Christmas sauna is an important holiday tradition for many. When it is time to calm down and get ready to enjoy the holidays, sauna will help you by relaxing both mind and body. We listed some popular ways and tips on how to enjoy the holiday sauna experience with all your senses.
Clensing your skin before sauna
It is important to cleanse your skin before entering a sauna. Often during the winter, cold air outdoors combined with heated dry air indoors results in dry skin. Rimita Green has made a perfect holiday gift set from gently foaming oil cleansers. The oils are from finnish nature and both vegan and organic! Rimita Green products are designed and manufactured in Finland.
Sauna that smells like the finnish forest
To elevate your finnish sauna experience even further, you should try to bring the fresh smell of the finnish forest to your sauna. Finnish sauna scent bags can be found from both Nystad Sauna Company and Relax Sauna. Nystad Sauna Company has a perfect gift idea: Sauna Scent Gift Set. The set includes three different forest scents. The best results can be achieved by first pouring warm water on top of the bag and then adding both the water and the bag into your löyly water. When you throw the löyly on the sauna stove, close your eyes and imagine yourself in the middle of a finnish forest.
Nystad Sauna Company also has indulgent holiday packages to do a foot or hand treatments at home. Forest Bath Gift Set includes three different scented bags that include salt from the Alps and peppermint. Foot bath can be very relaxing when combined with sauna.
Get refreshed in the middle of your sauna session
