The multi-mask consists of applying Rhassoul shampoo, made with soap stories clay for example, to the roots and an organic moisturizing oil or butter to the tips.

In facial care

By exfoliating face and body

If you have dry skin, you will need a moisturizing mask, in this case you will have to turn to a vegetable oil rich in fatty acids, such as jojoba for example. As for the hydrosol, we recommend the poppy one which softens and hydrates dry and sensitive skin.

For skin with imperfections, we recommend a purifying and detoxifying mask which will help regulate excess sebum. To do this, simply mix Rhassoul with a little white willow hydrosol and add a few drops of Tea Tree essential oil. Be careful with essential oils, always refer to the contraindications and the dosage, they vary from one essential oil to another. You can also try the mask recipe for acne-prone skin from Naturellement Lyla. Once your personalized mask is ready, you can apply it to clean skin using a brush (or your fingers, it works great too!). Leave the mask on for ten minutes, being careful that it does not dry out. When you make a face mask that contains clay, remember to moisturize your mask as soon as it dries, with a mist of water or with the hydrosol you used to make it. Clay tends to dry out quickly and could absorb all the moisture from your face.
