From the sauna village
How to use the sauna properly,
in short.
The Finnish tradition in four steps. That is how a sauna session has the greatest effect.
Warm shower, dry off
Take a lukewarm shower and dry off well: dry skin sweats more quickly. Remove metal jewellery beforehand.
8 to 15 minutes of heat
Sit or lie on your towel, on the lower bench the first time. Better a shorter session that stays comfortable.
Cool down
Always cold, never warm, and starting away from the heart: first the legs, then arms, torso, and the back last.
Rest and drink
Bathrobe on, feet up, a herbal tea or water. Only then the second round; two to three are usual.
Two towels are enough: one for the bench, one for drying off. A wellness bag with towels is in the room for hotel guests.
