About This Experience
Argan oil has been called "liquid gold" for good reason -- this extraordinary oil, produced from the nuts of the argan tree found only in the Souss Valley of southwestern Morocco, is one of the most valuable and versatile natural beauty ingredients in the world. Rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants, argan oil has been used by Berber women for centuries to nourish skin, strengthen hair, and protect against the harsh Moroccan climate. This one-and-a-half-hour comprehensive beauty treatment takes place in a serene riad spa in the medina, where candlelight, rose petals, and the scent of orange blossom create an atmosphere of gentle luxury. Your treatment begins with a warm argan oil hair mask: pure, cold-pressed argan oil is heated and massaged into your scalp and hair from root to tip, stimulating blood flow, strengthening follicles, and restoring shine and elasticity to dry or damaged hair. While the hair mask penetrates, your therapist performs a facial treatment using a sequence of argan-based products: a gentle cleanser, a prickly pear seed oil serum (even rarer and more precious than argan oil), a hydrating argan oil face mask, and a rich moisturiser infused with rose water. The facial includes a lymphatic drainage massage that reduces puffiness and promotes a natural glow. The session concludes with a full-body argan oil massage using a blend of pure argan with neroli and geranium essential oils, applied with long, flowing strokes that melt tension from tired muscles and leave your skin impossibly soft and subtly fragrant. You emerge with luminous skin, silky hair, and a deep sense of relaxation. A small bottle of pure argan oil is included as a take-home gift.
