If you’re wondering what to wear in a sauna, the answer is your birthday suit, or as little clothing as possible.

The life expectancy of your sauna depends on: what type it is, the quality of the materials, what heating element it has, how well it’s maintained and if it’s installed indoors or outside.

The biggest benefit of an at home sauna is that it allows you to have a luxurious spa-like retreat in the convenience of your own home.

If you’re buying a sauna you’ll want to consider: where it'll be installed, how many people will use it and what heat source and materials you’d like.

Regardless if you’re planning to use a public or a personal sauna, it’s usually a good idea to shower before and after your session to prevent spreading and picking up germs and bacteria.

The life expectancy of your sauna depends on how it’s built and the type of heating elements (carbon or ceramic) it includes.

Saunas are made with materials that are durable, safe and easy to clean. A quick wipe down after each use and regular deep cleaning will keep your sauna safe and enjoyable to use.

It’s normal not to sweat or not to sweat very much during a sauna session and there could be very several reasons both internal and external.

Ultimately it will come down to what type of healing experience you are looking for. While both near and far infrared systems can benefit your body, they go about it differently.

Unfortunately using a sauna alone won’t produce dramatic weight loss but, as part of a healthy lifestyle, it can enhance the effects of diet and exercise.
