Tips for gentle exfoliation
- Sensitive skin: go gently and stop if you feel any discomfort.
- Avoid irritated or damaged areas and the eye contour.
- Start once a week, then adjust to your skin.
- No rolls of dead skin? That’s normal: don’t scrub harder.
Prepare your skin
Take a warm shower to moisten and prepare your skin.
Apply the black soap
On wet skin, spread a small amount of soap with the palm of your hand. Its paste-like texture and light lather are completely normal.
Leave on 3–5 min
Let the soap sit on your skin for 3 to 5 minutes.
Rinse off the soap completely
Carefully rinse off all of the soap before you pick up the glove.
Never exfoliate over the soap.
Exfoliate with the Kessa glove
Soak the glove in water for a good while, then squeeze it out. On damp skin, use light back-and-forth strokes without pressing too hard.
Rinse and dry
Rinse your skin, then pat it dry gently.
Finish with argan oil
Gently massage a few drops of argan oil into your skin to moisturize it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How often should I do the ritual?
Start once a week, then adjust the frequency to your skin’s needs and sensitivity. If your skin becomes irritated, leave more time between sessions.
Do I need to use the Kessa glove every time I use the black soap?
No. You can use the soap on its own and save the glove for your exfoliation sessions.
Why don’t I see rolls of dead skin when I exfoliate?
It varies from person to person and from one session to the next. Not seeing them doesn’t mean the ritual isn’t working. Don’t scrub harder to make them appear.
Should I wet the glove before using it?
Yes. Soak the glove in water for a good while, then squeeze it out. Always use it damp, on damp skin.
Should I use the glove over the black soap?
No. Rinse off the soap completely before using the glove. Never exfoliate over the soap.
Can I use the glove if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, with light back-and-forth strokes and without pressing too hard. Stop if you feel any discomfort, and avoid irritated or damaged skin.
How do I care for my glove after use?
Rinse it, wash it with a mild soap and hang it to dry. Do not put it in the washing machine or the dryer.
How do I finish my ritual with argan oil?
After rinsing and gently drying your skin, massage in a few drops of argan oil to moisturize it.
How much black soap should I use, and how do I apply it?
A small amount is enough. Spread it with the palm of your hand on wet skin. Its paste-like texture and light lather are normal.
