And the heat also make your muscles help recovering a lot faster (getting rid of the lactic acid).

Don't stay in there for more than 10-15 mins and take a cold shower rigth afterwards.

No the sauna doesn't help loosing weight but only water. It's also the steam room and NOT the sauna who helps improve skin quality. Good point SRZrasoul thou.
