At Perfect Fit Health and Fitness, we believe in customized wellness, and our Infrared Sauna is designed to fit seamlessly into your fitness routine. Whether you’re recovering after a high-energy Zumba class, winding down after strength training, or simply prioritizing relaxation and self-care, our sauna is here to enhance your health, recovery, and overall well-being. To help you get the most out of your session, we’ve put together some expert Infrared Sauna tips for an optimal experience!
1. Hydrate Before & After Your Infrared Sauna Session 💦
Sauna therapy works wonders for detoxification, but sweating means your body is losing fluids. Drink plenty of water before and after your session to stay hydrated and support your body’s natural cleansing process.
🔹 Pro Tip: Add an electrolyte drink or a pinch of sea salt to your water to replenish essential minerals post-session.
2. Prep Your Skin for Maximum Absorption ✨
Before stepping into the sauna, a quick rinse or shower can help remove lotions, oils, sweat, and dirt—allowing your skin to fully absorb the infrared heat and enhance detoxification.
🔹 Pro Tip: If you’re using the sauna after a workout, cooling down slightly before entering can make the experience more comfortable.
3. Wear Minimal, Breathable Clothing 👕
The more infrared light that reaches your skin, the greater the benefits. Choose lightweight, minimal clothing like a bikini, sports bra, and shorts—or simply wrap yourself in a towel for maximum infrared exposure.
🔹 Pro Tip: Avoid synthetic fabrics, which can trap heat and prevent your body from cooling naturally.
4. Start Slow & Listen to Your Body 🕒
If you’re new to infrared sauna therapy, begin with shorter sessions (15-20 minutes) at lower temperatures. As your body adapts, gradually increase the duration and heat levels.
🔹 Pro Tip: Regular sauna users may enjoy 30-40 minute sessions to maximize detoxification and muscle recovery.
5. Adjust the Heat—Open the Door if Needed 🚪
Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat warms your body from within, so you won’t experience overwhelming heat. However, if you feel too warm, simply crack the door open for a few moments—you’ll still receive all the infrared benefits without discomfort.
🔹 Pro Tip: Keep water nearby to sip throughout your session, especially if you’re prone to overheating.
6. Relax & Enjoy the Infrared Experience 🎶
This is your time to reset and recharge. Close your eyes, focus on deep breathing, meditate, or listen to calming music through our high-quality sound system. The chromotherapy lighting will further enhance relaxation, boosting your mood and energy levels.
🔹 Pro Tip: If you’re using the sauna post-workout, pair it with gentle stretching or foam rolling afterward for enhanced flexibility.
7. Cool Down Naturally ❄️
After your session, allow your body to return to its normal temperature gradually. Sit, sip on water, and enjoy the lingering feeling of relaxation and rejuvenation.
🔹 Pro Tip: Avoid jumping straight into intense activity—this is your post-sauna zen time!
8. Wipe Off or Rinse with a Cool Shower 🚿
You’ll notice a healthy, post-sauna glow after your session. Towel off any sweat or take a refreshing, cool shower to rinse off toxins and leave your skin feeling clean and invigorated.
🔹 Pro Tip: A cold rinse stimulates circulation and can boost post-sauna recovery!
