Traditional Kese Exfoliating Mitt

Long before body scrubs filled bathroom shelves, the hammam relied on something simpler: warm water, steam and the textured weave of a kese.

Designed for deep physical exfoliation, this traditional Turkish bath mitt helps remove dead skin and surface buildup without the need for a separate scrub. Its textured fabric works across the body to reveal smoother, softer-feeling skin and prepare it for oils and moisturizers.

Use it slowly, once the skin has softened under warm water. A simple ritual rooted in Turkish bathing tradition — practical, tactile and made to be used again and again.

• Gently lifts away dead skin and surface buildup
• Leaves skin feeling smoother and softer
• Provides effective physical exfoliation without a body scrub
• Helps prepare skin for body oils and moisturizers
• Reusable alternative to disposable exfoliating products
• Brings the traditional Turkish hammam ritual into the everyday bath

Soften the skin under warm water for 5–10 minutes. For the most traditional ritual, use after a warm bath or shower.

Wet the kese and squeeze out excess water. With the skin free from soap, move the mitt firmly but gently across the body using long strokes.

Rinse the skin, then follow with your preferred NoaPure body oil or moisturizer.

Rinse the kese thoroughly after use and allow it to air dry completely.

Designed for the body, especially areas where skin tends to feel rough or dry:

• Arms and legs
  
• Elbows and knees
  
• Shoulders and back
  
• Feet and heels
  

Avoid using the kese on the face or other delicate areas.

For external use only.

Do not use on the face, broken, irritated, sunburned or freshly shaved skin. Avoid excessive pressure or repeated scrubbing over the same area.

Use once or twice weekly, depending on your skin's needs. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

What is a Turkish kese?

A kese is a traditional exfoliating mitt used in Turkish hammam bathing rituals. Its textured surface helps lift away dead skin and buildup after the body has softened in warm water.

Do I use soap with the kese?

For deeper exfoliation, use the kese on softened, wet skin without soap. Rinse afterward and continue your bathing ritual as usual.

How often should I use a kese?

Once or twice a week is enough for most skin types. The goal is slow, effective exfoliation rather than aggressive daily scrubbing.

Can I use the kese on my face?

No. The texture is designed for body exfoliation and may be too strong for delicate facial skin.
