Korean Body Scrubs for Men

The only authentic seshin in the Chicago region

Skin Reborn. The Art of Seshin.

The Korean body scrub — or seshin — is a full-body ritual that has endured for generations. It is a full ritual that penetrates the outermost layers to purify, renew, and restore. The grade of mitt, the duration of each pass, and the experience of your attendant all determine how effectively skin is renewed, revealing the cells hidden underneath.

At King Spa Chicago we are among the only places in the region where you can experience this authentic tradition. Men’s scrub services are performed privately in the men’s bathing area by a skilled male attendant — the same way it has been done in Korean jjimjilbangs for centuries.

"I didn't know my skin could feel like this — like I shed an entire season."

- The Process -

The Four Steps of Renewal

01

Soak & Prep Your Skin

Spend 15–20 minutes in the men’s hot bath to fully open your pores and soften surface skin. This step is critical — it determines how much the scrub is able to remove.

02

The Seshin Treatment

Male attendant will perform the full body scrub using traditional Italian mitts — working systematically from neck to feet, front and back, with deliberate and powerful strokes.

03

Deep & Rinse

Warm water rinses the accumulated dead skin away, revealing the fresh layer beneath. If you selected an oil or bubble add-on, it is applied at this stage for maximum absorption.

04

Rest & Recover

Rest and allow your skin to breathe fully for at least 30 minutes following the scrub — making the most of what has been revealed and allowing the treatment to complete its effects.

- Why It Works -

What Your Skin Gains

Instant Smoothness & Brightness

Our signature seshin experience delivers thorough exfoliation, unlike anything achievable at home. The removal of the outer dead skin layer reveals significantly brighter, more refined, younger-looking skin underneath.

Circulation & Lymphatic Flow

The sustained pressure and deliberate pass-by-pass technique of the scrub dramatically boosts circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping the body flush toxins and increase healthy blood flow to the surface.

Deep Hydration Absorption

Removing dead cells primes newly exposed skin to absorb moisturizers far more effectively — maximizing the impact of any oil, lotion, or hydration treatment applied immediately after the scrub.

Prevents Ingrown Hairs

Regular exfoliation is one of the most effective interventions for men prone to razor bumps and ingrown hairs — particularly effective for coarse hair on the face, neck, and body.

Collagen Stimulation

Regular scrubs promote cell turnover and collagen production, supporting skin elasticity and firmness by constantly stimulating the regenerative processes beneath the surface.

Full Body Decompression

Deep step is consistently followed by extraordinary physical and mental decompression — a complete cleansing process and resetting your skin’s natural equilibrium in a way no daily routine can replicate.

- Is This Right for You? -

Who This Experience Is For

This is for you if...

  • You're visiting a Korean spa for the first time and want the full experience
  • You've been dealing with full-on dry, rough, or dull skin
  • You want to prepare your skin for a special occasion or event

You may want to wait if...

"A full body scrub is not just a treatment — it's a reset. Most men who try it once return for it regularly within the month."

- Before You Begin -

How to Prepare

01

Arrive Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before your visit. Well-hydrated skin responds significantly better to exfoliation and releases dead cells more effectively.

02

Shower First

Rinse off before entering the bath area — but do not use any lotion, oil, or body scrub product before your visit. These coat the skin and prevent effective exfoliation.

03

Avoid All Things on Skin

A thorough seshin is facilitated when nothing has been applied to the skin. Skip deodorant, body spray, and any other product from the neck down before your appointment.

04

Soak Before Scrub

Relax in the hot bath for at least 15–20 minutes before your session. This primes the skin for exfoliation and makes your treatment dramatically more effective.

05

Moisturize After (Not Before)

Moisturize immediately after your session while skin is still slightly damp. This is when your skin will absorb hydration most deeply and effectively.

What You Want to Know

Yes. The seshin is performed in the nude — consistent with traditional Korean bathhouse practice, where the absence of clothing is necessary to perform a full-body scrub from head to toe. The treatment takes place in the men’s private bathing area.

Not for most men. You will feel significant friction and pressure as the mitts work across your skin — it’s vigorous, not gentle. Most men describe it as deeply satisfying rather than painful. If you need lighter pressure, simply let your attendant know.
Yes. Men’s body scrub services are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and do not require advance reservations. Walk in, check in at the desk, and our team will notify you when an attendant is available — typically within a short wait during off-peak hours.
No experience is required. Our male attendants are trained to guide first-time guests through the process — from where to go, to what to expect, to how to maximize your results. Many of our most loyal regulars tried it for the first time without any prior knowledge of Korean spa culture.
The KingSpa VIP Pass provides unlimited general admission to the spa, access to all communal bathing and sauna areas, and discounts on body scrub and massage services. Contact our front desk or download the KingSpa app for current VIP membership pricing and benefits.
Most men achieve optimal results with a scrub every 3–4 weeks, aligned with the skin’s natural regeneration cycle. Regular visits keep dead skin buildup minimal and skin consistently smooth, bright, and well-maintained between sessions.
