Saunas strengthen the body's defences
Regular sauna treatments followed by cold applications have been proven to strengthen the body's defences and train the body to adapt to changing temperatures. The dry heat in the sauna room dilates the blood vessels. The subsequent cooling narrows them again. This prevents colds, as viruses and bacteria have less chance of spreading. Many viruses and bacteria cannot tolerate high temperatures.

Sauna infusions of the highest quality
Sauna infusions are becoming increasingly popular for sauna bathing. Infusions have an additional heat stimulus and are only carried out towards the end of the stay in the sauna room for reasons of tolerance. The cooling evaporation of sweat from the skin is interrupted by the sudden increase in humidity in the sauna room. This creates a feeling of increased heat on the skin.

Find the right sauna infusion for your needs:

Sauna scrubs for soft skin
Try our Dresdner Essenz body scrubs with your sauna session or in the steam bath: fine sea salt removes dead skin cells, opens pores and allows the skin to "breathe deeply".

Mild shower products after a sauna session
After sweating, good body care is the be-all and end-all. A refreshing shower afterwards is particularly good. When choosing shower products, you should make sure that your skin is not dried out. With their mild sugar and coconut surfactants, Dresdner Essenz shower gels are particularly gentle on the skin and retain its natural moisture.
The skin needs moisturising after a sauna session
If you suffer from dry skin, moisturising after the sauna is a good way to restore its balance. Make sure that you no longer sweat after moisturising, so you should cool down sufficiently beforehand.
