Ghassoul: An Ancestral Moroccan Beauty Secret

1. The History of Ghassoul
Ghassoul, also known as “rhassoul,” is a natural clay of volcanic origin that has been a cornerstone of Moroccan beauty rituals for centuries. Extracted from the Atlas Mountains, this rare mineral has been cherished by Berber communities for its cleansing and purifying properties. Traditionally, ghassoul was mixed with rose water, herbs, or essential oils and applied during hammam sessions, the public baths, to rejuvenate the skin and hair.
2. The Benefits of Ghassoul
Rich in minerals such as magnesium, silica, and potassium, ghassoul has purifying, softening, and toning properties. For the skin, it works as a gentle cleanser that removes impurities and excess oil without causing irritation. It is especially beneficial for sensitive or oily skin, as it helps reduce redness and clarifies the complexion. For the hair, ghassoul serves as a natural shampoo, eliminating impurities and excess sebum without stripping the scalp’s natural oils.
The result is hair that feels light, voluminous, and soft.

3. How to Use Ghassoul
* For the Face and Body: Mix a small amount of ghassoul powder with warm water until you achieve a smooth paste. Apply as a mask on clean skin, leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water, gently massaging to exfoliate.
* For the Hair: Dilute the ghassoul in warm water and apply it to your wet scalp and lengths. Leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Ghassoul will absorb excess sebum, leaving your hair fresh and soft.
