African Beauty Essentials Series: Spotlight on a few treasures from #Morocco.

In Morocco, and exported to the world, a visit to the hammam (traditional bathhouse for body care and beauty treatments) is a prized women’s experience. It involves preparations, massage, exfoliation: serious beauty care.

Moroccan damask roses feature in its rose oil and rose water preparations: some of the world’s best. Rose water in particular has been used for centuries in effectively cleansing, toning, moisturizing and cooling the skin. Cleopatra was a fan! It has proven anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and regenerating properties; beneficial for sensitive and even troubled skin. Rose water also softens and conditions the hair. All while smelling amazing.

No tribute to Moroccan beauty treasures can be complete without a salute to Argan oil. It comes from Moroccan Argan tree seeds and is now widely renowned for its superior moisturizing benefits. Argan oil is vitamin-rich and has great healing, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory properties. It can be applied directly to skin and hair or incorporated in personal care products.
