Argan Oil

The good facts of black soap

What Is Moroccan Black Soap?

Black soap is a soft soap that comes in the form of a thick, dark-colored paste or gel. This special soap is made from crushed black olives, olive oil, and potash, macerated in salt. Rich in vitamin E, it offers numerous benefits for all skin types, the main one being deep skin exfoliation. Non-irritating, it helps remove toxins and dead skin cells while gently hydrating the skin. Its gentle nature also makes it suitable for all skin types.

It is a soap that foam little but that can turn into a product soft, creamy and really very nice. We experiment more than a care, we heal an “experience”!

The black soap scrub at home and in the hammam!

It is possible to enjoy the benefits of a black soap exfoliation at home, as black soap is now a cosmetic product that can be found in beauty and wellness stores such as Naturel Argania.

You can make your own homemade black soap scrub by purchasing this famous black soap and a Kessa glove, and get the same result as a hammam session.

Method: In the shower, apply the black soap to wet skin with open pores. Ideally, leave the black soap on for about ten minutes. Then scrub your entire body vigorously with your Kessa glove. When you see dead skin cells on the glove, rinse it and continue over all areas of your body in the same way. Then rinse your entire body with warm water.

To maintain beautiful skin all year round, it is recommended to exfoliate 1 to 2 times a week.

If you wish to use black soap as a facial exfoliant, do not use a Kessa glove, as it is too harsh for facial skin. Apply the black soap to damp skin, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Gently massage in circular motions and rinse with warm water.

After scrubbing with black soap

After a black soap exfoliation, you can continue to pamper your skin. To nourish it, we recommend argan oil as a regenerating treatment for the body or face.

At the hammam, black soap exfoliation prepares the skin for other treatments, such as a Rhassoul clay body wrap. This mineral clay treatment helps tighten the appearance of pores, absorb impurities, and further soften the skin. If you have the time, why not?

After this (s) care (s), you will feel frankly your skin released from all its dead cells, it will be clean, soft and regenerated!
