Entrepreneur Salima Issaoui on her evening ritual

▫️Body Care // Beauty entrepreneur Salima Issaoui (@salissaoui) on her evening ritual.

"My nighttime beauty routine starts in the living room. I make myself a good herbal infusion—usually a blend of roses, sage, lavender, calendula, cornflower and poppy.

Then I prepare a bucket with ice, water, a few tea tree essential oil drops and ghassoul and exfoliate my feet with a traditional Moroccan mud tool.

This is a remedy my mother taught me to help my body calm down after a busy day. She also says it’s why women in my family don’t have varicose veins—I’m not sure about that, but it sure feels great.

These days, since I’m feeling a bit homesick, I replaced the tea tree for cedarwood atlas, which in addition to having great antifungal, restorative, and detoxifying properties smells like home. I leave my feet in the bucket for as long as it takes me to drink my herbal infusion.

Afterwards, I massage my feet with rose oil from Morocco..."
