After the sauna-bathing
- After the sauna, dry yourself and take a slow, at least 15 minutes rest. Have a refreshing drink to quench the thirst and to restore the body’s fluid balance. Avoid any strong alcohol drinks or overeating. The Finns usually enjoy low-strength beer, nice and cold, and makkara (a type of Finnish sausage). Have a salty snack according to your personal taste.
- After leaving the sauna there should be no hurry anywhere. You should rather enjoy the blissful feeling of “being re-created”. Only dress after you have stopped perspiring and taking enough of rest.
- Before dressing up, you should allow enough time for cooling off, otherwise the sweating may still continue!
