Composed of a mixture of black olives and natural oil, black soap has its origins in Morocco and is part of the country's ancestral beauty traditions. Since the dawn of time, women have used it in hammams before exfoliating the skin. You will find it in stores in the form of a smooth and oily paste. But don't be surprised, black soap is not always black, it all depends on the oil used for its creation. It can be alternately green, brown or black.
Black soap is traditionally used to beautify and soften the skin. It removes all dead skin and toxins from the epidermis, and cleans it thoroughly. The skin is soft and rid of all its impurities. Advantage, exfoliating the skin activates blood circulation and therefore, a better tone of the epidermis. And that's not all, black soap rich in vitamin E, makes you enjoy its antimicrobial properties. Ideal if you have itchy skin. Good to know, black soap is suitable for all skin types. Its use is often accompanied by a horsehair glove or a kessa glove to exfoliate the epidermis in depth. But you can also apply it as a moisturizer on the face, hands and the rest of the body.
If you do not have the possibility to go to the hamma (there is also little chance that this is the case), you can use the black soap in the shower. Apply a dab of product to all wet parts of your body, then exfoliate with a glove. If you are brave, rinse with cold water to tone the skin. If you have more time, slip into a warm bath and methodically remove dead skin. How? 'Or' What ? By applying the black soap then rubbing vigorously with a kessa glove. Once your skin is rinsed and dried, moisturize with sweet almond oil or argan oil. A 100% natural beauty ritual!
