How to use the sauna properly?
The first step is the shower for hygiene reasons and drying the body with the towel to allow the body to warm up properly. In the dry sauna the heat rises as you go higher. After 8 minutes the body becomes comfortable with the heat and since then it begins to really eliminate the toxins and enjoy the properties of this procedure. The recommended time for beginners is 10-15 minutes and no more. After completing the program it is good to opt for a cold shower that stimulates blood circulation and contributes to the beauty of the skin, at Ana Wellness & SPA we provide Frigidarium dedicated to this step.
