How it works

Four steps, once a week

  1. Soak in a warm shower or bath for 5 to 10 minutes. Skip the soap for now.
  2. Wet the mitt, then wring it out so it's damp, not dripping.
  3. Step out of the water and rub in long, firm strokes. Go gently on sensitive areas.
  4. Rinse off, pat dry and moisturize.

Don't use on broken, sunburned or irritated skin.

Questions

Good to know

What is a kese?

A kese is the woven mitt used for the body scrub in a Turkish hammam. The attendant who does the scrub is called a tellak, which is where our name comes from.

Do I need soap or a scrub with it?

No. The mitt works by friction on soft, damp skin, and soap or oil makes it slide. Wash and moisturize afterwards.

How often should I use it?

Once a week is plenty for most people. Don't use it on broken, sunburned or irritated skin.

How do I look after it?

Rinse it well with clean water after each use, wring it out and hang it to dry.

How long does shipping take?

Orders ship from a US warehouse in 1 to 2 business days. Standard shipping takes 7 to 10 business days and costs $8.99, free on orders over $80. Express shipping takes 3 to 5 business days and costs $19.99.

Can I return it?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery if the mitt is unused and in its original packaging. If it arrives damaged, we replace it at no cost to you.
