values of homes.

Remember that an indoor sauna room need not be the same size as your living room or family room. Many homeowners choose to transform just a portion of their bedroom, bathroom or basement into a sauna room.

For practical purposes, though, you don’t want your indoor sauna room to be too small. You’ll need to have sufficient space in your sauna room for you to move around freely, lie down on the sauna benches, and share your sauna comfortably with family and friends.

And thanks to the popular option of do-it-yourself sauna kits, you can get as involved in the sauna building process as you choose to be. Once you decide on the size and features of your sauna room, finding and assembling a DIY sauna kit should be quite easy.

Whatever steps you choose to take to add a sauna room to your home, do not ignore the importance of home sauna accessories.

For its proven positive impact on human health and happiness, an indoor sauna room should be considered an absolute must for anyone who owns a home.

MicrodermaMitt, Inc. announced today a revolutionary, all-natural, new exfoliating mitt available for consumers who want healthier skin without the use of chemicals or synthetic materials. The MicrodermaMitt® deeply exfoliates safely and effectively to improve the appearance and texture of your skin in just minutes using only water. It gives skin the gentle yet effective treatment it needs to stay smooth, radiant and healthy.

It was developed after the founder and president, Judy Nural, lived in Turkey. During a “nirvana” Turkish bath experience she was exfoliated from head-to-toe. Afterwards, not only did it look like she had shed five pounds of dead skin but, says Nural, “my skin was like a baby’s skin, so smooth and radiant, I felt young again.” Upon her return to the United States, she became disappointed and frustrated after trying all the ‘latest and greatest’ and extremely expensive exfoliating spa treatments and products which could not come close to delivering the outstanding results she experienced at Turkish Baths. Without comparable products available, she set out to create the experience for herself and others like her, a natural method of deep exfoliation. Using her 20 years of product development, consumer research and marketing background with major U.S. companies, she researched and tested various options with enthusiastic consumers and MicrodermaMitt® was born.

The MicrodermaMitt®, available for both the face and the body, uses only water to deeply exfoliate and remove dry and dead skin cells to reveal new, smoother and healthier skin immediately.

The Mitt contains no ingredients or synthetic materials but uses only water to deliver results without the need for chemical, scrubs or machines, so it is non-irritating, even on sensitive skin. It is made of 100 percent floss silk and a patented weaving technique which delivers many of the same benefits as microdermabrasion, without the often irritating side-effects.

It is recommended to use the Face Mitt one to three times a week and the Body Mitt one to two times a week using only water which causes the fibers to swell and form a gentle friction. The MicrodermaMitt® is reusable for up to four months and should be rinsed out with warm water and allowed to air dry between uses. It shouldn’t be used if skin is infected, has open-sores or is irritated.
