Phoebe, 31, told fans that she was after some 'self love' and is now 'a sauna fan' as she shared a sizzling selfie following an infrared sauna session.

The mother of two went topless, using just a towel to protect her modesty, and beamed for the camera, showing off a sweaty yet glowing complexion. 

Phoebe is now a member of the 'sweaty brigade' with fashion designer Pip Edwards, 41, often taking to Instagram to post one of her many sizzling infrared sauna selfies.

Pip is known to show off her enviably toned physique in revealing swimsuits while luxuriating inside a cedarwood sauna in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

An infrared sauna is different to your standard sauna as it warms the body directly using heat and light technology, as opposed to heating up the area around you. 

Some of the benefits include muscle relaxation, increased creativity, hangover relief, skin purification, improved digestion, increased circulation and a boosted immunity.  

Pip's on-off beau Michael Clarke, 40, is also a fan, having previously shared a shirtless selfie to Instagram while recovering in an infrared sauna after an intense workout session. 

'And recover!!!' he wrote over the black and white photo.

Also using infrared saunas as a post-gym recovery is model Megan Blake Irwin, 27.

In an Instagram Story post in June, the beauty teased her abs in a skimpy black crop top as she sweated it out in a sauna after a gruelling workout.

Megan panned the camera to reveal a glimpse of her toned tummy in the racy top and shot a sultry gaze at the camera.

Fellow model Kelly Gale, 26, is also known to sweat it out in the sauna.

She was previously seen posing topless, also drawing attention to her washboard stomach in skimpy tan bikini bottoms. 

'Got my sauna outfit on,' Kelly cheekily captioned the clip.

Meanwhile former beauty pageant queen Rachael Finch, 33, took things a step further when she splurged on a $12,000 custom-built infrared sauna back in 2019.

In an Instagram post in May last year, the mother of two described it as one of the 'best investments' she's ever made for her health.

Rachael, who is also the founder of health and fitness program Body by Finch, explained she has regular 20-minute sessions in the sauna to 'eliminate heavy metals and harmful toxins' from her body. 

Infrared saunas are usually used by athletes to speed recovery time and Rachael said she immediately notices a difference following a workout.

'I sleep better. I feel better (and) I'm a better wife,' Rachael, who is married to her former Dancing With The Stars partner, Michael Miziner, said.

Another celebrity with the cash to splash is supermodel Elle Macpherson, 57, who often makes use of a portable infrared sauna, that looks more like a sumo wrestler suit.

A previous Instagram post captioned 'sauna time' saw Elle slipping her slender frame into a padded white sauna with infrared light panels. 

The mother of two went on to list numerous health benefits in her caption, including the elimination of toxins from the body and 'stimulating lymphatic drainage'.

According to Therasage's website, the $1,400 (AUD) sauna 'enhances cell energy and blood circulation, relieves pain and burns calories'.
