When most people hear the word “sauna”, they think of a miserably hot room where people sit and sweat in silence. No entertainment of any sorts, just a small room kept at a suffocating temperature full of stale air. Despite this lack of comfort and amenities, saunas are widely used due to the health benefits of sweating out toxins.

Thanks to the Far Infrared Home Sauna, sauna therapy has becomes more comfortable and much more cost effective to have in your home. Using roughly the same amount of power as a high dryer, the Far Infrared Home Sauna heats your body without heating the air around it by using far infrared heat technology. The infrared rays penetrate deep into the soft tissue of your body, heating and loosening tight muscles and providing warm relief to sore joints. As explained in the article “Far Infrared Heat Therapy - The Latest Innovation in Pain Relief, Blood Circulation and Healing” and an earlier blog that we posted (click here to view our far infrared heat therapy blog), infrared heat therapy offers users a variety of health benefits including reduction of cellulite, restoring elasticity to skin, removing toxins from your body, and increasing blood circulation.

Far infrared heat therapy is available in a variety of applications, but I have found the far infrared sauna to be the most enjoyable. Besides the adjustable heat levels and timer, the far infrared home sauna includes an AM/FM Stereo CD Player and an integrated reading light. With the use of an FM transmitter you can even get your iPod to play through the sauna’s stereo system! Whether you suffer from arthritis, are sore from work or a tough workout, need a way to relieve stress and tension, or deal with back pain from an old injury like me, nothing compares to the effectiveness of spending time in a far infrared sauna.

We recently had the opportunity to experience use of both the Clarisonic Skin Care Brush System and the DermaNew Microdermabrasion Total Body Experience Kit, and the differences are astounding.

The Clarisonic Skin Care Brush System was recently featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things as a skin cleansing tool. While it does provide a way to clean the skin, it feels no different than using a damp washcloth and cleans just as effectively. It lacks the ability to give you a deep, penetrating cleansing. The bristles on the brush, while comfortable, are flimsy and most likely need to be replaced frequently. Overall, we were not very satisfied with this product. Shortly after receiving it we were informed of a recall: the brush and charging stand tend to overheat and cause fires! Because we only carry the best products, that really concerned us. Way over-priced at around $190, this product is not something we would recommend to anyone.

We were then introduced to the DermaNew Microdermabrasion Total Body Experience Kit, and we can say with absolute honesty that we were very impressed. Just like the Clarisonic system, it has a brush head for skin cleaning and polishing. However, the DermaNew is more than just a skin care brush system. It is also an easy-to-use and highly effective home microdermabrasion skin treatment device. As well as the brush attachment, the DermaNew also has two different size sponge applicators for microdermabrasion and a callus softening attachment. It includes a 60 day supply of microdermabrasion cream, an exfoliating body wash that can be used daily, and a skin moisturizer than keeps your skin looking healthy and refreshed.

Our CEO has begun using the DermaNew Skin Care System and is astounded by how great her skin feels after such a short time. She says it is comfortable to use yet gives her skin a deep cleansing. The microdermabrasion cream, body wash, and moisturizer are also available separately and are very inexpensive.

Overall we are very pleased and proud to carry the DermaNew Microdermabrasion Total Body Experience Kit and its accessories. It offers the ability to function as both a skin care brush system and as a form of home microdermabrasion skin care treatment, includes a variety of useful accessories, and costs less than half of what a Clarisonic Skin Care Brush costs. It is great for those with acne or acne related scars and works well as an effective anti aging device. We highly recommend this product.
