Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I sauna?
Infrared is recommended 4-5 times a week for maximum results. Although not everyone can 4-5 times a week so adding it to your weekly routine once or twice a week will be very beneficial. So, just like exercise, the more you come the more you will feel the benefits.
​
Why didn't I sweat during my first session?
Sunlighten says you may not sweat during your first session, and that is okay. The sweating factor depends on a few things, your water intake and hydration level being one of them. The more often you sauna, the more you are proven to sweat.
​
How long does my session last?
Your session may last up to 40 minutes. (There is one wellness program that is 45)
You may get out early if necessary.
​
Should I oil up to sauna?? NOOO
**Best Practice is to dry brush, shower, SAUNA, and then shower again. It is okay to wait until you get home to shower. =)
