How to Prepare for a Moroccan Hammam?

The hammam is a wonderful experience for the body and mind. But if it's your first time, or if you simply want to optimize your session, a few simple preparations can make all the difference. Here is how to properly prepare before your appointment at BE CUTE SPA in Rabat.

What should you bring?

The good news is that in a quality spa, you hardly need anything!

Linens: We provide a complete bath set (clean towels, bathrobe, sandals).
Products: Black soap, kessa glove (new), ghassoul, and shampoo are included in our rituals.
Your swimsuit: It is recommended to bring a swimsuit (preferably two-piece) or spare underwear, although we also offer disposable underwear for optimal comfort.

Hydration before the session

The hammam will make you sweat to eliminate toxins. It is therefore crucial to arrive well hydrated. Drink water regularly throughout the day preceding your treatment. Avoid heavy meals right before entering the heat.

Avoid shaving and waxing on the same day

This is an often-forgotten piece of advice! The kessa glove scrub, essential during a Traditional Hammam, is vigorous. If you have just shaved or waxed, your skin will already be sensitive and the heat coupled with the scrub could cause irritation.

Arrive early to relax

The goal of the hammam is to release stress. If you arrive rushing, your body will take longer to calm down. We always advise arriving 10 minutes before your appointment time. This gives you time to change calmly and drink a glass of water.

After the hammam: time to rest

Preparation also includes how you plan the rest of your day. After the heat and the scrub, you will feel very relaxed, perhaps even a bit tired. Do not plan any intense physical activity. In fact, it is the ideal time to complete the experience with a relaxing massage.
