Kessa scrubbing glove / Louffa, loofah

The kessa glove is an essential ally for all those who want to enjoy hammam treatments at home. Used in traditional hammams, particularly in Morocco, it will naturally find its place in your bathroom.

The Kessa glove, the exfoliating glove

What is a kessa glove? It's a grainy, woven crepe glove that lets you enjoy all the benefits of the traditional hammam scrub at home. It's a bit like a loofah glove, but less aggressive than a horsehair glove, for example. How does it work? Thanks to its rough fibres, it removes impurities and dead skin all over the body: legs, chest, back, arms and even the face. It will become the ally of your showers and other traditional baths.

Formerly woven from goat's hair, most of the time it's made from synthetic or acrylic materials. No more need for shower gels, scrubs and other synthetic products, just one accessory will give you the perfect scrub: the kessa glove! Only a scrub will enable you to get rid of your dead skin and other impurities. Thanks to the kessa glove, your skin will regain its incomparable radiance and cleanliness.

How to use it

How do I use it? Ideally used in the shower or bath, to be most effective the kessa glove should be used after spending some time in contact with heat. But why? Because it's the heat, as in the Moroccan hammam, that will open up all the pores in your skin. So the kessa glove can cleanse your skin thoroughly.

Ideally combined with the use of black soap, or even better, ghassoul powder, as is done in Morocco in particular, or more widely in hammams, it will be perfect. At the end of your shower (don't forget to prepare for the heat), coat your whole body, including your face, with black soap or clay powder, and lightly dampen your glove. Rub all over, don't be afraid to rub! Rub all over your body in a circular motion. Rinse off with clean water and enjoy fresh, radiant skin.

Everyday use

While some people prefer the strength of the horsehair glove, with its hard, long fibres, others prefer the kessa glove, with its slightly less abrasive fibres. This is an ideal preliminary step, particularly for applying self-tanners, as it removes dead skin from the body and ensures even application, thus avoiding unsightly marks.

It's important to exfoliate the skin at least twice a month. Say goodbye to ingrown hairs, pimples and other dry legs. Say hello to soft, radiant skin. These inexpensive gloves can be kept dry after rinsing with clean water. Leave to dry thoroughly.
