Moroccan ghassoul for the body!

Hello dolls! so today I want to talk about moroccan ghasoul, I talked about this a few months ago but it was for facials only! today I have PURE mudd moroccan ghassoul straight from the Morocco and its for the body. This can be purchased at any Moroccan hamam (in morocco) or at the Attar (the herp man in morocco). 

 and this is what it looks like on the inside, they are just like mud rocks.

 each one is different size, you can take as many as you like, it all depends on how much ghassoul paste you want. for me here I only took one to show you guys how its done.

 I than mixed it with warm water, and it dissolves and mixes with the water

 You can use a spoon, a tool or simply your fingers and mix it around to make it easier, dont put too much water because you would rather have it be thick paste than all watery, when its completely dissolved and you find it to be too thick and you dont like that you can add little water! remember its better thick than watery! also, less is always more :D

You then take the ghassoul paste and apply it to your body, leave it there untill it is completely dry and hard, and than wash it off! enjoy the softness and how clean your skin will look and feel :D

Natural make-up remover!

eye make up removers always made my eyes red, irritated and hurt really bad! 

lucky for me I learned a little secret! 

OLIVE OIL!!!!!

yes, I said olive oil. natural (organic) olive oil removes allllllll my eye make-up, including pencil, liquid eyeliner, eye shadows, mascara, waterproof mascara. You name it, it removes it.

some people may say its gross, but actually eye makeup removers contain, many "gross" chemicals and ingredients that come from stuff you do NOT want on your face hehe. 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, make sure it is 100% olive oil. like extra virgin olive oil, nothing for frying food or anything. just organic olive oil, the rest MAY contain chemicals and may sting/hurt if you get it in your eyes. read the lapels carefully.

what you need.....

make-up (on) lol

olive oil, here I am using organic moroccan oil. straight from my mom's uncle's olive trees hehe. I put some in a small empty container which I got from walmart :) 

cotton (yes I cunt my nails, YES I need to re-paint them LOL)

Put a tiny amount of oil on the cotton, less is more

gently wipe your eye make up off. keep eyes closed, try not to get into the eye for this may cause irritation.  it doesn't for me, but everyone's body react differently

works in seconds! works like magic. it is so much more healthier than chemical makeup removers, it works so much better than chemical makeup removers, and it is much cheaper of course! and no it does not clog your pores, be sure to wash off the access oil, specially if you have oily skin like me! ENJOY

Moroccan ghassoul; "An ancient beauty of face and body care"

Hello loveliesssss!!!! okay so today I will talk to you about ghasoul! there isnt a PURE Moroccan women that hasnt used ghasoul! and there isnt a single "Hamam maghribi" that doesnt sell it. I must admit, I used to HATE when my mother would put skin ghasoul on me when i was little, ah and the hair ghasoul nonono!

Ghasoul is also known as Moroccan lava clay.

Here im using this kind, I purchased this from Dubai. (ironically) let me know if you live in UAE and is interested in purchasing, I will give you the exact address of the place. 

It looks like a powder 

Here I will use a small amount since im going to demonstrate on my hands. 

Use more if you want to apply to your face, and even more if you want to apply to your body.

 Mix with warm (not hot) water

 Stir, until you have smooth mud

 Rub the mud on your skin (face, body, skin etc.)

 Leave mud for 10 to 15 min. it should feel dry and hard, almost like henna when it dries!

 Wash off with warm water, remove completly and towel dry. your skin should feel A LOT more cleaner, tighter and even look lighter. apply at LEAST once a week :) enjoy

Pour le soins du corp et du visage: 

Melanger le ghassoul avec de leau tiede afin dobtenir une pate. appliquer celle-ci sur peau humide laisser secher entre 10 et 15 minutes, puis rincer!

للعناية بالجسم و بشرة الوجه

اخلطي ١٠٠ غرام من طين الغسول مع الماء او ماء الورد حتى تحصلي على مزيج خاثر ثم ضعيه على جميع جسمك و بشرة الوجه كقناع ويترك لمدة ١٥ دقيقة ثم يغسل بالماء الفاتر

Traveling overseas?!? lets talk SKIN!

One of the most IMPORTANT factors to looking as beautiful as you can be is skin!
healthy skin=b e a u t y.

Now, if you are traveling by plane the last thing you want is your skin looking awful after long flights!

No matter how much make-up you apply, with what i like to call "airplane skin" nothing will look good! and if you are a traveler you will know what I am talking about! and I personally HATE HATE HATE the feeling of "airplane skin"!and lets not talk about the way it looks/feels and the color! agh!



REASONS FOR "AIRPLANE SKIN" 

• Airplanes recycle air! (gross!) 
• since this air is already used, it is bad for your skin and can leave your skin super duper DRY! :( 

SO YOU WANT TO ARRIVE BEAUTIFUL! FOLLOW THESE EASY STEPS :)

• WATER WATER WATER WATER - drink plenty of it!!!!!!
•  use moisturizer, apply more than you will noramlly apply! dont worry, even if you have the oiliest skin it will most likely dry
• make please sure the moisturizer  is the perfect size and is allowed in the plane that way you avoid security throwing it out! 

•  Use a hydating mask!  leave on for 30 min. 
• feel free to use as much as needed, the longer the plane ride the dryer your skin will be! 
• Dont use make up before arriving the destination! 
• if your a person who cannot go out with out make-up wear large sunglasses to cover your eyes

 

• I also like to go in my sweatpants and a comfy top! especially if its a LONG flight
• when you arrive destination, use the airport bathroom to get your self ready! 
• apply makeup, fix your hair/scarf, make sure you smell well! 
• change into nicer clothes or a nicer abaya/jelabiya
• be sure to use blush to bring that natural healthy glow to your face! remmeber, less is more :) 

BAM! your are now ready to go out there and see your family in the freshest  face out of the airport

 P.S have a WONDERFUL and safe flight!!!
