The Rituals
A practice, not a routine.
I
The Morning Veil
Hemp Seed Serum pressed into damp skin, sealed with a breath of argan. Three minutes.
II
The Hammam
Black soap, steam, prickly pear gommage in long upward sweeps, cool rinse. A weekly devotion.
III
The Hour of Quiet
Shea balm warmed between the palms, drawn through ends of hair before sleep.
IV
The Sunday Anointing
A single drop of argan along the brow, the lash, the lip — a memory of the orchard.
