A fogged mirror is what you get every single time you step out of the shower. Not a problem with the bedroom or living mirror or even small mirror compact favors on display on your table top, but because of the steam and moisture generated by the flowing water in the bathroom, you get to see fog cover the whole bathroom mirror after you shower.
There are simple and easy ways to combat fog in the bathroom and keep your mirrors as free as a whistle. You can place a towel over the mirror and let it absorb the moisture before it reaches the surface of the mirror. Simply cover the mirror with your towel or you can place clips on the sides of the mirror to hold them up. Be careful though not to cause cracks in the mirror and to handle them carefully so you will not injure yourself.
Alternatively, you may want to try using the same anti-fog cream you use on your car on the mirrors in your bathroom. They work pretty much the same and you do not have to purchase a separate anti-fog cream for bathroom mirrors. Remove the dirt and grime from the mirror by wiping it off with a clean piece of cloth or a paper towel and let it dry. Next, apply the anti-fog cream on the mirror and ensure that the whole mirror has been covered. Let it dry and after a few minutes, you can shower and not have to worry about fogged mirrors.
If you want an alternative solution, you can use shaving cream to fight the fog. First, you need to clean up the mirror by wiping it clean so the anti-fog substances can cling completely to the mirror. After cleaning, apply a small amount of shaving cream on a piece of cloth and carefully apply over the entire surface of the mirror.
After you shower, you can see that any of these three tricks will work wonders and keep your bathroom mirror fog free. It is such a nuisance and a little of a pet peeve to see fogged up mirrors and it will definitely be a refreshing new change to your day when you start facing the bathroom mirror and see that it is fog-free even after you shower. Instead of spending time clearing up the fog, you can now do something about it and actually prevent fog from forming on your bathroom mirror.

Health Benefits of Steam Baths and Saunas
Even in the world of medicine, medical practitioners support the use of saunas and steam baths for many physical and mental benefits. Every sauna experience absolutely brings immediate feelings or relief and improved mood for every person. However, apart from the beauty benefits of saunas for your skin, there are other benefits. These effects can range from glowing skin to improved sleep to production of healthier cells. Here are some of the great things saunas can do for you.
Breathing the clean and humidified air in the sauna helps in proper breathing as the temperature can help clear any decongestant in the air passage. This clears the way for healthier lungs and improved breathing and thus, improved mental focus and concentration. The relaxed ambience will help you get a good night’s sleep and has proven to help people deal with insomnia. If aromatherapy is added to the treatment, this doubles the relaxing effects of the sauna.
People are encouraged to keep quiet inside a sauna to help themselves and others relax and meditate. This mental benefit is of great help for people who are deeply stressed and need to quiet down their minds. The heat inside the sauna improves blood flow and is helpful to people for relaxing their muscles and joints. This then becomes an overall body massage that relieves strain from all parts of the body. It also increases the production of white blood cells – the cells that naturally fights off illnesses in the body.
A session in the sauna enables you to release toxins from your body. With the heat, your skin pores open up and are consequently cleansed as toxins are cleared out through the sweat. Immediately after you leave the sauna, you can see your skin glowing for the next few hours as it is rejuvenated.
There are a lot of spa and sauna centers everywhere you go. At times, these services are given as gifts for mothers or a family member to relieve their stress. If a spa treatment is expensive, especially if you plan to give them to a lot of people as gifts to colleagues or bath wedding favors, you can give sauna related items instead such as salt scrubs, soaps or lotions.
Every sauna session brings about a lot of health benefits. So even if you spend only a few minutes in the sauna, know that it has many health benefits to make you feel good inside and out.
