The Ritual of Hammam is one of the oldest cleansing traditions in the world. The steam bath experience from the East purifies both body and soul. Fragrant Eucalyptus and Rosemary are used to energise the mind and the body.
- Eucalyptus is synonymous with freshness the world over. Its cooling and invigorating properties are delightfully refreshing after exercise. Additionally it has beneficial qualities when you need a clear mind, for example in times of stress.
- Rosemary - In ancient times this herb was burned in sick chambers to purify the air due to her antibacterial properties. Rosemary is said to improve memory. The essential oils of rosemary are used for their aromatic fragrance and their revitalizing and warming effect in cosmetics. It soothes and supports the ability to repair the skin.
This ancient custom has inspired Rituals to create a modern Hammam collection for your home and this gift set that I was kindly sent is really lovely and it contains four purifying bestsellers so that you can can discover your own ritual at home.
Inside the set there is:
- Hammam Body Mud 70ml - Purifying body scrub containing Rhassoul Clay. The combination of mineral-rich Rhassoul Clay and refreshing Eucalyptus has a revitalising effect.
This scrub can also be used as an excellent deep-cleansing mask. Massage the scrub onto dry skin. Rinse off with warm water in the shower or bath
- Hammam Delight Shower Foam 50ml - Again the shower foam combines the aromatic and revitalising qualities of Refreshing Eucalyptus and Rosemary.
I am a big fan of these shower foams, a little goes a long way and they always smell incredible.
- Hammam Olive Secret Shower Paste 70ml - With its blend of refreshing Eucalyptus and pure olive oil, your skin will be left feeling hydrated and soft.
You can use our Hammam Olive Secret not only to cleanse your skin, but also to prepare it for exfoliating.
- Hammam Body Lotion 70ml - As part of the Rituals Hammam range, the Spark of Hammam body lotion contains stimulating eucalyptus and energising rosemary which will revive the body and soul.
This light yet intensive moisturiser is easily absorbed by the skin and perfect for your morning or evening Ritual. Gently massage over skin for a silky soft refreshing feeling.
What a love about this set is the scent, it is so refreshing, it is just brilliant if you have a cold because the Eucalyptus helps clear those sinuses and the Body Mud, which happens to be my favourite from the set, is one that can be used as a mask on dry skin and it just leaves your skin feeling so clean, cleansed and soft to the touch.
