The fabric of the clothing your wear should allow air to easily pass through it. This prevents your body from becoming too warm and avoids excessive sweating. For instance, cotton or any active-wear type fabrics, such as nylon or polyester, frequently allow air and moisture to move through them. The added bonus of active-wear includes the ability to wick away sweat and dry quickly. In the end, the type of material you choose will come down to your personal preference and comfort but keep what we just talked about in mind and we are sure you will have a much more enjoyable sauna experience.

It is impossible for your clothing not to touch your skin. With this in mind, you do not want to wear anything too heavy or have any clothing weighted down against you. Wearing light clothing will prevent your pores from becoming blocked, contributing to potentially improved and rejuvenated skin, as well as prevent you from possibly overheating. Light clothing also makes it easy to remove your clothes after an infrared sauna session, which will come in handy for the inevitable shower afterwards. Also, some people find themselves removing shirts and other items of clothing in the middle of a session, so having something that is easy to take off will help.

When certain types of jewelry become overheated, they can cause skin burns, possibly damaging the tissue and leaving scars. Be sure to take off all of your jewelry before entering an infrared sauna; this includes electronic watches and/or fitness trackers. These devices can quickly become overheated, similar to if were to leave them out in the sun on a hot day. You will also find that you likely will be more comfortable without them, eliminating that gross feeling of sweat getting stuck between your skin and accessories.
