Transform your home into a peaceful retreat with a spa ritual inspired by the centuries-old tradition of the Turkish hamam. With Patara Life’s exfoliating glove and olive oil soaps, you can experience the cleansing, nourishing, and relaxing benefits of this ritual—no plane ticket to Istanbul required!
The Art of the Turkish Bath
The Turkish bath, or hamam, has been a cornerstone of wellness culture for centuries. It’s a deeply restorative ritual that combines cleansing, exfoliation, and relaxation to refresh both body and mind. Traditionally, the ritual involves warming the body, deep cleansing the skin, and finishing with luxurious moisture and rest.
Re-creating this ritual at home can become a beautiful act of self-care. Here’s how to do it step-by-step with Patara Life’s natural, eco-friendly products.
Step 1: Create a Calming Atmosphere
Dim the lights, play soft instrumental music, and light a natural candle. Have your fluffy Turkish bath towel and a cozy robe ready for after your ritual — we love our muslin cotton robe for its lightweight softness.
Step 2: Warm Your Skin
Just as in the hamam, warmth is key. Run a warm shower or bath and allow the steam to soften your skin for at least 5–10 minutes. This step preps your skin for deeper exfoliation and opens your pores for a thorough cleanse.
Step 3: Deep Exfoliation with the Patara Life Glove
Slip on your Patara Life exfoliating glove and gently buff your skin using long, sweeping motions. This step removes dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and leaves your skin glowing.

Step 4: Cleanse with Olive Oil Soap
After exfoliating, lather up with Patara Life’s olive oil soap, made with nourishing herbal oils. This natural soap cleans without stripping your skin of moisture, leaving it feeling soft, hydrated, and refreshed.
Step 5: Rinse & Wrap Yourself in Luxury
Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then wrap yourself in a plush Turkish towel to soak up the moisture. Slip into your muslin robe and allow yourself to relax with a cup of herbal tea or quiet time.
Step 6: Seal in the Moisture
Complete your ritual with your favourite body oil or moisturiser to lock in hydration and keep your skin glowing all day.
