The Benefits of Using Oil in your Sauna Session

We have shared how monoi oil has been used for centuries for its many benefits for the skin and hair. Let’s talk about how we can change up monoi use. In this article, we are going to explore how you can use monoi oil in the sauna and the many benefits it can provide.

When using oil in the sauna, it is important to start off by choosing a high-quality oil. For those of you who are not familiar with monoi oil, it is a natural oil that is made by infusing the petals of Tahitian gardenias (also known as tiare flowers) into coconut oil. The quality of the oil can vary depending on the flowers used and the production process. Look for a pure, natural monoi oil that has been sustainably produced to ensure you are getting the best possible quality.

In The Original Hair Oil, the tiare flowers are harvested in the early morning, before the heat of the day, when their fragrance is the most potent.

Both The Original Hair Oil and Trésor des îles Face Oil can be used as multipurpose. If you would like a rich tropical aroma, use the The Original Hair Oil , if you prefer fragrance-free, use the Trésor des îles Face Oil .

To use monoi oil in the sauna, start by applying a small amount of oil to your skin or targeted area, before entering the sauna. Monoi oil is an excellent oil for the sauna because it can also help to soothe any irritation or inflammation. The heat can help to open up your pores, allowing the monoi oil to penetrate deeper into your skin for a deep moisturising treatment.

After finishing your sauna session, take a cool shower to rinse off any sweat and excess oil. The cool shower will also help to close your pores. For dry skin, re-apply monoi oil to your skin to replenish moisture on the skin barrier.

So what are the benefits of using monoi oil in the sauna? It is an excellent way to protect your skin from heat and humidity of the sauna as the heat can cause your skin to become dehydrated or irritated if you already have dry skin. The emollient properties of monoi oil can help to prevent this from happening.

By using a high-quality monoi oil before and after your sauna session, you can protect your skin, and get a deeper moisturising treatment whilst your pores are open.
