TRADITIONAL TURKISH BATH FOAM MASSAGE & PEELING (KESE)

A Turkish hammam peeling, or “kese,” is a traditional exfoliation process performed in a Turkish bath, or hammam. This treatment is known for its ability to deeply cleanse the skin, improve circulation, and leave the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

What Happens During a Turkish Hammam Peeling:

  1. Preparation: The hammam experience begins with a relaxation phase in a hot, steamy room, which allows the pores to open and the skin to soften. This is crucial for effective peeling.
  2. Exfoliation with Kese Mitt: The main component of the peeling is the use of a kese, a coarse mitt made of natural fibers like silk or goat hair. A therapist or attendant vigorously rubs the kese over the entire body. This action removes dead skin cells, dirt, and impurities that have accumulated on the skin’s surface.
  3. Soap and Massage: After the peeling, a foam massage is often performed using a special olive oil soap or other natural soaps. The foam is created with a cloth or pillowcase-like bag that is filled with soapy water and then squeezed to release bubbles over the body. This step further cleanses the skin while providing a soothing and relaxing massage.
  4. Rinse and Hydrate: After the exfoliation and soap massage, the body is rinsed thoroughly with warm water. Some treatments may also include a cool rinse to close the pores. To conclude the experience, hydrating lotions or oils may be applied to moisturize the skin.

Benefits of Turkish Hammam Peeling:

  • Deep Cleansing: The exfoliation removes dead skin cells, excess oil, and impurities from the skin.
  • Improved Circulation: The rubbing action promotes blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can help reduce puffiness and improve overall skin tone.
  • Relaxation: The entire experience is deeply relaxing and can help reduce stress and muscle tension.
  • Skin Rejuvenation: Regular peeling can leave the skin looking brighter, smoother, and more youthful.

Tips for Enjoying a Turkish Hammam Peeling:

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before and after the treatment to stay hydrated, as the heat and steam can cause you to sweat heavily.
  • Communicate with the Attendant: Let the attendant know your comfort level with the intensity of the exfoliation.
  • Aftercare: After the peeling, it’s best to avoid harsh products and direct sun exposure for a day or two, as the skin will be more sensitive.
