A Hammam experience is incomplete without the renowned duo of the Kassa (exfoliation glove) and Hammam black soap. These two essentials play a crucial role in the cleansing and rejuvenating rituals of a Hammam. They work in tandem to provide deep cleansing and exfoliation, helping remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and leave the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
Here's how each component contributes to the Hammam experience:
- Hammam Soap: Also known as "Black Soap," this key element of the Hammam ritual is made from a blend of crushed olives, olive oil, and eucalyptus. This dark, creamy soap is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants. It is applied to the skin in the steam room, where the heat helps open the pores and allows the soap to penetrate deeply. Black soap softens the skin, making it ready for the exfoliation process.
- Kassa Glove: After the black soap has been applied, left on the skin for a few minutes and rinced, the Kassa glove is used for exfoliation. Made from a textured, eco-friendly, and reusable fabric, the Kassa glove is designed to slough off dead skin cells and impurities. Using the glove with gentle back-and-forth motions, the skin is exfoliated, revealing a smoother, more radiant surface. This process also stimulates blood circulation, helps to detoxify the skin, removes ingrown hairs, and prepares the skin for tanning.
Incorporating the Kassa glove and black soap into your Hammam experience provides a comprehensive approach to skincare, offering deep cleansing, exfoliation, and rejuvenation. Embrace these essentials in our modern spa and discover the transformative power of traditional Hammam rituals for yourself.
Pro Tips:
- Prepare your skin: Do not apply any cream or oil before the scrub to facilitate exfoliation and the removal of dead skin.
- Use back-and-forth motions: When using the Kassa glove, employ gentle yet firm back-and-forth motions to maximize exfoliation and stimulate blood flow. Pay extra attention to areas of concern (underarms, elbows, knees) to help whiten them.
- Consistency is key: Regular use of black soap and the Kassa glove will maintain the benefits, keeping your skin smooth, healthy, and rejuvenated.
- Follow with moisturizer: After exfoliation, apply Argan oil or a moisturizing lotion to nourish and hydrate the skin, enhancing the overall results.
