A short guide to akkar fassi: where it comes from, how Moroccan homes use it and what to keep in mind.
Akkar fassi (العكار الفاسي)
Akkar fassi is a traditional red colour from Fez for cheeks and lips.
How to use: External use: dampen a fingertip and apply lightly to cheeks or lips. Not to be eaten.
Making room for akkar fassi in your habits
- Once a week in the hammam: apply akkar fassi to damp skin or hair, then rinse well.
- Watch how your skin or hair responds and stop if any irritation appears.
- Akkar fassi 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.
