Cold Bath for Greater Heat Loss

Use a cold bath rather than a shower when you want more effective cooling, since the water surrounds more of your body. Once in the bath, keep movement to a minimum so a boundary layer can form around the skin, which slows heat loss; stirring the water breaks that layer and increases cooling.

I would say cold shower is probably doing very little... So maybe you could try a cold bath and so you'd at least get some surface area coverage.
