Perspiration usually starts in about eight minutes, during the very first sauna. After 10—20 minutes in the sauna, you take a quick shower. In the beginning, you will get warm and gradually get cooler. Then you repeat the sauna session. Perspiration breaks out very quickly the second time. After this, you take a cold shower and then relax for at least half an hour.
