A simple routine with propolis

• Read the label carefully, keep the original pack and don't use propolis in any way other than stated.
• Propolis can be combined with hammam staples such as black soap and the kessa glove.
• Keep it simple: one or two regular steps beat many irregular ones.
• Watch how your skin or hair responds and stop if any irritation appears.

Quality and storage: propolis

• Keep propolis in an airtight container away from light, heat and moisture.
• Always use a clean, dry spoon.
• Buy enough for a few weeks so it stays fresh and fragrant.
• Choose a product with a clear origin and a label showing ingredients, size and date.
