Drawing inspiration from the ancient tradition of hammam, this treatment left our reviewer with the softest, smoothest skin she’s ever had. The ritual begins with soft steam enveloping your entire body. Then, a therapist skillfully scrubs away dead skin and impurities with black soap, which is known for its deep cleansing properties. This is followed by the application of rhassoul, a mineral-rich clay sourced from the Atlas Mountains. The ritual ends with a reinvigorating face and scalp massage using argan oil, leaving you with satin-smooth skin from head to toe.
