Why Infrared Heat Is So Good for Your Skin (and why I’m obsessed with the sauna blanket) One thing the book Quench explains really well is that infrared light helps your skin hold water differently in a deeper, more “gel-like” way that your cells actually love.

Studies have shown that even basic infrared bulbs can support: 🌿 softer, smoother skin 🌿 better hydration 🌿 a natural boost in collagen 🌿 a healthier look feel
