I’m going to up my sauna from 160 to 170 … any advice?
I find sometimes I get red irritated skin at 160 when I pour water on the rocks.
(When I set it to 160 and then throw the water on, the temp inside goes up to 180)

How long do you spend in there? 170 doesn’t seem very hot.
in for 10-15 min, out for 5 (cold water shower with the hose or jump in pool), 3 times.
So about 45 min split up in 3 sessions
I do around 180-200 for 20 min. Ears burn
What feels good to you. Some start at 140 some do it up to 250. I prefer 160-180 - Granted the meters are in Celsius here. Your skin should soften & old skin "wash away" mine reddens if I scratch it too much 🚫
