If you want to get the maximum sauna experience when using a dry sauna, you should sauna like the Swedes do. Here are the steps you should take to sauna like a Swede, and ensure your Swedish sauna is the most beneficial and pleasant experience:

• Shower first to make sure the sauna stays clean
• Take a small towel into the sauna with you to sit on
• Sit on the upper bench (if there is one), as that's the preferred seat
• Put water on the bench to keep your rear end from burning
• Just relax during the first few minutes of your sauna, which allows the dry heat to open your pores and fill your body
• Afterwards, take another shower if you want to cool down
