It's important that you first warm up your body to avoid heat shock during the first sauna session. This can be done by a warm footbath. 

• Sauna 8-12 min.

Plunge into a cold plunge pool 10°C

Why cooling is so important:
Bad cooling will keep you sweating for a long time and there is a good chance that you will get a headache the same evening or the day after. 
If you finish with a warm shower, your pores open up again and your body gets ready for a sauna session.
