- After a few minutes of massage, pellets or exfoliated particles form on the surface of the skin. They need to be washed off with water, and the body should be smeared with cream.
Turkish glove used exclusively on clean skin... If you need to provide gentle exfoliation, do not wet the mitten, it is enough to moisturize the epidermis. This is especially important for skin that is not yet accustomed to this procedure.
In classic Turkish use gloves are pre-soaked or kept briefly under running water. The specificity of the kese mitt is such that as it gets wet, the fibers become tougher, as a result, the intensity of the effect on the skin increases. It is important to control the strength of the pressure. They start with light movements, gradually strengthening them. If a feeling of discomfort or pain appears, the effect should be weakened.
Massage with special care in areas where the skin is thinner and more tender.... For example, on the inner thighs, in the neckline.
When using gloves, it is unacceptable to imitate movements similar to those performed when applying scrubs. You cannot act sweepingly and intensively.
Excessive pressure on the mitten is fraught with damage to the epidermis.
In areas where the skin is coarser, you can increase the effect. At the end of the procedure, remove excess moisture with a towel.
This accessory not intended for daily use. Once a week is enough. After each procedure, the glove must be washed and dried. It is prohibited to process it with chemicals and to wash it in a typewriter. Store the massage glove in a clean, dry place.
Even with proper care, it is undesirable to use the same accessory for more than six months (with rare use, the period increases). It is undesirable for several people to use the same glove. If the material has become too soft, and the effect of using the mitten has diminished, it must be replaced.
Kese perfectly replaces scrubs. Combined use of mittens and exfoliating agents is excluded. If the procedure is performed on the face, at the end of the procedure, first apply a mask, and then a cream.
Cosmetics will have the maximum effect when interacting with cleansed, steamed skin.
