The Exfoliating Scrub (kese) is a centuries-old Turkish hammam practice designed to purify the skin. A silk or coarse mitt, traditionally called kese, is used to remove dead skin cells and stimulate circulation. This is followed by the Foam Massage, where the body is covered with rich, warm bubbles created from olive oil soap. The foam gently caresses the skin, creating a soothing sensation while cleansing deeply.
This ritual is not just about hygiene – it is a holistic wellness experience that has been part of Ottoman and Turkish culture for hundreds of years. 🌿
