What is proper Sweat Etiquette?

  • We will provide 2 wet towels to be used after the sauna is complete, to allow for toxins to be removed along with residual sweat.  However, it is highly recommend that you shower when you get home to ensure all toxins have been removed as you continue to sweat for about an hour after the session.
