For centuries, the Moroccan Hammam ritual has been more than a cleansing routine—it's a full body and mind reset rooted in ancient tradition. This ritual isn’t about endless products or complicated steps. It’s built around five simple, powerful phases that work in harmony to detoxify, nourish, and rejuvenate your skin.

Let’s break down the 5 pillars that make this timeless ritual so effective.

1. The Steam: Opening the Gate

Before any product touches your skin, the Hammam experience begins with warm steam. The heat gently opens your pores, softens dead skin cells, and allows your body to release toxins through sweat. The steam phase prepares your skin to fully absorb the benefits of the treatments that follow.

2. The Black Soap: Deep Cleansing

Once your pores are open, it's time for Moroccan Black Soap — made from crushed olives and olive oil, rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants. Applied to damp skin, this thick paste deeply cleanses, dissolves impurities, and softens dead skin without stripping away your skin's natural moisture barrier.

3. The Kessa Glove: Exfoliation

After a short rest with the Black Soap on your skin, it's time to exfoliate using the Kessa glove. This firm, textured glove gently removes dead skin cells and stimulates circulation. The exfoliation phase is key to revealing smoother, more radiant skin, while promoting cell renewal and detoxification.

4. The Ghassoul Clay: Purification

Once your skin is cleansed and exfoliated, it's ready for Ghassoul Clay (also called Rhassoul). Sourced from Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, this mineral-rich volcanic clay draws out remaining impurities, balances skin oils, and provides deep nourishment. It can be applied to both face and body.

5. The Argan Oil: Nourishment & Glow

To seal the ritual, the skin is replenished with 100% Pure Hand-Pressed Argan Oil. Rich in essential fatty acids, Vitamin E, and antioxidants, argan oil hydrates, soothes, and leaves your skin glowing. It restores elasticity and protects the skin barrier, making it an essential final step.

The Ritual of Balance

The beauty of the Moroccan Hammam ritual lies in its simplicity: detox, cleanse, purify, and nourish. Each phase supports your skin’s natural rhythm, helping you achieve long-lasting glow, softness, and overall wellness—both inside and out.
