A Korean body scrub, also known as “seshin”, is a traditional exfoliation treatment that’s commonly performed in Korean bathhouses (known as jjimjilbangs). It’s a vigorous and effective method to deeply cleanse the skin by removing dead skin cells, leaving the body feeling fresh and rejuvenated.
Key Aspects of a Korean Body Scrub:
-
Preparation: Before the scrub begins, it’s preferable if you l soak in hot water for a minimum of 15–30 minutes. This helps to soften the skin and open the pores, making the exfoliation process more effective. As part of this treatment you will have access to the Hilton Hotel amenities including a steam room, sauna, hot tub, pool and exercise area for the entire day (Don’t forget your swim suit).

Exfoliation Process:
- The therapist uses a textured glove called a “Korean Italy towel” to rub the entire body.
- The scrubbing is firm, sometimes vigorous, to slough off layers of dead skin. Our 71 year old owner swears by this scrub as the best ever way to make your skin smooth and soft – even for wise old crones! 🙂

Benefits:
- Deep exfoliation: This is much more intense than a regular body scrub. It removes built-up layers of dead skin cells, promoting smoother, softer, brighter skin.
- Improved circulation: The vigorous scrubbing increases blood circulation which is beneficial in many ways
- Unclogs pores: This process helps clean out impurities and oils, potentially improving skin clarity.
- Rejuvenation: After the scrub, the skin feels incredibly soft and smooth, and the body feels refreshed and energized.
- Frequency: A Korean body scrub is usually done once every few weeks, depending on personal preference and skin sensitivity. The “Korean Italy Towel” is yours to take home, so you can continue to keep your skin smooth and soft. We recommend that you schedule a Korean Body Scrub with Healing Touch Spa every month during the winter months and every other month during the summer. Having access to the steam room and sauna (included in our service) enhances the scrub by opening your pores and preparing your skin for maximum benefit.
