Traditional Moroccan Hammam

Traditional Moroccan Hammam

This is the classic and most widely known Moroccan bath. It involves a series of steps designed to purify the body, relax the muscles, and rejuvenate the skin. The process typically includes:

• Steam treatment: Relaxing in a warm steam room to open the pores.
• Exfoliation: Using black soap (made from olive oil) and a Kessa glove to scrub off dead skin cells.
• Rinsing: Warm water is used to rinse off the soap and exfoliated skin.
• Nourishing oils: Application of essential oils or moisturizers to hydrate and soften the skin.

The traditional Moroccan Hammam is usually performed in public bathhouses, but it can also be enjoyed privately at high-end spas.
