They are usually used for skin therapy, relaxation, and in some cases weight lose. The steam produces moisture in the air and it helps your skin by absorbing that moisture and making your skin healthier and less prone to dry skin breakouts. It also can be very relaxing since you are in a warm area which usually makes people feel all warm and cosy inside as well. And it also helps some people to lose weight by making you sweat away the weight. So yes saunas are very good for your skin as well as your body and mind.

Saunas are warm and moist places where people go to sweat and let the toxins and the grease slide off their bodies.
You've noticed how your hair gets greasy when you don't wash it? That grease is body fat that you excreted through pores in your skin. Your sweat will be more greasy if you eat fatty foods, and it will become greasier if you do anything that causes muscles all over your body to contract. (Sex does that, for example, if it's good.)
Saunas bring out the grease to where you can shower & towel it away. By reducing the load of grease primed to come out, you clear the grease channels for more of your fat to ooze forth later. If you do it enough, it might help bring your weight down.
Of course, saunas can't replace exercise or a sensible diet. But they can give you a bit of extra edge to a healthy lifestyle.

Saunas make you sweat which opens your pores and clears out impurities in your skin. The heat is also supposed to make you relax, which is good for your entire body.

they make you sweat which helps you to lose unwanted water gain. Also its a great therapy for DETOXING addicts because everything comes out of your sweat.
