Cleansing yourself first after a workout before you enter the sauna will open pores in the skin and enhance your stay while in the sauna. 3. Place a towel on the sauna bench. Not only is this good hygiene practice, but the wood on the bench will tend to get quite hot. 4. You can add humidity to the sauna by adding water to the rocks.

Remember, to stay in the sauna for as long as it is comfortable to you. You can always step out of the sauna to cool off and return. 6. Repeat step five as many times as you desire.

End the experience by enjoying a cool refreshing drink. This will help rehydrate your body after the sauna. Do not feel hurried to dress and leave. The sauna experience is meant to help you relax.
