Skin is your body´s largest organ and is the one that suffers the contact with the world the most. It is a very common thing to overlook this and not taking proper care of our own skin. That is exactly why a Moroccan bath is what you need in order to revert that situation. This ancient technique is completely dedicated to the well fare of your skin. It does so by liberating toxins, regulating temperature and the fluid balance. Read on and find out which is the best Moroccan bath center in Dubai.
What is a Moroccan Bath?
A Moroccan bath is an ancient tradition that started in that country, Morocco, but has since spread throughout Europe and the world. Since its creation, it has embraced technology improvements in such a way that it has not only enhanced its efficiency in results, but also in relaxation.
A Moroccan bath is a cleansing experience that utilizes steam and ancient Moroccan exfoliating techniques to remove all toxins from your body. These techniques have been used and perfected by locals for centuries and are still being used today. Moroccans have these kinds of baths as often as they can, which is usually once a week.
Moroccan bath is also known as Hammam bath and, according to recent studies it might have healthy results beyond the relaxation and are related to the liberation of potentially harmful toxins. If these are not removed from your skin, they might cause severe damage to pores. Releasing toxins through your skin is healthy by itself because the ones that stay inside can become potentially dangerous to your organism.
What to Expect in a Moroccan Bath?
The Moroccan bath experience is quite unique and is done through three simple steps. It has a deeply relaxing effect on people and it is guaranteed that once you try it, you will become a fan instantaneously.
When you arrive to the Moroccan bath facility, you will be given a fine robe made of silk or any derivate to put over your underwear. There are places that sell disposable underwear to the clients and you can take that option or you can just bring an extra pair of your own.
Once you are ready, a specialist will lead the way and show you your private steam room. The entire process takes about one hour. During that hour, these are the three steps that you will go through: The Rinsing Ritual The Rinsing Ritual
1.The Rinsing Ritual
This is the first part of the Moroccan bath and can very well be considered the preparation for it. You will be taken to a hot shower and given a true black Moroccan soap that has olive oil among many other ingredients and will help the first stage of cleansing and nourishing your skin. The interaction of this specific soap with the warmth of the water will make your muscles, mind and skin ease and relax.
In this first step, you are requested to apply the black soap to your skin and hair alike in an effort to clean and relax your entire body. Once you are done, you are ready for step number two, the steam.

1.The Steam
Once you are inside your private steam room (it might or might not be the same room as the rinsing ritual), you will find a huge stone or concrete piece in the center. You have to either sit down or lie on your back over it. Don´t worry, it is a warmed piece, you won´t feel cold at all.
This is the point in the massage session in which that black soap works its wonder and those pores open widely to release all toxins accumulated in the past time. Especially if you live in a city with a big smog condensation or chemicals in the air, those can really pile up in your skin. With the hot steam of water pouring in, you will feel something close to your skin “breathing” through the open pores. It is a great process that will moisturize your skin deeply and also relax your muscles, increase blood circulation and relieve the pain.
Additionally, your hair will get a great organic treatment and look better than ever. Once the steam part is done, then you are ready for part three: exfoliating
1.The Exfoliating
This is most people´s favorite part of the Moroccan bath, the part of the rubbing and scrubbing. Once you are done with the steam relaxation, a therapist will exfoliate your skin. Most therapists do it with mittens vigorously throughout your body. All the dirt and clogging you might have in your skin will be gone from the fingers of these specialists.
This rubbing will also improve your skin´s tone and firmness while stimulating the production of collagen creating an extended-youth kind of effect. You will not only feel better after stage three of the Moroccan bath, you will also look much better.
After stage three is done, it is time for a mildly cold to cold water shower to close the pores and get them ready to face reality once again. By this moment you will be invigorated, energized and fresh as a leaf of lettuce.
Optional – A Massage Session
Some people like booking an extra session of massage after going through the experience of Moroccan bath to potentiate the effects on them and make them last much longer. Our suggestion is to choose a spa that can fit both in one visit.
