Quote for the Day

"The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude." Charles Swindoll

Akasuri Body Treatment

In ancient Korea and Japan, personal baths were reserved for people of nobility. The common people patronized bathhouses, where in addition to a decadent bath and gossip with neighbors, they had access to a unique form of exfoliating body scrub called akasuri. Woodcuts from the 19th Century often depict akasuri, wherein attendants scrubbed the backs of seated bathers. Known also as a "red scrub" or Korean-style body scrub because of its origins on the Korean peninsula, akasuri tones and restores vitality to skin by first relaxing and cleansing the pores, and then any remaining bacteria, dirt, and dead skin cells are whisked away during a vigorous rub down that will leave you feeling remarkably smooth and clean.

Akasuri, which is itself a Japanese word meaning 'red' (aka) and 'to rub' (suru), begins with a brief visit to a steam room, sauna, or even a hot shower or bath, which will soften your skin in preparation for the scrub itself. In Korean spas, there is a traditional rough-surfaced towel used only for akasuri, but you may use an exfoliating mitt or loofah sponge with soap or lotion to thoroughly scrub, clean, and massage your body, sloughing off impurities and exposing newer, youthful skin. Though it may leave your skin looking a bit red at first (hence the "red scrub"), the brisk massage will promote increased circulation, stimulate the lymph system, and cleanse your skin as never before. Finally, you rinse in a second bath or shower and may choose to apply your favorite lotion.

As a traditional beauty treatment, akasuri is one way to immerse yourself in Korean culture, where bathing and cleanliness represent the spiritual experience of washing one's soul and purifying oneself. Though it may be performed by a professional in a spa, akasuri can just as effectively be done at home, in the privacy of your own bathroom. Either way, you will be left feeling clean and calm, with skin so smooth you'll glow.
