Aker Fassi is a traditional Moroccan pigment, made from dried poppy petals, from the city of Fez. It has long been used as a natural-looking tint for lips and cheeks, and it also appears in some beldi black soaps.
How Aker Fassi is traditionally used
- As a lip and cheek stain: a small amount is dabbed on with a fingertip and blended for a soft, rosy colour.
- In black soap: the pigment is mixed into beldi black soap for a tinted, traditional hammam product.
How to apply it
- Start with clean, dry skin.
- Pick up a very small amount on a clean fingertip.
- Dab onto lips or cheeks and blend outward. Build colour gradually.
Patch test first
As with any new cosmetic, test a small amount on your inner arm and wait 24 hours before using it on your face. Stop using it if irritation occurs. Keep away from the eyes.
