A Moroccan bath — or hammam — is one of the most loved beauty rituals in Abu Dhabi, and for good reason. It deep-cleanses, exfoliates and leaves your skin unbelievably smooth and glowing.
Here's what a Moroccan bath is, what happens during one, its benefits — and where to enjoy a private, ladies-only Moroccan bath at Green Velvet Ladies Salon in Abu Dhabi.
What happens in a Moroccan bath
- Warm steamGentle steam opens the pores and softens the skin to prepare it.
- Black soap (beldi)Traditional olive-based black soap is applied and left to work.
- Kessa exfoliationA kessa glove buffs away dead skin, revealing fresh, smooth skin.
- Rinse & maskA warm rinse, then a nourishing clay or Moroccan mask.
- Moisturise & glowRich moisturiser locks in softness for a lasting healthy glow.
The benefits of a Moroccan bath
Beyond feeling wonderfully relaxing, a Moroccan bath deeply exfoliates to remove dead skin, unclogs pores, boosts circulation, and leaves skin softer, brighter and more even. It's the perfect reset — before an occasion, or simply to treat yourself.
