All Turkish women use them: what are kese mittens, which are massively bought in Russia

Our skin needs regular exfoliation, that’s a fact. But scrubs aren’t for everyone, and you don’t always want to clutter the bathroom with extra jars. Therefore, it is logical that alternative and at the same time proven methods of skin care are gaining popularity. For example, these very Turkish kese mittens.

Turkish women simply adore them and use them to peel both face and body. Of course, it is better to have mitts of different hardness in your arsenal, because the main purpose is not to damage the skin, but to gently exfoliate it.

A kese mitt (kesse, kessa) looks like a cloth bag with an elastic band or ties at the wrist. When dry, the kese is soft, but should be thoroughly wetted before use. Thus, the fabric will become denser and stiffer, and it can easily be used instead of a scrub.

The skin after such a procedure is incredibly soft and tender! And yet, such a peeling massage is considered quite difficult. Do not use it too often, otherwise you risk damaging the skin.

For maximum effect, take a warm bath or shower before the massage to loosen the stratum corneum of the skin.

There are also contraindications: the mitten cannot be used if you have ulcers on the body or face, dermatitis or acne in the acute stage. Kese can injure the skin and spread the infection throughout the body.
