There isn’t the only right way to take a sauna. The most important thing is to be in a nice company, so that you may get pleasure from it. As a rule, people go to sauna naked, however, you may put on a bathing suit or towel if it is more comfortable for you.

Read about the regular “procedure” of taking sauna; once you have tried it, you may change it as you will like.
• Begin with taking a shower. That will aid to preserve the hot room pure.
•  Come into the sauna and sit down on the upper bench. It is recommended to use a little towel to be seated on.
• Sit for several minutes in order to let the heat penetrate into your body and open the skin pores.
• You can add the air humidity by dropping some water on the stones of the heater. This will create more steam in the room.
• Then go into the change room to chill down, and then you may take a shower again.
• You can return to the hot room several times, relaxing and getting pleasure from the warmth.
• Finally take a shower to purify yourself from the sweat.
• Prior to putting on your clothes, let your body dry out properly.
• After the sauna you should better have a little rest and a drink.

To feel the most of the sauna, you will require:
• No less than half an hour, if possible more, so that you have plenty of time to relax.
• A huge towel to wipe yourself.

The other things to take into consideration:
• A little towel to be seated on;
• A moisturizing milk for after the sauna;
• A bathrobe to have on when chilling down.

The usual temperatures in the sauna range from 60°C to 100°C. The air may be comparatively arid or water may be dropped on the stones to raise moisture. The air should not be absolutely dry, as it might be dangerous to the respiratory system. Pouring water over the benches has a chilling effect, for the reason that evaporating water will draw the heat out of the air.

A chill, uplifting shower after or during the sauna concludes the relaxation. A lot of Finns have saunas at their homes near the lakes and a sauna is not finished without an energizing swim. In winter, “sauna addicts” even make holes in the ice and dive into the cold water.
