Everything you need to create a vegan home spa oasis
Sunlighten
1 Sunlighten Infrared Sauna
Unlike a traditional sauna, which heats up the air, an infrared sauna uses light waves to heat your body, without warming up the air around you. That said, this kind of sauna will still make you feel like you’ve had a good, thorough, and (most importantly) calming experience—it just comes without the same level of intensity. And, if you love the idea of calming relaxation on tap and regular at-home spa days, the best part is you can easily get an infrared sauna installed in your own home.
Sunlighten’s saunas are made with eco-friendly, non-toxic, solid wood, and operate using the brand’s own patented SoloCarbon heating technology. According to many wellness industry experts, they may help to reduce cortisol, which is the stress hormone, as well as inflammation. But across the board, they should leave everyone feeling destressed, refreshed, and restored.
