What can't a Hammam do?
The Process of a Hammam
The Hammam is a treatment that your body will thank you for. Not only is the experience one to remember, but along with it comes a multitude of benefits.
Let’s start with the process of a Hammam, you’ll begin in a dry, heat-filled room. Here, your body will adjust to the heat, your pores will open, and the sweat will remove the impurities from your body. You will then be lathered in black soap and your body will be buffed with a Kessa mitt. After being rinsed and dried you will be taken to a cooler resting room, where you can rehydrate with a refreshing Moroccan tea.
The Benefits of Hammam
Provides a Physical Detox
The Hammam allows us to go to a place of deep relaxation. The intense steam and heat reduce stress and anxiety. Alongside this, the massage will help you to ease tension and increase energy and alertness. The scents in the essential oils used help to relax the entire nervous system, which stimulates the body, improving mental sluggishness and reducing exhaustion.
Rehydrates and Nourishes the Skin
This Moroccan bath replenishes us with vitamins and minerals which results in intensely hydrated and nourished skin. The products used, for example, Ghassoul clay, allow the detoxing to take effect with unique absorption and extraction properties. The skin will feel firmer and more toned without a drying effect.
Helps with Acne Sufferers
This treatment benefits ailments such as Acne, Psoriasis, Eczema. The heat unclogs pores and eliminates toxins from the skin. The experience for acne sufferers is unmatched as it also regulates skin oil secretions which not only prevent acne but help scars and rosacea. Essential oils provide antiseptic properties which can heal the acne that has broken out and lead to healthier skin in the future.
Has Beautifying Properties
Using a Kessa mitt, dead skin and unwanted bacteria are removed in firm exfoliation. This will again clear pores whilst also giving the skin a healthy glow. The Hammam has also been known to have anti-aging properties. The steamy environment improves the elasticity of the skin making it appear youthful and restored.
Increases Quality of Sleep
The ritual consists of body and mind cleansing, it is difficult to find a treatment more relaxing and pampering. Thanks to all the stress reduction, you will feel mentally restored and balanced, making the sleep after a Hammam, the best night’s sleep of your life. Similarly, the use of essential oils can have a profound effect on our sleep.

This along with the hot steam is transformative to your body, restoring muscles and eliminating tension. It allows the muscles and organs to breathe better, and in turn, increases the organs’ elasticity.
