Do not apply lotion or soap before you use the mitt. Your skin must not be slippery. Use the mitt before you wash your hair and body. Exfoliating should be your first step in the shower since haircare products and soaps leave a film on the skin.
If you have time, soak yourself under warm water for a couple of minutes to open your pores and prep your skin for exfoliation. We recommend only using the kessa on your body since it may be too harsh on your face. Before you use the mitt, dampen it under warm water, wear it on your hand like a glove and start applying it on your damp skin. Turn off the shower, to save water. (also your kessa does not apply well under flowing water)
Use circular motions and start gently. You will visibly see the results after a few strokes! Expect to see some dead skin! More pressure means more exfoliation. if you are a beginner, start gently. In time, you may try building up the pressure to get a deeper exfoliation.
After exfoliation, wash your body using a moisturizing soap (we recommend all natural Shibumi soap) and follow up with a body lotion (important after exfoliation!).
You can anticipate that your skin will be slightly irritated after the kessa application. Please make sure to be gentle the first few times, and always moisturize afterwards. You may start to build up the force of your exfoliating over time.
You can repeat this process every 2 weeks or so.
