Tips & Best Practices / Pre-Float
Waxing
⦁ For women, avoid waxing at least 10-12 hours before Floating. You might feel discomfort when the salt comes into contact with sensitive skin.
⦁ For men, avoid shaving at least 5-8 hours before Floating. Any cuts will distract you because of the high concentration of Epsom salt.
Hair dyeing
⦁ Please wait at least a week to float with freshly colored hair. The shower water must run clear as the color could stain the tank
Food and hydration
⦁ It is best to have a easily digestible meal 1-2 hours before Floating. If you overeat, you will feel full and the digestive system comes into action, which will distract you from relaxing.
⦁ Adequate hydration enhances the experience of floating, relaxes the mind and increases the ability of relaxation and awareness.
Caffeine/Cigarettes
⦁ Try to avoid, as much as possible, caffeine and tobacco before Floating because they stimulate the body, especially the heart.
⦁ The goal of Floating is to relax, detoxify and slow down your pace.
