Skin exfoliation is a universal beauty ritual practised for millennia. Egyptian women used fine desert sand mixed with oils to polish their skin. In Turkey, the traditional hammam has included the kese, a vigorous horsehair glove scrub, since the Middle Ages. In Japan, geishas exfoliated with rice bran to achieve a porcelain complexion. In thalassotherapy, the marine scrub has become a fundamental treatment, performed with ocean-sourced active ingredients: Dead Sea salts rich in twenty-one minerals, Breton sea salt crystals, sugars combined with seaweed, white sand from Bora Bora or ginger powder following various traditions. Performed under a fine marine rain in a thalassotherapy centre, the scrub prepares the skin for optimal absorption of subsequent treatments while providing an incomparable sensation of renewed skin.
