A cold rinse between or after sauna sessions is part of the traditional Finnish bathing ritual — heat the body up, cool it off, repeat. We stock two purpose-built cedar outdoor showers ($335 and $1,098) plus a small range of body washes, foot creams, and skin-care from Rento that go with the after-sauna cool-down. The outdoor cedar shower paired with a backyard sauna is the closest most people get to the Finnish lakeside setup without buying lake frontage.
Why a cold rinse matters after a sauna
The heat-then-cold cycle does two things. First, it amplifies the cardiovascular effect: warm sauna dilates blood vessels, cold rinse constricts them, the repeated cycle works like exercise for the vascular system. Second, it feels remarkable — there's a specific euphoria from cooling down a body warmed to 195°F that traditional Finnish bathers have been chasing for centuries.
Lukewarm rinses don't trigger the same effect. The cold should be cold — under 60°F for the strong response, ideally outdoor-faucet cold or chilled-tap cold if you can't manage outdoor.
Cedar outdoor showers
Western Red Cedar Outdoor Shower ($1,098): a freestanding shower stall in clear-grade cedar, hand-crafted in Canada. Ships as a kit with cedar slat walls (privacy without solid panels — air dries faster), a wooden duckboard floor, and the plumbing connections for a standard shower head. You plumb to either a garden hose (cold only) or a hot-water line. Built for backyard installs next to a barrel sauna or pre-cut kit.
Cedar Sauna Shower ($335): smaller, simpler — a shower stand with cedar slats and a slip-on head. Works inside the sauna's cool-down room or outside on a deck. Easier install than the full enclosure.
Both: real cedar weathers gray within a year outdoors but stays structurally sound for 15-25 years with light annual oiling.
The skin-care companion: Rento body washes and foot creams
After a session the skin is warm, hydrated, and unusually receptive — sauna regulars in Finland use specific products for the cooling-off ritual. We carry Rento's:
- Body washes (Birch, Arctic Pine, Water Lily, 400ml, $23 each): mild scent, low foaming, designed for warm skin. Birch is the traditional choice.
- Foot creams and scrubs (Mint, 100-200ml, $13-15): foot care after standing on hot duckboards.
- Hair shampoos: sauna-adapted formulas without heavy fragrance that mixes badly with the room's cedar scent.
The body wash range is the most popular — even buyers who skip everything else end up buying the birch body wash because the scent matches the sauna interior.
Installation: outdoor cedar shower placement
Put the shower close enough to the sauna door that you don't get cold walking between them — 10 feet is typical, less if your climate is mild, more if you want privacy. Pad: pea gravel or a small concrete slab beneath, the cedar duckboards above. Drainage: gravel allows natural seepage; a concrete pad needs a sloped surface and a drain.
Plumbing: cold-water line from an outdoor faucet works in most climates. In freezing climates, plumb on a frost-free hydrant or shut off and drain in winter. Hot water is optional and rarely used by serious sauna bathers — the cold contrast is the point.
What to wear (or not) for the cool-down
Traditionally: nothing, in private setups. With shared use: bathing suit or wrap. The Rento Kenno Bathrobe (see sauna apparel) is heat-resistant cotton designed for moving between sauna and cooling area; it's the one accessory most owners regret not buying first.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a cold shower after every sauna session?
Not strictly. Many regulars take warm rinses instead, especially for muscle soak. But the heat-cold cycle delivers the most studied benefits — cardiovascular conditioning, mood elevation, improved circulation. A few cold rinses interspersed with warm is the practical middle ground.
How cold does the rinse need to be?
Under 60°F for the strong vasoconstriction response. Tap water in winter often runs 45-55°F naturally and works well. Adding ice for an ice bath after sauna is a separate practice — colder, more intense, more polarizing.
Can I use a regular outdoor shower for sauna use?
You can — but most non-cedar outdoor showers use galvanized or coated metal that corrodes quickly with frequent use, especially if you add scented body washes. Cedar handles repeated wet-dry cycling and resists rot without sealants that might off-gas.
Do I need hot water plumbed to the outdoor shower?
Optional. Pure-cold setups are more common and traditional. Hot water adds plumbing cost and most owners use it only in winter for the first few rinses, then switch to cold once warmed back up.
Will the cedar shower freeze in winter?
The wood handles freezing fine. The plumbing does not — install a frost-free hydrant or close the water valve and drain the line in winter if you're in a freezing climate.
