The main thing is getting the temperature of your shower right. You don’t need an ice bath.Try lukewarm shower. Why though? It’s simple: You sweat when your internal thermostat perceives the outside temperature as notably warmer than your body. If you spend five minutes freezing yourself, your body will register the locker room as being overly warm in comparison, and start sweating to cool you down. If your shower is at room temperature, you’ll sweat less when you step out. Patting dry with your towel rather than rubbing dry also helps you cool down, as it involves less friction.
