A mainstay of Moroccan hammams, Beldi soap is high-alkaline soap made from olive oil, which gives it a gel-like consistency. Frequently used in body-masking treatments, Beldi soap is ace at cleansing (opening pores) and exfoliating. Its cleansing powers are often upgraded to mood-boosting, when mixed with soothing orange blossom water, uplifting eucalyptus, relaxing lavender.

Smooth, glowy skin starts with a serious exfoliation. A traditional hammam experience involves Beldi soap, Rhassoul Clay and Argan oil, but what you’ll most remember from the experience is the exfoliation. Often involving a special exfoliation mitt, the kissa, it’s an intense process, sloughing away layers of dead skin to reveal supremely soft, rejuvenated skin. If you’re using an exfoliation mitt at home, once a week should be enough to see results. You can watch the dead skin washing away down the drain along with any worry and anxiety.

Derived from the Atlas Mountains, Rhassoul Clay helps draw out impurities, detox pores and balance sebum production in the skin. Applied after exfoliation, the clay is said to help boost skin clarity and reduce dryness. Applied on hair, it absorbs impurities from the scalp and hydrates the hair for purified smooth silky hair.
