Used for centuries in Moroccan hammams, Ghassoul Clay (also spelled Rhassoul) is a natural mineral clay mined from the Atlas Mountains. Rich in silica, magnesium, potassium, and calcium, it's known for its detoxifying, clarifying, and nourishing properties for both skin and hair.

Whether you have oily, sensitive, acne-prone, or dry skin, Ghassoul adapts to your skin’s needs - making it one of the most versatile and gentle clays in natural skincare.

💡 Why Use Ghassoul Clay?

✔️ Deep Pore Cleansing - Draws out impurities and excess oil without stripping moisture
✔️ Balances Oil Production - Helps regulate sebum for oily or acne-prone skin
✔️ Softens and Smoothes - Leaves skin supple, with refined texture
✔️ Hair Detoxifier - Removes buildup from scalp while nourishing the roots
✔️ Gentle Exfoliant - Ideal for sensitive skin needing a smooth glow-up

🧴 How to Use Ghassoul Clay on Your Face

1. Start Clean - Wash your face with warm water to open up the pores.

2. Mix Your Paste - In a non-metal bowl, mix 1-2 tsp of Ghassoul Clay with warm water.

   • Optional: Add a few drops of Argan Oil or rose water for extra hydration.

3. Apply Evenly - Use clean fingers or a brush to apply to face (avoid eyes/lips).

4. Wait 7-10 Minutes - Do not let it dry completely to avoid over-drying.

5. Rinse Off Gently - Use lukewarm water and soft circular motions.

6. Hydrate - Follow with a light moisturizer or a few drops of Argan Oil.

🟡 Recommended: Use 1-2 times per week.

🧖♀️ How to Use It on the Body

1. Mix 2–3 tbsp with warm water into a smooth paste.

2. Apply generously to clean, damp skin (post-black soap for a true hammam ritual).

3. Let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

4. Finish with moisturizing - ideally with Argan Oil for the ultimate glow.

💇♀️ For Hair & Scalp

Ghassoul is also used as a natural shampoo mask.

1. Mix 2-3 tbsp with water until creamy.

2. Apply to damp scalp and hair, avoiding ends if they’re dry.

3. Massage gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes.

4. Rinse well - no shampoo needed.

5. Condition as usual or apply a few drops of Argan Oil on the ends.

🧼 Pro Tips

• Always use non-metal utensils (clay reacts with metal).

• Keep mixture moist during application - spritz with water if needed.

• Store your Ghassoul in a dry, airtight container away from light and humidity.

The Takeaway

Whether it’s your face, body, or scalp, Ghassoul Clay is a luxurious yet gentle way to reset your skin and feel deeply cleansed. When paired with Moroccan Black Soap and Argan Oil, it becomes a complete hammam ritual - right in your own home.
