The rhassoul, what is it?
The miracle clay
Rhassoul comes from Arabic "rassala" which means "to wash". No big surprises so when it is found in the ritual of the hammam. The rhassoul is used to "wash" and more specifically to remove all the impurities on the skin deep thanks to trace elements and minerals. And this is where the miracle takes its full measure: unlike soap, the action will be more astringent, degreasing and regulating.
These virtues are ideal for the skin, face and body but also for hair, which needs a revitalization of vitality. Clay easily adapts to oily skin for its regulating properties of sebum, without excluding other skin that is not punished for all that!
The application
If in the Maghreb countries, the rhassoul replaces shampoo and soap, it can be more easily used as a mask or wrapping. Like all clays, rhassoul is in its raw state, either powder or platelet. No matter what its shape, just mix the texture with water.
The dough should be thick, malleable and creamy. You need to apply it to the desired area without dripping. The exposure time does not exceed 20 minutes otherwise rinsing will be more difficult. Especially on curly hair where residues can persist. Detangling can also be difficult if you have not disentangled your hair beforehand. The patience is therefore appropriate but the result is worth the candle, do not forget it! You can take advantage of the break time to make a scrub by circular massages, the benefits will be increased tenfold.
The variants
If the texture and smell, rather bitter, do not seduce you, you can also vary the pleasures with potions of beauty. Thus, many women add rose water, orange blossom, jasmine to perfume the mixture. For hair applications, you will add chamomile powder for a lightening effect.
And to facilitate disentangling, do not hesitate to dress with drops of argan oil or jojoba. The sweet almond oil can also accompany a body wrap and bring a good dose of hydration to get a satiny and sublimated skin. In short, you will understand, the rhassoul is a basic product, 100% natural that welcomes all the accompaniments. Your cute fantasies are in the spotlight ladies!
