After a session in the sauna, is it better for your skin to cleanse with cold water, ice or cold air?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold water: After a sauna session, you want to cleanse your skin of any chemical in the water. This is best done with water. The exact temperature of the water is not important. To keep moisture in your skin, it it best to use a good lotion after going in a sauna.
