But what they looked at is how chronic exposure to the heat would age or slow down the aging process. And what you could see is the skin cells that were not heated, they aged faster than those who were actually heated. So they could see that the hormetic stress, the small portion of the heat, would slow down the aging process because it increases heat shock proteins.

And that's because of hormetic stress. So that is the healthy stress. Small portions of that heat would actually increase heat shock proteins. The thing about... heat shock proteins is that they repair the cells from the inside. And when we increase the heat shock proteins, we repair the proteins, the enzymes in the cells, so they live longer.

And that means that the skin cells in this petri dish had more moist and they also had better elastin and collagen. So a small heat, a small portion of heat could actually... make your cells, your skin cells age slower. Yeah, we can actually do a human study where they use a sauna or something, and then we can look at exactly the same. It might have been done.

I just don't really remember if I've looked at that. But I do remember the basic science stuff that I have read about. That makes sense.

Yes, yes. It would clear your pores, right? This is just my observation. But when I look at people who I know from Denmark who use a lot of sauna, they have more like very tight skin and they just look healthier. They have more beautiful skin. It's more glowing.

And I think it's because of the sweating, the rinsing of the pores, and also the increase in heat shock proteins when they're exposed to the heat. So that's why I love also going into the sauna. I want to pour water on the stones because then you also have the steam.

Yes. That seems like super beneficial. Yes. Steam the skin a little bit. We already know the benefits of that from putting the hot towels on your skin and the dermatologists do that all the time. And it's kind of like the same process that you are doing when you sit in the sauna and there's like steam in the room.

So you are steaming your skin and that is also moisturizing your skin, increasing the rate of sweating. So the more moist you have in the air, so that's going to increase also your sweating rate. Not that it's going to be easier for you to sweat, but it's definitely going to help your heart rate go up and the body wants to sweat at least. And that is helping also to moisturize your skin.
