Sauna and Scrub Benefits
Often, the sauna and body scrub rituals at the Turkish bath help deeply cleanse the skin and promote circulation.
The high heat of the sauna opens pores, allowing the skilled attendants to exfoliate and remove layers of dead skin cells with a vigorous full-body scrub. This invigorating process leaves the skin feeling refreshed, soft, and radiant.
The sauna’s dry heat stimulates blood flow, while the scrub uses a coarse mitt or loofah to gently slough away impurities. This dual process purifies the skin, unclogs pores, and boosts the skin’s natural glow.
Guests emerge from the Turkish bath experience with a renewed sense of relaxation and a healthy, vibrant complexion.
