At Çukurcuma Hamamı, relaxation goes beyond just unwinding—it’s a journey of rejuvenation through time-honored rituals. The heart of this experience lies in the traditional “kese”, the traditional body scrubbing, a vital part of the Turkish bath that helps cleanse and refresh both body and mind.
The Kese Ritual: A Time-Honored Tradition
The kese ritual, an essential element of the hamam experience, involves deep exfoliation that removes dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and leaves the skin feeling soft and renewed. At Çukurcuma Hamamı, we use a unique kese – exfoliating bath glove – made from tree bark thread, known for its perfect balance of effectiveness and gentleness. This medium-strength bath glove helps slough away impurities without irritating the skin, making it suitable for all skin types. The natural materials ensure a gentle yet thorough cleanse, enhancing your overall hamam experience.
Exfoliation for the Body and Soul
The ritual is more than just skin deep—it’s about reconnecting with yourself and letting go of the stresses of daily life. The rhythmic movements of the traditional scrubbing massage not only cleanse but also relax your muscles, creating a sense of harmony and tranquility. The carefully crafted bath glow used at Çukurcuma Hamamı enhances this ritual, offering the perfect combination of tradition and comfort. As you lie on the warm marble, feeling the gentle yet effective exfoliation, you are transported to a realm of pure relaxation.
