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.

In the souks of Fes, Marrakech and Essaouira, the attar (herbalist-grocer) displays herbs, spices and oils in sacks and bottles.

Once a week in the hammam: apply akkar fassi to damp skin or hair, then rinse well.
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.
Watch how your skin or hair responds and stop if any irritation appears.

Moderation first; herbs do not replace a varied diet.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women, children and anyone on medication: ask a doctor first.
Patch-test oils and skin products on a small area; avoid the eyes.
Store cool and dry, out of reach of children.
