A Korean Full Body Scrub (also called seshin in Korea) is a spa treatment where a therapist uses a coarse textured mitt (often a specially made “Korean exfoliating mitt”) to scrub the entire body, removing dead skin cells, cleansing pores, and stimulating circulation.
Since you said you have oily skin and dandruff (which suggests you may have higher sebum production, possibly clogged pores or build-up on body/shoulder/back), a full-body scrub may be particularly beneficial because:
It helps remove dead skin cell build-up and surface debris, which can trap oil or exacerbate pore issues.
It stimulates circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can help skin renewal.
Leaves your skin feeling smoother, which may also reduce visible buildup or rough patches on body/arms/legs/back.
It can be a good “reset” treatment to complement your regular skincare; however important: It must be adapted properly for oily skin (not too aggressive, ensure after-care controls oil and prevents new clogging).
Smoother skin texture: After the scrub your skin should feel very smooth (the removal of dead skin and buildup lets the fresh skin show).
Improved circulation and lymph drainage: The scrubbing stimulates blood flow which helps cell renewal. svadore.com
Better absorption of subsequent skincare: With dead skin removed, lotions/serums you apply afterwards may penetrate better.
Reduction in body-skin issues: For example people with body acne or rough patches have noted improvements after Korean scrubs.
Feeling of refresh & reset: Many clients say it feels like a true “deep cleanse” of the body.
Because the exfoliation is vigorous, if you have active skin issues (open wounds, inflamed acne, sunburn) it might irritate the skin further.
For oily skin: The treatment may trigger increased oil production temporarily if the skin barrier is stressed. So you’ll need proper after-care (light moisturizer, oil-control sunscreen, non-comedogenic products).
If you have dandruff on scalp/back region, the scrub may loosen skin flakes — that's fine if you cleanse afterwards but ensure the spa uses clean equipment and is hygienic.
Frequency: Monthly may be enough; overdoing exfoliation may damage skin barrier especially in oily/acne-prone conditions which can lead to more oil or inflammation.
Ensure the mitt and room hygiene are good — because full-body scrubs mean essentially full-body exposure; cleanliness matters.
After the scrub: avoid heavy makeup or heavy body covers for a few hours so skin can breathe.
Use a broad-spectrum body sunscreen daily if exposed to sun (especially after exfoliation skin may be more sensitive).
For your oily skin: Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic body moisturizer or gel that won’t clog pores. Consider using a body toner or gentle chemical exfoliant (once or twice a week) post-treatment to maintain smoothness.
Avoid hot baths/saunas for 24 h (unless recommended by spa) because your skin is freshly exfoliated.
Maintain a regular schedule: once every 4-6 weeks might be sufficient, but monitor how your skin reacts.
Combine with good body hygiene: since you have dandruff (on scalp/back) ensure you keep your back/shoulders cleaned and use a good scalp treatment; the scrub will help body surface but scalp/back oil build-up continues so treat accordingly.
After the scrub, wear clean, breathable clothing to avoid clogging pores or causing irritation.
