The Kessa Exfoliating Glove

The Kessa glove is the traditional exfoliating tool of the hammam ritual. Its rough texture gently removes dead cells and impurities, leaving the skin softer and smoother. It suits all skin types.

This black glove has an elastic cuff and a loop for hanging. Espace Oriental, a brand founded in Montréal by two sisters, offers it alongside its skincare inspired by Eastern traditions.

Format: one glove, with elastic cuff and hanging loop.

How to use: first take a hot shower or bath. Wet the skin, then the glove, and rub in gentle but firm circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, pat the skin dry, then apply a moisturizing cream or oil. For a deeper exfoliation, first apply black soap to damp skin, leave it on for a few minutes and rinse before using the glove.

Storage: away from heat and light.

Precautions: external use only. Avoid the eye area and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Origin: offered by Espace Oriental, a brand founded in Montréal.
