Even in ancient Greece, as well as among the Romans, the bathing culture had a very high priority. Even at that time it was appreciated that a warm bath in the same time will have a purifying and beneficial health effects of a for the human body and mind. As a further development of the Greece-Roman bath, in the Middle Ages the oriental steam bath, hammam arises. In a traditional hammam steam bath, it is not about bathing only. Beside the bath itself and the steam room, relaxing massages and cleansing scrubs are as well part of the hamam, and the Oriental bathing culture. A visit to a steam bath can not only improve the well-being, but also counteract muscle tension, stimulate the blood circulation and even retard the aging process of the skin. Specifically for this application, the particularly delicate and rich foam soap SCHUPP Olive was developed. The SCHUPP foam soap contains valuable olive oil and vitamin E, it is good for skin regeneration and makes the skin soft and tender.
From the traditional "Kese" to the modern peeling glove
The classic Turkish hammam is mostly made of marble, with a round, circular mattress in the middle of the room. In these traditional oriental steam baths during the swim and after, special peeling gloves, traditional "Kese" were used for massaging and foams. In ancient times those "Kese" gloves were made from wild silk and goat hair. The modern version of those hammam scrub gloves, which now can be found in the product range of SCHUPP-Privatshop, combines modern materials and manufacturing techniques with the rich Oriental spa and bathing culture of Hamam.
The Hamam Peeling glove at SCHUPP-Privatshop
Unlike the ancient "Kese" peeling gloves, modern hammam peeling gloves are no longer made out of goat hair and wild silk, but instead made out of viscose. Viscose fibers are extracted from the natural material cellulose, have excellent water absorbency and feel very comfortable. Viscose rayons are a natural good. Compared to real synthetic fibers, which raw materials must be obtained from petroleum or domestic gas, the raw materials for viscose fibers are made out of wood, a renewable resource. Even the production of viscose rayon itself needs significantly less energy and water, compared with cotton. In this way it was possible to obtain the positive qualities of a classic hammam peeling glove to ensure a consistent and high quality product, combined with excellent compatibility and sustainability for people and nature.
