A facial treatment designed to elevate the sauna ritual, exfoliating as you apply, conditioning through the heat, and rinsing clean at the end.
Join the waitlist →Finland's sauna tradition is perhaps the best known, yet the relationship between heat and body care reaches the globe as well. Different regions developed their own preparations and practices, often using simple, plant-based ingredients to tend to the skin and body as part of the bathing experience.
TEPLO takes its name from the Czech word for “heat.” It is a nod to these traditions and to the idea behind them: that time in the heat can also be time devoted to caring for yourself. Sauna Facial brings that idea into a modern balm made specifically for the face.
Balms, oils and emollient preparations have long accompanied bathing and body-care traditions across different cultures.
Heat bathing creates something increasingly rare: uninterrupted time for yourself. TEPLO makes skincare part of that time.
Named for the Czech word for “heat,” TEPLO draws inspiration from the longstanding relationship between heat and body care.
The sauna asks something different of your skin. TEPLO brings facial care into that environment, making it part of the ritual and working alongside the sauna heat. The result is a smoother, conditioned benefit that lasts beyond the sauna itself.
Thoughtfully formulated with naturally derived ingredients to complement the body’s natural perspiration process during sauna bathing. As warmth encourages sweating, gentle exfoliation helps remove surface buildup, while rich emollients condition the skin and help retain moisture. Antioxidant-rich ingredients complement the formula, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth, and nourished. A purposeful balance of exfoliation and conditioning, designed for the warmth of the sauna.
Keep the ritual gentle. For external use only. Avoid the eye area and do not use on broken, irritated, sunburned or freshly shaved skin. If irritation occurs, rinse thoroughly and discontinue use. For daily sauna users, Sauna Facial should not automatically be used with every session; begin less frequently and adjust according to how your skin responds.

Join waitlistTEPLO is a facial exfoliating and conditioning ritual designed to make the sauna feel more complete. Applied before the heat, worn through the session and rinsed afterward, it adds a considered layer of skin care to time you are already setting aside for yourself. The sauna provides the setting; TEPLO turns the session into a more intentional ritual.
Heat may be the foundation of the sauna, yet the ritual has historically extended beyond simply sitting in a hot room. Across bathing traditions around the world, warmth has been accompanied by washing, massage, scrubbing and care for the body. TEPLO brings that fuller sense of ritual to the modern sauna: a small, tactile step that makes the time in the heat feel more considered, more complete and distinctly your own.
A sauna session already creates a rare pause in the day. TEPLO gives that pause a ritual of its own. The application, warmth and final rinse create a beginning, middle and end, transforming time in the sauna from something passive into a more complete act of care. It is a simple addition, designed to make the ritual feel richer without making it complicated.
Apply a small amount to clean skin, then enter the sauna and enjoy your session. When you are finished, rinse thoroughly. The treatment stays with you through the heat, with the rinse serving as the final step of the ritual.
Our amber jar is made from recycled PET (rPET), thoughtfully selected for its durability, lightweight construction, and refined appearance. Using recycled plastic reduces our reliance on newly produced materials, while its lighter weight helps lower transportation-related emissions compared with heavier glass packaging. Shatter-resistant and recyclable where facilities accept it, rPET offers a practical alternative to glass for the sauna environment.
