Saunas

Big sauna especially has a nice beach for children to play during the hot summer days.

Remember that the small sauna is of more traditional type, without hot water from the tap. Mix the cold and hot water in the small wash basin before washing.

Do you know how to bathe in the sauna?

Start by taking a shower. This helps to keep the hot room clean.
It is a good idea to remove make up, if you are using any.
Enter the sauna, the hottest place is on the upper bench. Please sit on a towel, as this also helps to keep the hot room clean.
Sit and relax for few minutes, let the heat warm you thoroughly and open the pores of the skin.
Throwing the water on the hot stones on the stove makes the room feel hotter and also adjusts the air moisture.
When you feel hot enough, step outside. You can sit in the changing room or outside, or maybe you want to take another shower. Swimming in the lake feels good too.

You can repeat this as many times as you like.
Finally, shower to clean yourself from the sweat. Dry yourself and cool properly before clothing again. If you want to take good care of your skin, use some moisturizing lotion.

It is important to prevent dehydration, and it is a good idea to have something to drink with you. Finns like to drink something when sitting outside and cooling down, most commonly used drink is beer. But water is best for you, of course.

Remember that in the Räyskälä Sauna it is not allowed to take glass bottles in the hot room with you.
