For centuries, the traditional Moroccan bath, or hammam, has been much more than a simple cleansing routine. It is a true ritual of purification and care, designed to revitalize the body and soothe the mind.
Inspired by this ancient tradition, Les Sens de Marrakech offers you authentic, natural products to recreate the hammam experience in your own home, a true moment of relaxation and well-being.
Discover how to transform your bathing routine into an unforgettable sensory experience with products featuring oriental scents and natural ingredients.
Step 1: Purification with Pâte d’Olive or Noir d’Olive black soap
The ritual begins by purifying the skin with black soap, a key element of the hammam. This black olive-based soap is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants. Black soap cleanses deeply, ridding the skin of impurities and preparing it for gentle exfoliation.
To recreate this first step at home, apply the Olive Paste or the Black Olive on damp skin. Leave on for a few minutes to open pores and soften skin, then rinse off with lukewarm water. This product will leave your skin soft and ready for the next stage of the ritual.
Step 2: Exfoliation with the Kessa exfoliating glove
Exfoliation is at the heart of the Moroccan bath. To eliminate dead cells and activate blood circulation, use the Kessa glove after applying black soap. This rough glove provides deep exfoliation while stimulating cell regeneration.
Use with Desert sand and argan oil scrub or the Argan grain exfoliating cream, you can enhance the exfoliating effect while moisturizing your skin. Apply in circular movements all over the body for smooth, luminous skin.
Step 3: The rhassoul clay mask
Once the skin has been exfoliated, the body is ready for rhassoul, a mineral clay from the Atlas Mountains. This clay is known for its purifying and softening properties. It absorbs excess sebum and regulates the skin’s moisture balance, while providing minerals and trace elements.
Mix the Natural rhassoul or with aromatic extracts with a little water to form a smooth paste and apply all over the body. Leave to dry for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Your skin will be deeply purified, soft and nourished.
Step 4: Moisturizing with Argan Oil or Sensual Oil
After bathing and exfoliation, the skin needs to be deeply moisturized to remain supple and radiant. Argan oil or Sensual Oil, nicknamed “liquid gold”, is ideal for this step. Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, it intensely nourishes the skin and protects it from drying out.
Apply a few drops of pure Argan Oil or opt for one of the Sensual oils for an extra sensory touch.
Step 5: Extending the wellness experience
To prolong the relaxing effect of the ritual, light a scented candle or use a home fragrance diffuser to maintain a soothing atmosphere in your bathroom. Enchanting scents such as amber or orange blossom will create an olfactory cocoon that will prolong this moment of well-being.
