5 Ways To Boost Your Sauna Benefits

  1. Dry brush before you heat up: Dry brushing before your sauna session helps awaken your lymphatic system, boost circulation and promote detox flow. In addition, dry brushing exfoliates your skin and sweeps away the dead skin cells and debris blocking your pores—which allows you to sweat out toxins more efficiently. Use The Body Brush for gentle exfoliation, or The Copper Body Brush for an added detox boost.
  1. Bring your Body Sculptor: When you practice your lymphatic drainage massage ritual in the sauna, you’ll amplify the benefits even more. The heat from the sauna increases blood circulation, which helps your body move lymph fluid to your lymph nodes, so they can do their job of filtering out waste and toxins. With its compact go-anywhere size, The Body Sculptor is the perfect body massage tool to take on your next trip to the spa!
  1. Practice diaphragmatic breathing: The simple act of deep belly breathing helps boost detox flow, because it creates a pressure variation in the abdomen that helps move lymph fluid to your lymph nodes. When you’re relaxing in the sauna, pay attention to the “in and out” flow of your breath and really engage your diaphragm.
  1. Drink Up: Sweating out toxins is a good thing, but you want to make sure to replace any fluids you’ve lost. Stay hydrated before, during and after your sauna session. Cucumber water and herbal teas are our favorite way to rehydrate. 
  1. Hydrate your skin: When your skin is still warm from the sauna, creams and oils will sink in like a dream. Our fave post-sauna combo: Apply Lift & Tone Body Cream for velvety soft, instantly firmer-looking skin—then layer on Flow + Glow Body Oil for added toning and detox benefits.
