At Ann Karen Spa, we bring ancient traditions and modern luxury together in one unforgettable treatment. Our Korean Body Scrub with Milk is one of the most requested services for clients seeking deep exfoliation, smoother skin, and complete rejuvenation. Rooted in time-honored Korean bathhouse rituals, this treatment goes far beyond surface cleansing—it’s a full-body reset for your skin, circulation, and sense of well-being.
This method has been used for centuries to help remove built-up dead skin, unclog pores, boost circulation, and create a visibly radiant complexion. Combined with a nourishing milk rinse, the experience becomes equal parts invigorating and indulgent.
What Is a Korean Body Scrub?
The Korean Body Scrub, also known as Seshin, is a traditional exfoliation technique performed in a warm, humid environment. Using special textured gloves, our expert therapists gently but thoroughly scrub away layers of dead skin, revealing a bright, healthy layer beneath.
Unlike superficial scrubs you may experience elsewhere, this method is deeper, more thorough, and leaves a long-lasting glow. At AnnKaren Spa, we enhance this ritual with a calming warm milk rinse to soften the skin and restore moisture after exfoliation, giving your body a polished, hydrated finish.
Why Milk?
Milk has long been used as a natural skincare ingredient. It contains lactic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps dissolve dead skin cells without harsh abrasion. It also delivers vital nutrients and hydration. Rich in calcium, vitamins A and D, and natural fats, milk nourishes the skin barrier while soothing irritation.
The warm milk used in our treatment helps to calm the freshly exfoliated skin, reduce redness, and seal in moisture. The result? Skin that feels baby-soft, looks visibly smoother, and stays hydrated well after the treatment.
Key Benefits of the Korean Body Scrub with Milk
Clients who receive this treatment often say it’s the most effective body scrub they’ve ever had. The benefits go beyond smooth skin:
Deep Exfoliation
The scrub removes dull, dry, and flaky skin at a level that lotions and regular scrubs cannot match. It also unclogs pores and prevents ingrown hairs.
Improved Circulation
The manual scrubbing motion stimulates blood flow, leaving you with a healthy, rosy glow and improved oxygenation to skin cells.
Lymphatic Stimulation
The firm, rhythmic technique encourages lymphatic drainage, helping reduce puffiness and supporting natural detoxification.
Brightened Skin Tone
With dead skin removed and fresh cells revealed, your skin appears brighter, clearer, and more even in tone.
Enhanced Product Absorption
After exfoliation, your skin is primed to better absorb moisturizers, oils, and treatments—making it a perfect add-on before body masks or massages.
Milk-Based Hydration
The final rinse leaves skin soft, supple, and silky thanks to the soothing, replenishing effects of warm milk.
What to Expect During the Treatment
The treatment begins in a heated room or under warm steam, which softens the skin and prepares it for exfoliation. Your therapist will then begin the Korean Body Scrub using traditional exfoliating gloves and water to gently but thoroughly remove dead skin.
The scrub is performed over your entire body in long, methodical strokes. Clients often see the dead skin being lifted and rinsed away—an instantly satisfying experience. Once the exfoliation is complete, your therapist will gently pour warm milk over your body, smoothing it across the skin and letting it absorb.
Finally, a light moisturizer or body oil may be applied to lock in hydration, leaving you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and deeply renewed.
Who Is This Treatment For?
The Korean Body Scrub with Milk is suitable for almost everyone, but it’s especially helpful for:
Those with dry or flaky skin
Clients preparing for a special occasion or trip
People dealing with rough patches or uneven skin tone
Anyone experiencing clogged pores or dullness
First-time spa-goers looking for a transformative treatment
Individuals who want a traditional cultural spa experience
It’s also a great option between waxing or shaving appointments, as it helps reduce ingrown hairs and keeps skin smooth and healthy.
How Often Should You Book?
We recommend getting a Korean Body Scrub with Milk every 3–4 weeks for regular skin maintenance. If you’re preparing for a major event or a change in season, it can be helpful to schedule more frequent sessions to maintain your skin’s glow and prevent buildup of dead skin.
Many of our regular clients add this to their monthly self-care routine because the effects are not just physical—this treatment can help you feel re-energized and emotionally reset as well.
Preparing for Your Appointment
To get the most out of your experience, we suggest:
Avoiding lotion or oils on the day of your appointment
Drinking water beforehand to stay hydrated
Arriving early to relax and allow your body to warm up
Wearing comfortable clothes for after your treatment
If you’ve recently waxed or tanned, we recommend waiting 48–72 hours before booking this scrub to avoid irritation.
