Traditional exfoliation using
Black Soap

The black soap scrub is a deep exfoliating treatment rooted in oriental tradition. It uses a natural plant-based soap, made from black olives and eucalyptus oil, to prepare the skin for the removal of impurities and dead cells. This time-honoured ritual is known for its purifying, softening and detoxifying properties. It leaves the skin soft and radiant.

Do you dream of having soft skin all year long? Exfoliation makes this possible. It renders your skin smooth, balanced, and shiny.

What are the steps of our black soap scrub?

Your experience begins in the hammam, where the warm, humid air prepares and opens up the pores of your skin. Our therapist then applies the black soap generously all over your body. After a short pause, she carries out a vigorous scrub using a Kessa glove, gently removing dead skin. The ritual ends with a generous rinse and a drying-off with a Turkish foulard, for an unmatched feeling of cleanliness and lightness.

What are the benefits of the black soap scrub?

The black soap scrub offers many benefits: it cleanses the skin deeply, removes toxins and impurities, boosts blood circulation, encourages cell renewal and strengthens the skin's elasticity. Your skin becomes silky soft once more, glows, and is more receptive to moisturising treatments.

What's the difference between a black soap scrub and a classic scrub?

Unlike classic scrubs or chemical exfoliants, our black soap scrub takes a holistic, traditional approach. It doesn't just exfoliate the surface of the skin — it's part of a complete purification ritual, often preceded by a visit to the hammam. The combination of the Kessa glove and eucalyptus black soap, together with the expertise of our therapists, ensures a deep yet gentle scrub, with a sensory and relaxing dimension that's second to none and far beyond any surface treatment.
