There’s something beautifully sacred about pressing pause on your day, letting warm steam surround you, and indulging in a ritual that’s been passed down for centuries. In Morocco, that ritual is the hammam — and at the heart of it is Moroccan Black Soap. More than just a cleanser, this olive oil-based paste has been a symbol of purification, renewal, and self-care for generations.

If you’ve been curious about how to use this traditional beauty secret, you’re in the right place. Here's how to recreate the hammam experience at home — and why your skin will thank you for it.

Step 1: Start with a Warm Shower or Bath

Before applying the soap, spend a few minutes under warm water. This softens the skin, opens your pores, and preps your body to absorb all the natural goodness of Moroccan Black Soap. If possible, relax in a steamy bath or simply let the shower run hot for a few minutes.

Step 2: Apply the Soap to Damp Skin

Scoop out a small amount of the soap and rub it between your palms. The texture is rich and paste-like — don’t expect foam. Apply it evenly to your body, avoiding eyes and lips. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes so the olive oil and Vitamin E can work their magic.

Step 3: Exfoliate with a Kessa Glove

Now comes the transformation. Slip on your exfoliating Kessa glove and, using gentle circular motions, begin scrubbing your skin. You’ll notice dead skin rolling away — this is the hallmark of a true hammam cleanse. Take your time and breathe through the ritual. It’s not just about exfoliation; it’s a full-body reset.

Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse off all the soap and impurities with warm water. Your skin will feel unbelievably smooth, clean, and renewed.

Step 5: Hydrate with Argan Oil

Complete your ritual with a few drops of 100% pure Argan Oil. Massage it into damp skin to lock in moisture, calm the skin, and add a soft, radiant finish. This final step is essential — it turns cleansing into nourishment.

Why This Ritual Works

• Deep Cleansing – Moroccan Black Soap detoxifies without harsh chemicals.

• Natural Exfoliation – The Kessa glove removes dead skin and improves circulation.

• Lasting Glow – Argan Oil finishes the ritual with hydration and antioxidant protection.

The Takeaway

Exfoliating shouldn’t be harsh — it should feel like self-respect. With Moroccan Black Soap, you’re not just cleansing your body, you’re engaging in a timeless tradition of care, softness, and glow.

Use it once or twice a week, pair it with Argan Oil, and rediscover what real skin renewal feels like.
