No steam room? Try hot shower to cold shower to hot again.
I've been doing that ever since I was a kid. Back then, I imagined that I was tempering myself - making my body so that it didn't feel hot or cold. I could turn the hot water all the way on, or the cold all the way on and not be bothered. Now, I just do it out of habit.
