It can take time to sweat in an infrared sauna. Unlike in a traditional sauna where the body is responding to hot air and humidity, your body doesn’t start to sweat immediately in an infrared sauna. Infrared wavelengths are absorbed into the body and raising the core body temperature from within, breaking down toxins and inducing a sweat response. Everyone’s body is different. Depending on your body’s level of adaptation to heat, the time to sweat and the amount you sweat can vary. Often the sweat glands begin to excrete more during a session between 30 and 40 minutes.

Connie Zack, Co-Owner of Sunlighten, explains that when you sweat in a Sunlighten sauna, it is different than if you were sweating after a workout or on a hot day. You will feel that your sweat is thicker because the content of the sweat is more than just water. You are sweating toxins that are trapped in your body.

If after you step out of your sauna and you are not “sweating,” feel your skin. Is it moist? Does it feel sticky? If the answer is yes, your body is releasing toxins. Some people sweat more than others. But toxins are released during every session.

Are you drinking enough water? Are you only hydrating on days you know you will sit in the sauna? It is recommended that you drink half your body weight in ounces. Statistically, up to 75% of the American population are dehydrated. Over time, failure to drink enough water can contribute to a wide array of medical complications, from fatigue, joint pain, and weight gain to headaches, ulcers, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.1

Like many people, water is not the first drink that we want to reach for. It is refreshing on a hot day, but most often it is not what we are wanting, although it is what our bodies need to function properly. There are many free apps available to help us drink more water. Here are five popular apps:

Plant Nanny Available on Android
My Water – Daily Hydration Tracker Available on Android and IOS
Drink Water Reminder Available on Android and IOS
Aqualert Available on Android and IOS

Your body may be adjusting its heat response (“heat acclimation”).

Our bodies can acclimate or adjust how they respond to heat over repeated exposure, which can lead to “training” of sweat glands to produce more sweat.1 Heat acclimation, or getting used to heat, can improve fluid balance, which helps the body maintain cardiovascular stability during heat stress.2

Your sweat “fingerprint” is unique to you.

Your unique sweat genetics affect how much you sweat. Just like we all have a unique pattern of lines and ridges that create our fingerprints, every person has a different arrangement of sweat glands throughout their skin. This unique pattern creates your very own “sweat fingerprint.”

Your body has two primary types of sweat glands. Your sweat fingerprint is your own special combination of those types, plus the size, shape, location, and frequency of each varies from person to person. Your unique genetic sweat gland formatting affects the look, feel, amount, content, and even smell of your own sweat. The more sweat glands you have, the more you sweat.
