Maintaining Your Spa Effortlessly

1
Should I Worry about Sebum in My Spa?

• Not at all!

2
What is Sebum?

• Sebum is an oil that is created in the
  microscopic sebaceous glands of the skin.
• It consists of fat, keratin, and other cellular
  materials.
• Its material makeup makes it useful for
  lubricating and softening skin.

What is Sebum For?

• Sebum lubricates and waterproofs both your skin
  and your hair.
• Unclogs pores in the skin.
• Recent research shows that it may be a delivery
  system for different antioxidants, pheromones,
  and other antimicrobial properties.

Where is Sebum Found?

• Sebum is located in multiple areas in the human
  body.
• It is mostly found in the face and the scalp.
  This makes sense as one of the main functions of
  the secretion is waterproofing.
• Sebum is also found in lesser amounts in the
  soles of the feet and the palms of the hands. It
  is also found in tears.

Unchecked Sebum

• While sebum is important for the maintenance of
  your hair and skin, it does build up and needs to
  be washed.
• Unchecked sebum is identified as one of the
  causes of oily hair.
• An overproduction of sebum is also known to be a
  contributing factor to acne.

Sebum and Your Spa

• When you learn about what sebum is, the
  temptation is to become grossed out.
• The thought of the waxy oil building up in your
  spa can be a discomforting thought.
• However, this is not a problem. Keep in mind that
  it comes from microscopic glands and is not a
  visible liquid.

Sebum and Your Spa

• On the contrary, the spa is actually designed to
  help keep your sebum flowing and your skin
  healthy.
• Just as anything else that gets used, your spa
  still needs maintenance.
• Your spa filter does a great job of filtering
  your water, but chemicals should still be used.

Benefits of a Spa

• The heat of the spa helps the flow of the sebum
  from the sebaceous glands.
• This increased flow of sebum helps to unclog
  pores that have gotten blocked by other waste
  materials.
• The increased flow also assists in moisturizing
  the skin, leaving it supple and clean.

Benefits of a Spa

• The effects of an increased flow of sebum has a
  better effect on the skin than topical
  moisturizers.
• The heat and the fluid work together and help to
  exfoliate the skin.
• By working with a dermatologists instructions, a
  spa can help to clear up acne caused by excess
  sebum.

  is not a problem for your spa.

  the flow of sebum and the movement of bodily
  waste.

  sebum, but should still be maintained.
