There is nothing I love more than going to the spa for a relaxing procedure, but sometimes it is impossible for one reason or another. In my experience, the next best thing is an at home procedure done with care and the correct products. Light some fragrant candles, draw a bath (or a hot shower,) make a cup of delicious anti-oxidant filled tea, and play some jazz. But the most important part of you at home spa night is the quality of the product that you are using. There is a reason that the nicest spas in the world aren't using $5 bath soaks and $7 body lotions, and if you expect your at home spa service to be as amazing as one of these procedures, make sure to splurge a little on your tools and products. Personally, I can't wait for my next at home spa procedure because I will be using Red Flower Jasmine Rose Rhassoul Clay from their famous hammam line.
Listen to this description from the Red Flower website-
"Wrap the body from head to toe in this detoxifying blend of rhassoul clay, and essential oils of rose, eglantine, jasmine, blue tansy, ylang-ylang and clove. rhassoul clay is a lava clay found only in eastern morocco, deep beneath the atlas mountains. its gentle astringent, stimulating, polishing and purifying effects help draw impurities from deep within, leaving the skin with a healthy balance and freshly smooth surface. blended with deep-sea algae, aloe vera extract and vitamin e, protective humectants to soften and hydrate. the skin is left detoxified, toned and balanced. inspired by the third step in the traditional progression experienced in the hammam. practiced for nearly one thousand years to heal, detoxify and release tension from the whole body. on the warm radiant heated marble floor of the hammam, the bather mixes powdered rhassoul clay with warm water and massages into hair, face, neck and whole body. heat penetrates deeply, encouraging perspiration to release toxins from the skin and organ systems. clay binds with these impurities and draws them deep from within. the bather rinses with several basins of steamy hot water poured over the top of the head. KEY INGREDIENT clay for potent detoxification binds with impurities in the skin’s pores and draws them out of the body. purified and mineral-rich, moroccan rhassoul clay, red lava clay, montmorillonite clay and bentonite clay are used to powerfully penetrate into the skin to lift away toxins leaving skin supple and pure. the positive cleansing action of clay and its potent detoxification benefits come from its dual property of adsorption and absorption. DIRECTIONS step out from under steaming water and spread rhassoul clay polish over entire body, face and neck. massage smooth texture of clay into body as euphoric scents of rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang warm the mind. clay begins to dry quickly with a slight cooling sensation, drawing out deep impurities. then under warm running water, slowly rinse. alternatively leave on and steep in a warm bath for a detoxifying soak. allow the clay to draw impurities from deep within, leaving the skin detoxified, toned and balanced.
