Fancy a relaxing Sunday with some nice beauty treatment? Nothing better than a homemade Moroccan hammam!
During our journey to discover Marrakech, we tried the typical Moroccan hammam and I was kidnapped: silky, radiant skin and general well-being of mind and body.
I then tried to replicate the hammam treatments at home using some products purchased in Marrakech but that you can buy safely on the internet, as you will see in the post.
So here’s how to replicate a Moroccan hammam in the house!
The real Moroccan hammam provides before vapors that open the pores of the skin. I don’t think in the house we all have this possibility, so the solution could be to open the hot jet of the shower for a while and heat the bathroom taking advantage of the steam that expands in the environment
Second step is the Moroccan glove; for me this was a pleasant discovery so much that I could not help but buy it!
Where do you find him? Buy this on Amazon,really affordable price: two gloves you pay them just 12 euros.
Massage the body only moistened with circular movements from the bottom up! Insist on knees, elbows or where the skin is rougher.
Once the massage is over, rinse the body with warm water.
Next step gommage! Mine is an exclusively Moroccan product and it is very delicate, you can buy mine on this site.
Dab the skin gently with a towel and take a small amount of gommage, massage it gently over all the body always with circular movements.
Do not overdo it by force, you have just used the glove no need to exfoliate too insistently yet.
Finished the gommage, new rinse with hot water. Swab the body and then move on to gasshoul, clay. A delicate white clay will be perfect for this step, mine in fact is Aromazone. Dilute some clay in a bowl with water and then sprinkle the whole body with this sort of mask.
It only takes you 5 minutes of laying and then rinsing: remember not to dry the clay on the body.
Last step, my favorite: full massage with argan oil. Massage the oil all over the dry body gently and with the usual circular movements that converge towards the heart.
Homemade hammam like the original Moroccan one will give us a reborn, soft and shiny skin. Paired with a beautiful face mask and a hair mask you will be ready to face the new week in beauty.
