Hard Breaking a Sweat?

Heard the phrase, “Women Glow and Men Sweat”?

1. Ladies often have skin pores that are clogged up with year’s worth of moisturisers, make-up, and anti-perspirants. It can take quite a few sauna sessions to “free” up clogged pores!

2. Generally ladies’ sweat glands aren’t accustomed to perspiring in order to cool their bodies, as are athletes or labourers. [In fact, the fitter someone is, the more they have developed sweating as an efficient means to keeping cool] Therefore, Ladies, it sometimes takes our sweat glands time to get “use to” perspiring to cool us off!

3. The female menstrual cycle – at different “times of the month” our body temperature changes, as does our hormones and moods. Many women will report that at times they “absorb” more heat (thereby sweating less) compared to other times of the month, where they will perspire very easily.

4. Are you well hydrated? Our body doesn’t like releasing fluids in quantities it doesn’t have! Ensure you drink plenty of plain water for up to 3 hours before your sauna.

5. Is the temperature of the sauna set too low? Check that the ceiling vent is closed too as this will affect the temperature.

6. The sun emits far-infrared heat and therefore, the outside temperature may adjust the way you feel in a sauna! On a warm day there is more Far-infrared in the atmosphere and so you will tend to sweat at a lower temperature. On a cooler day you may need to sauna at a higher temperature due to less far-infrared energy in the air.

7. Remember that a Sunlight Sauna is a dry sauna; not a humid, steam sauna. Far–infrared saunas function differently to conventional steam saunas.

a. Conventional steam saunas rely on ‘convection heat,’ which is the surrounding air temperature being hot enough to make you sweat (usually around 90-100°C). Thus it results in a ‘surface sweat’ of 97% water and only 3% toxins.
b. Far-infrared heat penetrates into the body directly (approx 3-4cm) and therefore, it takes longer to break out in a sweat. But it will be a more efficient elimination of wastes deep from within the body of 80% water and 20% toxins. The gentle heat of a SUNLIGHT SAUNA (around 50 degrees lower), over time, results in a more comfortable and productive sweat!

8. Plus there is also the conception through Mother Nature that, “Women will glow and Men will sweat!” But SUNLIGHT SAUNAS SOLOCARBON® technology ensures both genders will relax and rejuvenate!
