Generally, it's a term of affection. Like how humans kiss one another. It's also a way for them to mark their territory. Your cat's just telling you he loves you. No need to worry. Also, cats like the salty taste of your skin.

Sometimes my cat tries to clean me but gives up after a while. Then sometimes I think my cat thinks I must have food on my finger and that's why I'm sticking it in front of her so instead of immediantly chomping down she licks.

Grooming is a sign of friendship among cats.
Also, they have different standards of clean that humans do. To some of them, we stink! The only answer for some cats is to wash the filthy humans.

Usually, they are grooming you. It's a sign of affection. It comes from when they are little and their mothers lick them.
They may also be licking the salt off you. (salt being in your sweat)

To show affection. Cats lick each other to groom and take care of each other. If they do it to you its to show that they love you and are trying to take care of you.
Unless you have something on you that tastes yummy - our cats like to eat hair products out of our hair. Ick.

It's a sign of affection. Your kitty loves you so much it wants to clean you up. Also, I believe they like the salt that is naturally found on human skin. Take it as a compliment!

It's because they love you.
When I'm lying on the couch one of my cats likes to wash my hair with her tongue.
