Zakia's Morocco Moroccan Rhassoul (Ghassoul) Beauty Mask, Rose Scent, 8 oz | Organic, Purifying, Face & Body Mask

Zakia makes a very high quality clay. It is a relatively small container, but you will be able to use it for many months. A couple of things to keep in mind: Just because Ghassoul is right for me, doesn't mean it is right for you. I have very sensitive, dry skin. I moisturize obsessively throughout the day. I have very mild, occasional acne. Teenagers or anyone with severe breakouts and oily skin, may want to go straight to the Calcium Bentonite Clay. However, if you have very sensitive skin or dry skin in addition to severe acne, you may want to experiment with the Ghassoul Clay as well. Ghassoul is my favorite of the many different types of healing clays. Mix the clay with water and apply to your face or any external area you like. I don't have an exact science for the clay to water ratio, but you may try a one to one ratio to start and add more clay or water depending on how thick you want it to be. When you mix it, it will turn it into a smooth, silky paste. Put it on your skin for 5-10 minutes. If you see or feel it drying before you want to take it off, I would mist your face with water. If you know you have sensitive or dry skin, I'd try 5 minutes to make sure you don't irritate your face. Depending on the color of your skin, you may see redness, but that's normal unless it persists more than half an hour after the treatment. Ghassoul makes my skin unbelievably soft and supple. Do keep in mind that, you really should moisturize after you do a mask. I would put the mask on at night before a shower and then put on a heavy moisturizer to sleep. I like using coconut oil and Shea butter mixed together with sea buckthorn oil (especially the extremely delicate under eye skin). It will feel greasy, but it is extremely good for your skin! I promise if you use a Ghassoul Clay mask even on it's own you will see results. Smaller pores and Baby soft skin! When you pair it with a moisturizer before bed, you will wake up with the best skin you've ever had. I use it once a week as a facial/neck mask and I use it as body wash everyday. I use a coffee mug and a silicone spatula to mix it. **DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS* Forgive, the obnoxious capital letters, but it is very important because the clay will absorb the metal and you don't want that. I love using as a body wash as well. You can do it the same way as you would mix the facial mask (one to one water to clay ratio and adjust according to your preferences) and put the mixture into a squeeze bottle. Just shake the bottle a bit to make sure it is mixed properly and then use it like you would a regular body wash. Keep in mind that it will work better if you can leave it on your skin for a minute or two. Remember, you need to use plastic without BPA because it will leech into your mixture and that would be a very bad thing. You can leave the mixture in the shower and change it once a week or so. You can also use the mixture to wash your hands as you would a regular hand soap as well. Ghassoul Clay is an amazing solution for cleaning your skin without exposing yourself to carcinogens and it will save you tons of money. I hope you all give it a try. It's worth it.

I seriously love Ghassoul(otherwise known as roussoul) clay! I happened to buy some off an herbal website years ago and was impressed with my skin after one application. I decied to try this brand to save some money and I was not disappointed! It comes in a plastic 8 oz container with brief instructions printed on the side. Its great to make on its own with a bit of filtred water mix in to make a paste and it leaves my skin super soft and glowing but I like to jazz it up a bit. Here is my recipe that leaves my skin radiant clear and clears out my clogged pores. It works better than any store bought mask I have ever tried. I-2 tsp ghassoul clay in a small plastic container with a lid(you will need to store the leftovers in the fridge) 1-2 tsp of bentonite clay(I use Aztec Secret amazing stuff do not skip this it will seriously pull out any gunk) All or any combination of the following items: 1-2 tsp French green clay Tumeric powder(yes its not just to cook with its amazing for the skin) Pure vitamin E oil Vitamin C powder Neem powder(if you have oily or acne prone skin mix it all up with half filtered water and half lemon juice or Braggs apple cider vinegar(great for toning and clearing out the skin) Slather the goo on your face lay down and relax and after 20 minutes your face with feel like its being sucked off(if you used the Indian clay that is) I like to remove it in the shower but if not remove it with a Hot wet wash cloth and rince of the remaining dried mask with lots of water. (it dries on very firm) This stuff is amazing and trust me you wont find a better or pure mask at the store. The clay lasts forever I store it with all my other herbal goodies in a basket in my closet and it lasts for a long time!

