The Art of Bathing
The Art of Bathing - The Full Experience
Indulge in the ultimate bath house experience with the Gressa Art of Bathing Full Experience.
Preliminary to the bathing experience, boil a pot of water to prepare your beauty Chay. Measure out a tablespoon of the organic herb blend and cover with 12 oz of water. Steep for 8-10 minutes. Enjoy by itself or with a teaspoon of honey once the temperature of the water has cooled off a bit.
- Step into luxury:
Begin by creating a haven in your bathtub or shower, allowing steam to fill the air and envelop your senses. Achieve maximum steaminess by closing doors and letting hot water flow for 2 to 3 minutes. - Nourish your skin:
Once enveloped in warm mist, initiate your Hammam ritual with the Hammam Conditioning Soap Paste. Apply it generously to skin, allowing its natural, plant-based formula to prepare and soften. This traditional paste, crafted through meticulous soap cooking, lathers upon contact with water, paving the way for a gentle yet profound exfoliation. Ideal for body and face, excluding sensitive areas prone to sensitivity. - Revitalize with gentle exfoliation:
Next, employ the Kessa glove to delicately exfoliate in circular motions. Designed for both face and body, this glove respects the skin barrier while effectively removing toxins and dead skin cells, unveiling a newfound radiance. - Hydrate and nourish:
Upon completing your ritual, emerge and apply Sillage, akin to a body toner, imbued with enriching emollients and a hydrating blend of neroli and exotic citrus notes. - Seal in moisture:
Complete your journey with Attar anointing body oil. Massage this luxurious blend lovingly into your entire body, ensuring every inch absorbs its nourishing embrace. - Savor the moment:
Enhance your post-ritual tranquility with a sip of Chay, offering serenity and presence, elevating your moment of bliss.
Embrace transformation:
Commit to this transformative ritual weekly to witness your skin transcend from lackluster to luminous and sensual, regardless of the season.
