How to use Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask

We have been receiving lots of requests regarding "How to use Ghassoul Clay". So we decided to prepare a brief "how to guide". In two pages it shows exactly how to use this wonderfully detoxifying and deep cleaning clay from the Atlas Mountains.   The process is so simple and I believe much better than all those pre-prepared masks you get in tubes or jars.  Why - because they contain so many additives, preservatives etc. to keep it from going bad.  Ours will never go bad because it is pure clay - nothing else!  You can keep it for a million years if you avoid contact with any moisture.

Simply mix a small amount of clay with water and apply a smooth layer.    Your face will feel tingly as the Ghassoul clay is drawing out all the impurities and toxins from your skin.  Before allowing it to completely dry rinse with warm water.  Others will tell you to dry completely, but I find it too hard to remove and potentially irritates the skin unnecessarily.

Once rinsed you may find your skin to be a bit reddish - don't worry that is only your skin telling you that it has been well and truly detoxed.  It goes a way in a few minutes.  Your skin will feel clean and toned.  This is best to do at night to allow your skin to repair before the morning.   Below are a few pictures just to explain a bit better...

Step 1 -  Take one or two tablespoons of powder and place in a bowl
   
Step 2 -  Add water to make a smooth paste -



Step 3 -  Mix to make a thick pancake batter

Step 4 - Apply with a brush, spatula or fingers

Step 5 - Apply a thin layer and leave to almost dry



 I hope you will try Zakia's Morocco Ghassoul Clay from deep in the Atlas Mountains.  It is truly a unique experience.

Pigs may or may not fly, but goats really do climb trees!

We have having fun with some new Video Shorts - only 15 seconds long that tell a bit about our products and our company.  Here is one I love - it shows one of the very first steps in the traditional harvesting process of Argan Nut for the creation of edible or cosmetic Argan Oil. Pigs may or may not fly, but goats certainly climb trees in Morocco.  And why you ask do they climb trees - well one tree in particular.  The Argan Spinosa - or Argan Tree that is native only to Western Morocco.   Imagine, no where else on earth doe this unique and ancient tree successfully grow.   And it is endangered due largely to the encroachment of the Sahara, but also stress from burning for local communities farming and heating needs.  This large area is now a UNESCO protected environment and communities have found harvesting the nuts from these trees is far more valuable than they could have ever imagined.  But, I digress..... The goats so love the Argan ...

The Benefits of Castile Soap, particularly Moroccan Black Soap

The Benefits of Castile Soap, particularly Moroccan Black Soap – Soap is soap, you might think. But wait a minute – there is hard bar soap and liquid soap, milky and translucent soap, vegetable and soap made from animal by-products, and then there is Castile and, particularly trendy, Moroccan black soap, which has become very popular among users of vegan and organic cosmetics. Beldi (Arabic for “traditional”) soap, or black soap, has been used by Moroccan people for centuries and is part of their bathing routines even today. This moisturizing soap - not to be confused with African black soap - has played an important role in traditional Moroccan bathing and steam room rituals, among other skin detoxifying methods. Moroccans, who first apply Moroccan black soap on the damp skin, leave it on up to ten minutes, and then rinse to leave a smooth, clean texture.   This is followed by exfoliation using the so-called Kessa, a washcloth made of more or less coarse fabric, used to ...

Why Your Skin Needs Moisturizers and Moisturizing Soap

Why Your Skin Needs Moisturizers and Moisturizing Soap Your skin is the biggest organ that your body has. It works day and night to protect your body from the harms of the outside world. So it only makes sense that we should treat it right and keep it well protected, right? Unfortunately for most of us, we completely fail at this. We spend too long in the sun, use harsh products on our skin, and strip it of its protective layer by the drying soaps we use on a daily basis. Our Skin Needs Moisture to Protect Itself Moisture is the one thing that keeps our skin in tip-top shape by ensuring that the protective layer on the surface of our skin remains balanced and able to block out harmful bacteria. Over drying your skin can cause so many issues that can take a long time to heal and can sometimes leave permanent damage. Early signs of aging, acne, redness, and puffiness just to name a few. That’s why we always want to make sure we’re using moisturizing soap when cleansing a...
