Firstly, it’s always a
good idea to check what materials your sauna is made from. A sauna should be a
sanctuary of well being, so avoiding anything toxic, such as chemical glues,
paints, varnishes, plastic or cheap plywood (which can contain formaldehyde) is
essential. We love Sauna Space and best infrared sauna for their
natural, non-toxic components; including Eco-certified solid Canadian
Cedar-wood, Nordic Spruce, cotton canvas, bamboo and stainless steel.
Schedule your cheap sauna according to your needs. First thing in the morning often helps people to focus on the day ahead, whereas an evening session can encourage a blissful night’s sleep. Anything you can do to dilate your blood vessels per-sauna; perhaps a little yoga, or a gentle gym session, will prep your body for what’s to come, relax your muscles and work to enhance the benefits of your infrared sauna. Before you dive straight in, it’s important to ensure your skin is totally clean by rinsing off in a shower. Wash your face and fully remove any makeup, lotions, dirt or sweat so you enter the sauna fresh and with unpolluted, chemical-free pores.
Only stay in the sauna as
long as you feel comfortable, but always try to sit it out at least until you
break a proper sweat - as this is when the real health benefits kick-in. For
most people, this will be around 15-20 minutes. Longer sessions of 30-45
minutes also work well, and will leave you feeling fully recharged and
restored. Build up your time gradually as your tolerance increases. Some people
swear by a daily infrared sauna, whilst others enjoy a few sessions a week.
The aim of the game is to absorb as much healing infrared light and heat as you
can, so depending on the type of infrared sauna you’re using, position yourself
so that the heaters are reaching as much of your body as possible. This might
mean sitting up straight with the heat hitting the front and back of your
torso, or rotating a ¼ turn every few minutes if you’re sat on a central stool with
infrared bulbs only on one side of the sauna.
How often do we get to sit CA lily, in total peace, doing something that benefits our body? Use your precious one person sauna session to take time out of your busy day and allow yourself to relax. Enjoy the freedom from distractions and technology. To fully embrace the digital detox, you could try meditating, practicing mindfulness, or simply breathing deeply and closing your eyes. So, you’ve successfully opened your pores, cleansed your system, got your blood pumping and sweated so profusely you’re glistening from head to toe. Now that you’re out, you need to close those pores and rinse away that sweat to avoid re-absorption of the toxins you’ve just worked so hard to release, meaning a post-sauna cold shower is absolutely essential.
If it isn’t washed away, excess salt, sebum and bacteria left on
your skin can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Taking a cold shower will
not only close your pores, but it will also boost your circulation; drawing the
blood back to your vital organs and leaving you feeling reinvigorated and
refreshed.
Why not
try using an exfoliating body scrub or natural loofah as you shower for a
little extra pampering and to remove any stubborn dead skin cells.
