    Keeps the skin cleansed and oil free (which cuts down spots / acne)

    If you stay in a sauna you will sweat ya arse off, therefore loosing water weight.

    Also increasing ya core body temp can speed up metabolism slightly, so you burn more cal even in rest.

    Well cut down sodium intake if ya got bloating.

    Sodium will make you retain water, low sodium and plenty of water actually flush's ya system and helps avoid bloat.

    the damp environment can make it a possible growing place for germs and bacteria, but if they bleach it regularly then it shouldn't be a problem
