Short answer: To do a hammam at home, steam your body for 10 to 15 minutes, apply Moroccan black soap, wait a few minutes, exfoliate with a kessa glove, rinse, then moisturize. The whole ritual takes about 45 minutes.
What you need
- Moroccan black soap (savon beldi)
- A kessa exfoliating glove
- Henna or rhassoul clay for an optional hair or skin mask
- Argan oil to finish
- A towel and a bucket or bowl for rinsing
Step by step
- Steam. Run a hot shower with the door closed, or sit in a steamy bathroom for 10 to 15 minutes until you sweat lightly.
- Apply black soap. Spread a thin layer over the whole body and leave it for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Exfoliate. Using the kessa glove, rub in long strokes on arms and legs and small circles on the torso. You will see the dead skin roll off.
- Rinse with warm water, then finish with a cooler rinse.
- Mask (optional). Apply a clay or henna treatment for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Moisturize with a few drops of argan oil while skin is still slightly damp.
