korean washcloths 2 ea in 1

Surely, many noticed that most Koreans look fresh and young even at a very mature age. What is their secret? The answer is simple: exfoliation. Korean women worship exfoliation. And it is not surprising, because updating the epidermis, in addition to getting rid of dead cells and impurities, provides restoration of skin respiration, acceleration of blood circulation and regeneration processes, as well as better penetration of the active components of care products.

Thus, the skin remains moisturized longer, because useful ingredients do not need to break through the “wall” of the keratinized layer of the epidermis. Exfoliation, in turn, provides them with a more directed action. In addition, this procedure stimulates the activity of fibroblasts, cells that activate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity of our skin.

This procedure, which is more like a ritual, can be performed in SPA salons, the so-called chimchilbans. Chimchilbans are public baths where you can not only take care of your beauty, but also have a good rest, get rid of the accumulated stress, take time to talk with loved ones. They are truly a symbolic attribute of Korean beauty culture.

For exfoliation, special abrasive washcloths made of viscose are used. They are also known as Korean Italy Towel or Italian scrub towels. The invention itself belongs to the Koreans, but the material from which they are made was first imported from Italy. Washcloths are gaining popularity with the spread of the Asian model of body care.
