A Guide To A Deeper Sauna Self-Care Session
I love a good infrared sauna session for all the many beautiful benefits it offers. This is my favorite downtime where I get to focus on being super present during those 30-45.
Here’s a simple guide from my own experience on how to enhance and deepen your sauna self-care routine:
Awaken Your Skin with a Gentle Dry Brush: Before stepping into the warmth of your sauna, treat yourself to some dry brushing. This simple ritual helps invigorate your lymphatic system, boosts circulation, and encourages a natural detox flow. Not only does it exfoliate your skin, sweeping away dead cells and impurities, but it also allows your body to release toxins more effectively. I always bring my Ionic Copper Dry Brush with me when I'm going to the sauna.
Bring Along Your Body Gua Sha for That Extra Care: As you indulge in your sauna session, take a moment to pamper yourself with a lymphatic drainage massage. The soothing heat enhances blood circulation, helping your body gently move lymph fluid toward your lymph nodes, where toxins are filtered away. The Bian Stone Body Gua Sha is the perfect companion for this ritual—its compact size makes it easy to bring along, so you can enjoy a rejuvenating massage anytime, anywhere.
Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing: Allow the warmth of the sauna to invite you into a state of calm as you practice deep belly breathing. This mindful act not only centers you but also promotes a gentle detox flow by helping move lymph fluid to where it’s needed most. Focus on the rhythmic “in and out” of your breath, fully engaging your diaphragm, and feel your body relax and renew.
Stay Hydrated and Nourished: As you sweat out toxins, remember to replenish the fluids your body has released. Hydrate before, during, and after your sauna session to keep your body balanced. Sipping on cucumber water, herbal teas or coconut water can be a soothing, refreshing way to stay hydrated and support your wellness journey.
Pamper Your Skin with Luxurious Hydration: Once your sauna session is complete and your skin is still warm, treat it to some extra love. A nourishing oil will absorb beautifully, leaving your skin feeling cherished and soft.
My favorite infrared sauna studio in Bali is Sundaymood Bali. Their serene and calming spaces always leave me feeling completely rejuvenated, making me eager to return the very next day.
