Women tend to think that the hammam is reserved for institutes. By following our advice, you will be able to reproduce the ritual of the hammam to perfection. The first step is to take a hot (not lukewarm) shower. The steam opens the pores of the skin to receive a better deep cleaning and better penetration of the active ingredients of the care. For the shower, you can use different types of products. You can use a soap, a classic shower gel or a shower gel inspired by oriental beauty secrets with argan oil or rhassoul. The latter is a purifying mineral clay for the skin and above all one of the traditional products of the hammam. After the shower, the second step concerns the application of black soap on the body. It is recommended to nourish the skin and eliminate dead cells. Once the body has been well rinsed, it is a matter of exfoliating with a traditional horsehair glove. It is ideal to fight against cellulite! You can also use a loofah which is less abrasive. The last step is related to the hydration of the body and hair, with argan oil or prickly pear oil, renowned for their beneficial active ingredients.
The benefits of the hammam are very numerous thanks to the excessive perspiration of the body. The steam allows the dilation of the pores of the skin, and therefore the elimination of toxins, sebum and blackheads. The good effects on the skin are no longer to be proven. This beauty treatment undeniably improves the appearance of the face for a radiant and hydrated complexion. If you are prone to adult acne, regularly perform the hammam ritual. For certain skin diseases such as psoriasis, its action is also very beneficial. It helps to fight against the phenomenon of desquamation. Do not hesitate to give yourself a gentle massage with a horsehair glove. In addition, this massage helps to fight against cellulite. On the other hand, it is important to note that the hammam is strongly discouraged for women suffering from eczema and fungal infections. Heat and humidity are great enemies.
Without going through the complete hammam ritual, you can quickly and easily exfoliate with black soap… While staying at home! Like ghassoul (also called rassoul) and shea butter, black soap is a natural product generally used for treatments in hammams. Black soap is a kind of grain-free scrub paste that has exfoliating and softening power. Today, it is increasingly easy to buy black soap. Once the black soap is found, you apply it to the body while being in the shower or in the bath. When it is in place, all you have to do is gently exfoliate the body with a horsehair glove. You can do this scrub about once a week depending on your skin type and needs. You will also see benefits against cellulite.
