Here’s an interesting, and maybe a little disturbing, new beauty product: the Akaishi Aluminum Foil Facial.
Inventorspot.com reports on the latest Japanese skin care technology that hydrates your skin by wrapping your face in a purple aluminum sheet. The mask covers your face, except for your eyes and nose of course, and is secured in back with a Velcro strap.Theoretically it works like a little sauna: your perspiration is trapped close to the skin giving it a plump hydrated feel and a dewy fresh look. Of course without some kind of occlusive agent to lock in this moisture your skin will dry out again once you remove the mask. I suppose you could just wear the mask all the time, as long you’re not outside in a lightening storm. This could be even better than the aluminum foil hat that Sarah Bellum wears to keep out those voices in her head!
What do YOU think? Have you ever used a sauna to moisturize your skin? Leave a comment for the rest of the Beauty Brains community.

Without doubt better than Sarah Bellum’s! It will keep the voices out, *and* hydrate the skin.
Joke aside, I do over night “masks” for my hands but with cotton gloves, so why not for the face? Tempted to try…
Thanks Righty! You know how much I love it when our posts make fun of me.
I never use any kind of sauna aluminium foil to keep my face hydrated nor any friends using this method. Maybe it is true but to get hydrated with your own sweat? I don’t think so, I will never try it or recommend it to others.
It is amazing what us women will do to look good. I think this one is a bit overboard. I don’t know how popular will be in a market where people are looking for more natural methods of beauty.
I am also against putting anything that resembles a bag over my head for the sake of beauty. I will stick to a real sauna or some moisturizer for that matter.
Interesting idea though…
poster is kinda off topic a tad, its obviously made so your face heats up and sweats. which why does anyone go in a walk in sauna… to sweat and clean out their pores and so forth, not to hydrate their skin, no sauna hydrates your skin as far as I know. a wet sauna actually drys out your skin. so the device is for sweating, not getting some facial or hydrating effect dont know where the poster got that from, of course it would sound stupid if thats what its for lol.
