Saunas are awesome. It is very good for you if you use it properly.
The key word is moderation.
If you are new to it, sit on a bench row that is closer to the floor as it is a bit colder there than at the top rows. Once you get accustomed to it, you can move up a row.
Just don't spend overly prolonged periods in there at first and don't forget to bring a bottle of water, because dehydration is a risk (esp. after workout).
Visiting the sauna is discouraged if you suffer from a heart disease or high blood pressure.
You can find more detailed information here (read the "use" section and downwards): link

Because it makes you sweat a lot it cleans the pores in your skin. Donno if that means it reduces pimples or makes your skin look better. But at least it's something. The skin is not an important organ but it's the bodies largest one.
Also the heat puts some stress on your body in terms of heart beat and blood flow which is of course healthy.
Not important, eh? I would like to see how well you would do without it. . .
But yeah, it helps clean out the pores which is good.

Its good and cleans your system but I stil think that it is hard on your body. If you are a bit sick you will definently get worse by going in a sauna. But I guess you shouldnt work out either if you are a bit under the weather..
What? Every time i catch a cold I go the sauna (I have one in my house) and I feel much better because the snot starts flowing out like crazy, really good!
Once I was in the sauna for like fifteen-twenty minutes and it was pretty hot too (~ 80 celsius) and I felt a little dizzy after coming out, not much but I noticed it so you shouldn't stay in there for too long. It's also very relaxing and it just feels nice so why don't use it? :O

Remember what happened to Boxer, Tasteless 
October 12, 2002, at the Olympic Park Peace Square – that was the day when the new record was set for the most number of spectators at the time in the history of game tournaments. The players that entered the finals that day were Park Jungsuk Reach and I. One way or another, I thoroughly made the preparations. But the problem was on the day of the match. For days, I had not washed properly or slept soundly. With a desire to enter the day of the match with a refreshed feeling, I went to the bathhouse. I stayed at the saunas for a long time and sweat quite a lot. I thought that if I did that, my body would feel lighter. But the outcome was entirely the opposite.
As I entered the arena, the spectators had really gathered like the clouds. When I thought of the many people that were watching, I became a bit nervous but also had the desire to try even harder. But in contrast to that determination, my body gradually began to lag behind. My mind tightened with the tense atmosphere, but my body continued to wither. It seemed that going to the sauna was the cause. The muscles that had clumped together for the past few days had become loose in every direction, and it felt as if the fatigue had come all at once.
But the match started exactly at the appointed time. Whether it was because so much moisture had left the body, my eyes felt thick. While I am playing a game, I almost never blink. Because I cannot take my eyes off the computer screen for even a moment, I have to be careful of even the time I blink. During such a game where I had to concentrate this much, my eyes began to hurt as they became thick, and eventually tears continued to flow. Just staring at the monitor made them teary. Without even time to wipe my tears away, the game pressed on. Because of the tears, my ability to see the monitor screen decreased and I could not see well even right in front of me. One by one, the buildings were constructed at a late timing, and my control was inaccurate. Without being able to unfold a play that I wanted, defeat was as obvious as day. In the end, I was defeated 3:1.
Don't make the mistake Lim Yo Hwan did

If u plan on having babies soon then don't do it cuz it kills sperms like no other.
Aside from that it should be chill.

Be sure that you throw enough water. Sauna must be at least 120°C to get the best out of it^^

120 C will definitely burn, yes.
I think you have to be well hydrated before going in, since you might sweat a little too much and pass out or something. just to be safe.

well don't know about you but my blood doesn't freeze in -30°C either when I'm out in winters.. :/
At sauna world championship-competition they start from 110°C and they increases the temperature every 30seconds by throwing water on the stove. Last time final winner were close to 20minutes there if I remember correctly..

are you sure you're not confusing celsius with Fahrenheit?
|
we don't use Fahrenheits here 
|
120 C = 250ish F... wow
At the gym I go too, there are HUGE signs saying the sauna shouldn't go past 180 F. The hottest I could stand was 160-170ish F...
