How to Use the Kessa Glove the Right Way

How to Use the Kessa Glove the Right Way

If there’s one tool I can’t live without in my beauty routine, it’s the Kessa glove.

Growing up in Morocco, I watched women leave the hammam with skin that glowed like silk, and I always wondered their secret. It wasn’t just the black soap or the herbal scrubs — it was the Kessa glove, doing its quiet magic.

Even now, in Australia, when I slip on my Bellara Kessa Glove, I feel like I’ve stepped into a piece of my heritage, and my shower becomes a spa ritual.

A Hammam Ritual Passed Down Through Generations

The Kessa glove is a staple of Moroccan beauty rituals, used for centuries to:

  • Exfoliate the skin deeply but gently
  • Boost circulation for a natural glow
  • Prepare skin for oils and treatments

In traditional hammams, the ritual unfolds like this:

  1. Steam or warm water softens and opens the pores.
  2. Moroccan black soap is applied to loosen impurities.
  3. Kessa glove exfoliation removes dead skin in satisfying rolls.
  4. Skin is left smooth, soft, and ready for oils or masks.

I can still remember my first proper hammam experience — watching the dead skin roll away and seeing my arms look fresh and radiant. It felt like I had brand new skin.

Why Your Skin Needs a Kessa Glove

The Kessa glove is more than just an exfoliating mitt. It’s a skin-transforming tool that:

  1. Removes Dead Skin Effectively: You’ll see and feel the difference immediately.
  2. Boosts Circulation: Gentle scrubbing stimulates blood flow, leaving a natural rosy glow.
  3. Preps Skin for Hydration: Oils and creams absorb better, maximizing your skincare.
  4. Improves Skin Texture Over Time: Regular use can reduce ingrown hairs and smooth rough areas.

Australia Tip: The Kessa glove is a summer essential if you self-tan, because it creates a smooth base and helps old tan fade evenly.

How to Use the Kessa Glove for Maximum Glow

The Kessa ritual is simple but powerful. Here’s how I do it at home to replicate a Moroccan hammam:

1. Prep Your Skin

  • Take a warm shower or bath for at least 5 minutes to soften the skin.
  • For best results, apply Bellara Moroccan Black Soap and leave for 3–5 minutes.

2. Slip On the Kessa Glove

  • Rinse off the black soap lightly.
  • Put on your Bellara Kessa Glove, damp but not dripping wet.

3. Exfoliate in Long Motions

  • Scrub in long, upward strokes or circular motions.
  • Focus on arms, legs, back, and rough areas like elbows and knees.
  • You’ll see dead skin roll away — satisfying and effective!

4. Rinse and Nourish

  • Rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry.
  • Finish with Bellara Argan Oil or Prickly Pear Seed Oil to lock in moisture and glow.

Glow Tip: On my YouTube channel, I demonstrate how I combine the Kessa glove with black soap and Nila scrub for a full Moroccan spa experience at home.

From Moroccan Hammam to Your Australian Home

The beauty of the Kessa glove is how it fits into modern routines.

In Morocco, women use it weekly in hammams to refresh and renew their skin.
In Australia, it becomes your personal glow secret for:

  • Weekend self-care sessions
  • Pre-event or pre-tan prep
  • Seasonal skin renewal (after summer or winter dryness)

Even a 10-minute ritual with the Kessa glove transforms your skin and your mood.

Why Bellara’s Kessa Glove is the Best Choice

Not all exfoliating gloves are the same. Many store-bought mitts are too rough, too thin, or synthetic, leaving skin irritated instead of radiant.

Here’s why Bellara’s Kessa Glove stands out:

  • Authentic Moroccan design for effective exfoliation
  • Durable, high-quality fabric that lasts longer than cheap mitts
  • Gentle on skin yet highly effective
  • Perfectly pairs with Bellara Black Soap and scrubs

With Bellara’s glove, you get the real hammam results without leaving your home.

Reveal the Glow Moroccan Women Have Trusted for Centuries

Every time I use my Kessa glove, I feel like I’ve shed the week’s stress along with dead skin. My arms and legs feel buttery soft, and my oils absorb like a dream.

Shop Bellara’s Authentic Kessa Glove and turn your shower into a Moroccan spa ritual.

Pro Tip: Pair it with Bellara Black Soap and Tbrima Herbal Scrub for a complete hammam experience, and finish with Prickly Pear Seed Oil for long-lasting hydration and radiance.
