18. Can I use your facilities if I am pregnant?
Look we don’t profess to be a health professional, so always best to check with your doctor.
But generally speaking:
19. How do I prepare for my Infrared Sauna session?
20. What’s all the fuss about infrared saunas?
Picture this: you step into a cozy chamber, ready to transport you to a realm of warmth and relaxation. But hold on, this is no ordinary sauna. It’s an infrared sauna!
Instead of relying on traditional heating methods, it harnesses the power of radiant heat. Yep, that’s right. Infrared saunas use special lamps or panels that emit invisible rays of heat, which penetrate deep into your skin like a superhero on a mission, penetrating deep into your tissues and muscles, increasing oxygen flow, and circulation plus producing detoxifying sweat.
And the best part?
These magical saunas operate at lower temperatures, so it’s like enjoying a cozy sauna session without feeling like you’re sizzling on a grill. So, if you’re looking for a oh-so-warm way to relax and recover, hop into an infrared sauna and let those invisible rays work their magic!
21. What’s the difference between traditional vs infrared saunas?
Ah, the battle of the saunas! Traditional saunas and infrared saunas may both make you sweat like a waterfall, but they have some differences that make each of them unique.
Traditional saunas use heated rocks or steam to warm the air, while infrared saunas use light to radiant heat directly into your skin, deep into your tissues and muscles, increasing oxygen flow & circulation, whilst sweating out toxins.
Traditional saunas have higher temperatures (80-100 degrees) and humidity (making it tricky to breathe), while infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures (45-65 degrees) and drier air (so no wheezing).
Traditional saunas make you sweat by heating the air, while infrared saunas promote deep sweat from within.
Traditional saunas have a cozy, rustic feel, while infrared saunas have a modern, sleek ambiance.
Traditional saunas take longer to heat up, while infrared saunas heat up faster.
22. What is the ideal temperature for Infrared Sauna?
23. How many people can attend an infrared sauna session?
At Soulhub we have the best of the best Clearlight Jacuzzi infrared saunas.
We have two large infrared pilates saunas that can comfortably fit up to 3 people.
To bring additional guests to your IR Sauna booking, simply pay the following at Soulhub reception on arrival –
$10 extra per person for 30-minute sauna
$15 extra per person for 50-minute sauna
Don’t forget your swimmers and towels (one to sit on and one to wipe excess sweat).
Nothing beats some quality time with your bestie in our Soul Sweat Session.
24. What do I need to bring for a infrared sauna session?
The main things to bring are your swimmers and towels (one to sit on and one to wipe away excess sweat).
Perhaps bring a book or your bestie of course.
We provide water: still or sparkling.
We also have the option to watch Netflix or listen to your favourite tunes or podcast.
We also have luxe showers with shampoo and conditioner if you want to refreshen up after your sweat.
25. Is Infrared Sauna heat Safe?
26. How long will my spray tan last for?
The longevity of our Sunless Tan depends on the skin’s natural exfoliation process, and on the skin regimen followed before and after application.
On average, our sunless tan will last 7 to 10 days.
Best bit, if you love our Sprays (which you will), you can sign up to our weekly Tan-O-Holic Membership. Get your Glow on for less!
27. What do I need to do to prepare for a Spray Tan?
Preparing your skin for your spray:
The day or two before your appointment – Shave & exfoliate your skin, esp any dry areas
On the day of the spray tan appointment avoid applying moisturisers as they can create a barrier on your skin
Ideally bring dark, loose-fitting clothes to wear after spray and if raining bring umbrella and closed shoes
The longer you leave the tan before showering, the darker the result, pat your skin dry
Tan will keep developing for 18-24 hours
Avoid Chlorinated Pools for 18 hours
Keep moisturising skin to maintain your tan
28. What tanning solution is best for me?
Our solutions are made from natural and organically derived ingredients for an odourless and streak-free tan.
We have two colours to choose from
FRESHIE FAVE: Our most popular solution. Suitable for all skin types, warm brown undertones. Rinse off after 5-8 hours
CURLY RAPID: Another very popular solution that is great for more olive skin tones. Violet and chocolate brown undertones. Rinse off after 2-4 hours
Actually, we find both shades look great on most skin types!
Come try Soulhub’s Automated Spray tan by downloading the Soulhub App, setting up a profile and buying the FIRST SPRAY TAN FOR $29, only available on our Soulhub App or website.
29. What is the downtime after an LED light therapy session?
ZERO!
This is what we absolutely love about LED light therapy.
There is absolutely zero discomfort, in fact, the experience feels amazing. Plus, there is zero downtime. You actually will be glowing when you leave the session. LED light therapy is the perfect serotonin boost for when you feeling a little tired or your skin is feeling a little dull. If you want to experience the longer-term skin rejuvenation benefits of LED, it is recommended that you undertake 6-8 sessions within a period of a few months.
30. Do you have shower facilities?
We sure do. We have fully kitted out bathroom and shower facilities. They are very luxe.
We provide shampoo, conditioner and all sorts of fancy schmancy products for your hair and face serums. We also have a hair dryer should you need it.
Just be sure to bring your own towel.
31. I live interstate, is there is any online membership option?
This is something we will be working towards, for sure. If you are visiting Freshie, you have a flexibility to drop in or buy a pack and use it when it suits you.
