Rhassoul Clay used in Turkish Hammam
Rhassoul clay, also known as Moroccan clay, is a type of clay found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. It has been used for centuries in traditional hammam rituals in Turkey and Morocco. Rhassoul clay is rich in minerals such as silica, magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which help to nourish and detoxify the skin. The clay is an excellent ingredient for cleansing and exfoliating the skin. It works by absorbing excess oils and impurities from the skin, leaving it clean and refreshed. Rhassoul clay also helps to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity. It is also effective in treating acne and other skin conditions. Rhassoul clay can also be used as a hair mask to cleanse and condition the hair.
Watermelon and Argan oil used by Turkish women
Watermelon and argan oil are two of the most popular beauty ingredients used by Turkish women. Watermelon is rich in vitamins A, B6, C and Lycopene, which help to hydrate and nourish the skin. It also contains antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage. Argan oil is a natural oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree in Morocco. It is rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, which help to moisturise and nourish the skin.
