Crafted from rare, antique handwoven crêpe silk textiles and finished by hand with delicate needle-lace edging, this traditional exfoliating mitt helps lift away dull surface buildup and impurities—revealing skin that feels noticeably smoother, softer and refreshed.

How to Use Your Turkish Hammam Kese

1. Soften your skin under warm water for 5–10 minutes.

2. Wet the mitt and squeeze out excess water.

3. For best exfoliation, do not apply soap or body oil before using the kese.

4. Place your hand inside the untrimmed opening and massage damp skin using gentle, controlled strokes.

5. Concentrate on areas such as the arms, legs, elbows, knees and heels.

6. Rinse your skin, then continue with your preferred soap or body cleanser.

7. Finish with a moisturiser or body oil.

Use once or twice a week, depending on your skin’s needs. Apply only very light pressure on delicate areas. Avoid irritated, sunburned or broken skin.

Care Instructions

Rinse thoroughly after every use and hang from the loop to air-dry completely. Hand wash gently in cool or lukewarm water. Do not bleach, tumble dry or expose to high heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Turkish hammam kese?

A kese is a traditional Turkish exfoliating mitt used during the hammam bathing ritual. It helps remove dull surface buildup through gentle physical exfoliation.

What makes this kese different from an ordinary exfoliating glove?

This piece is made from handwoven crêpe silk rather than synthetic mesh or mass-produced terry fabric. Its distinctive texture, handmade stitching and antique textile origin make every mitt unique.

Can it be used on the face?

The mitt is primarily designed for the body. If your skin tolerates physical exfoliation, it may be used on the face with exceptionally light pressure while avoiding the eye area. Do not use it on sensitive, irritated or inflamed skin.

Should I use soap with the mitt?

For the traditional hammam method, soften the skin with warm water and use the damp mitt before applying soap. Soap and oil can reduce the friction needed for effective exfoliation.

Is every mitt identical?

No. Each piece is handmade from antique handwoven silk textiles. Natural differences in weave, tone, lacework and dimensions make every kese one of a kind.
