Exfoliating Scrub & Foam Massage
Sultan Süleyman HammamThe slippery nature of the soap helps the body relax during the treatment, making the experience feel like a form of stress therapy. Compared to relaxing massages, the scrub and foam massage is a slightly firmer type of massage and cleansing ritual.
At Sultan Süleyman Hammams, the scrub and foam massage is usually completed in approximately 30 minutes. Thanks to the properties of the soap, there is no need to use extra massage oil during this treatment.
Foam massage has a positive effect on blood circulation. As the silky foam surrounds the entire body, every touch creates a unique and pleasant sensation.
Since the treatment supports the cleansing of the skin through the pores, the scrub and foam massage helps refresh the skin and may support its natural renewal process. At Sultan Süleyman Hammams, we recommend having a scrub and foam session at least once a week.