I was skeptical at first because the texture is slimy feeling and leaves a weird residue. But after the first use I was amazed at how different my skin looked. The texture was softer my inflammation was almost completely gone the redness from the acne went all the way down my pores my FREAKING pores shrunk like I looked liked I had the blurry filter on. I couldn’t stop looking at my face lol I was really baffled how well it worked on my skin. It gets very very tight on the skin I would do a small patch test to make sure your not allergic. I kept checking small areas to make sure I was not reddening up or developing a rash and left on 20 min periodically checking my face. I got a little redness and itchiness on my neck but it went away within an hour after washing off. I’m hooked. I sprayed with a witch hazel/ tea tree toner after and iced my face then used a heavier moisturizer. Skin feels amazing. Also check the official website it’s cheaper on there! I looked after I got the mask I needed to see what other products they offered lol 10/10 recommend

Works really well! I like to mix 2:1 ratio of this and bentonite clay and add water or apple cider vinegar until its a paste. Ive been using it as a face mask but also as a tummy mask to help fix/tighten the loose skin from pregnancy lol it seems to be working tho!

I purchased this on accident. I didn't realize I was buying a powder that I had to mix myself. I decided what the heck, why not check it out. I received it on Wednesday, it is now Monday. I used it 2x this week. Maybe a premature review, if I find my mind changes, I'll edit this. Mixing the clay yourself isn't the pain I thought it would be. Like other reviewers, I did have issues the first batch with making it too thin, then too thick, then having too much. But you can store it for your next mask so it's ok to accidentally make too much. The instructions here on Amazon (in the pics for the product) say 1 Large Tablespoon to 5 tablespoons of water. DO NOT DO THIS. You will end up with too much, and too thin a product. It dripped right off my face at those ratios. 1 tablespoon is enough for 2 masks. If you don't want to store excess, I recommend half a tablespoon, and not 1:5 ratio. I would say try a 1:4 ratio and go from there to what feels good to you. It says like a pancake batter, that's a pretty good idea of what it should look like. The product did leave my face red after, but I have super sensitive skin, nearly everything leaves my face red after. What was important is it didn't leave it dry and itchy and it did not burn. It left it soft. And once the redness went down, I noticed my blackheads were dramatically reduced. After my 2nd application a few days later, my blackheads are gone entirely and my pores are noticeably tighter. If you have sensitive skin, I would caution against using it before going somewhere because of the redness. Otherwise, I love it. And I don't think I'll be able to go back to a premixed mask again.

I had been using NOW brand rhassoul clay, and WOW this brand is so much better. I am blown away. I was off put because this clay looks sort of gray, but then thinking about the origins of ghassoul clay, I realized that this was probably a sign of quality. Now I'm almost suspicious that NOW brand is just red kaolin because this clay mask was SOOO slippery and moisturizing when I was washing it off compared to what I'm used to. The day after I used this mask for my face, my skin was GLOWING as if I'd just used a highlighter moisturizer. When I used it on my hair it was shiny and so full of body! I can't say enough good things about this clay.

So far it has been good, it cleans my face well, and it feels good on skin. I hope it is what I wanted.

Came shrink wrapped. Directions on the back. I love masks. I make my own and buy them for different ailments. I have heard alot about this clay. It was super easy to mix up. I poured out about two tablespoons then used distilled water pouring a little at a time then mixing with my fan brush Til I got a creamy consistency. Left my mask on for 20 minutes. I felt a tightening effect. I dermaplaned my skin before hand and used an organic apple cider vinegar toner. Dermaplaning can be done at home using the Tinkle brand eyebrow razor which u can purchase off Amazon or ur local beauty store. Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells. You are basically shaving your face with a little pressure. This helps the mask work more thoroughly. I could feel this mask pulling the yuck out of my skin. My skin after the mask came off was so soft and glowing. I had used coconut oil on my face and unfortunately for me I broke out. I know everyone says it is great for acne prone skin but not mine. I read I need to mix my organic coconut oil with castor oil!! Well this helped in one use. I am thrilled with this. I cant wait to use it on my hair. This is a staple now in my mask collection. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to banish acne!! I am impressed!! I have to say this and my pineapple papaya enzyme mask and my homemade pumpkin enzyme mask are my favorites!! I will use this once a week or more to keep my acne away!! Great product great price!! Will buy again. Also there are alot of masks in this jar. I am a raving fan!
