Working Up A Sweat In a Turkish Bath
You're taken to a warm, humid room with a raised stone platform (goebektas) in the center, surrounded by bathing alcoves, in pretty colored quartz tiles.
The tiles remove static electricity from the air, and help to relax the mind and body. The light, diffused through glass in the ceiling is soft and relaxing.
You lay or sit on the platform, which is heated, and work up a sweat. The attendant then leads you to one of the basins, and you're scrubbed cleaner than you
ever have been, and again. She uses a coarse mitt to remove layers of dead skin, then comes the soap. She uses a lacy cloth, like an icing bag, and blows through
it to create bubbles so you're covered from head to toe with white frothy bubbles. For the massage you go back to the stone platform, and it might be a bit rougher
than a traditional Swedish massage. After the massage you are handed towels and then taken to the cool room to cool down and drink tea.
Scrubbing with a loofah or exfoliating gloves immediately after steaming will remove any dead, dry skin which has accumulated, leaving skin glowing, smooth, and soft.
It is a way to improve the appearance of the feet and the nails. It provides a similar service to a manicure. The word pedicure refers to superficial cosmetic
treatment of the feet and toenails. A pedicure can help prevent nail diseases and nail disorders. Pedicures are done for cosmetic, therapeutic and medical purposes.
They're extremely popular throughout the world, primarily among women.
Pedicures are not just limited to nails; usually dead skin cells on the bottom of feet are rubbed off using a rough stone called a pumice stone. Additionally, leg care
below the knee became a common and now expected service included in pedicures. Leg care includes depilation via either shaving or waxing followed by granular exfoliation,
application of moisturizing creams, and a brief leg massage.
