Rhassoul Clay
If you have ever visited a traditional Moroccan Hammam, you may have come across Rhassoul clay. This natural mineral-rich clay has been used in Moroccan beauty rituals for generations and is an important part of many traditional Hammam experiences.
At Casa Spa, our Rhassoul Clay Hammam combines the warmth of the Hammam with traditional cleansing and exfoliation rituals, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
What Is Rhassoul Clay?
Rhassoul, also known as Ghassoul, is a natural clay traditionally sourced from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. It has long been used in Moroccan beauty and bathing rituals, particularly for cleansing the skin and hair.
When mixed with water, the clay forms a smooth paste that can be applied to the body as a mask. Its natural texture makes it a popular ingredient in traditional beauty treatments.
Why Is Rhassoul Clay Used in a Hammam?
Rhassoul clay is valued for its role in traditional Moroccan skincare rituals. When applied as a body mask, it forms part of a relaxing treatment that complements the cleansing and exfoliation stages of a Hammam.
Some reasons it remains popular include:
A traditional cleansing ritual: Rhassoul clay is used as part of a body-cleansing routine.
A pampering experience: Applying a clay mask adds another relaxing step to your Hammam treatment.
A complement to exfoliation: In a traditional Hammam, clay treatments can follow cleansing and exfoliation.
A moment to unwind: The mask provides an opportunity to slow down and enjoy some well-deserved time for yourself.
Every skin type is different, so it is worth mentioning any sensitivities or concerns to your therapist before your treatment.
What Happens During a Rhassoul Clay Hammam?
At Casa Spa, our Rhassoul Clay Hammam is designed to bring together traditional Moroccan rituals in one relaxing experience.
Your treatment includes:
Hammam steam: Begin with the warmth of the Hammam.
Black soap polish: Organic black soap infused with Argan oil is applied as part of the cleansing ritual.
Full-body scrub: A traditional Kessa glove is used to exfoliate the skin.
Rhassoul clay mask: A full-body Ghassoul mud mask completes the clay treatment.
Shower and relaxation: Rinse off, unwind and enjoy traditional Moroccan tea.
Our Rhassoul Clay Hammam lasts one hour and costs £65 per person.
Is a Rhassoul Clay Hammam Right for You?
If you enjoy traditional beauty rituals and want to experience more than a standard body scrub, a Rhassoul Clay Hammam could be a lovely option.
It is also worth considering if you are looking for a different way to spend some time on yourself, enjoy a relaxing spa visit or try a traditional Moroccan treatment for the first time.
If you have sensitive or irritated skin, allergies or a skin condition, let the spa know before booking so you can discuss whether the treatment is suitable for you.
