Seshin (洗身) is an essential tradition in Korean bathhouse culture and a core aspect of the country’s wellness lifestyle. Performed by skilled professionals called seshin-sa (exfoliation experts), this treatment involves thoroughly scrubbing the entire body to remove dead skin cells and impurities, leaving your skin exceptionally soft and clean. Seshin is more than just an exfoliating scrub—it’s a revitalizing ritual believed to improve blood circulation, promote skin health, and relieve stress.
Traditionally, Seshin is performed in public bathhouses such as jjimjilbangs. Customers lie on a dedicated table while the seshin-sa uses a special scrubbing towel and rhythmic movements to cleanse the body thoroughly. For many Koreans, Seshin is not only a cleansing practice but also a memorable family tradition, a rite of passage, and a shared social experience.
In recent years, private and premium Seshin services have become increasingly popular, especially among women and travelers who value privacy.
Unlike communal bathhouses, private Seshin is offered in single-person rooms or luxury spas by reservation only. These services provide personalized care, aromatherapy, and various add-on treatments, allowing guests to enjoy all the benefits of Seshin in a comfortable and hygienic environment.
