~Moroccan Aesthetic Spa and Hammam~

Hammam is...
A public bath in Japan.

It has a long history and has been built in towns since ancient times as a place for people to sweat and relax together. Today, there are various types, such as traditional local hammams in villages and towns, hammams that are like urban beauty salons, and super-luxury hammams in hotels. The flow inside a hammam is basically the same.
Your body is loosened with hot steam, then gel-like savon noir (olive oil soap) is applied to your body, and you leave it on for a while in the steam. After rinsing off the soap, you get an exfoliating scrub on a table.
After the scrub, your entire body is packed with ghassoul (clay rich in minerals) and left for a while until it dries. Ghassoul removes excess sebum and waste products from pores, has a high cleansing effect, and brightens your skin tone.
After thoroughly rinsing off the dried clay, argan oil is applied to the entire body for thorough moisturizing. In hotels, you then move to a separate room to rest comfortably. You are served sweet and delicious mint tea, etc.
Warming your body from the core has a very high relaxing effect.
For Moroccans, hammam is a precious place of healing and socializing. If you go to Morocco, please give it a try.
