At the Mai-Saa Northern Beauty Spa Launch Party
The Mai-Saa Northern Spa launch party took place recently in Lekki Phase 1. Mai-Saa Spa is a northern traditional spa that allows you arrive into a rich world of culture, calm and tranquility. The beauty Spa was borne out of the need to share the northern Nigerian age-long beauty secrets with people of diverse cultures and traditions.
Guests learnt about the various services available such as Dukhaan/ Duhrot (Smoke bath): this is a private beauty ritual using incense-laced smoke to detoxify the skin also leaving it perfumed for days. This treat detoxifies and perfumes the body and also tightens the private areas of a woman.
Dilka/Kruhkum (Turmeric scrub): Dilka is a northern traditional scrub that leaves the skin exfoliated, soft, glowing and fragranced. DILKA and KRUHKUM constitute a major part of “gyran jiki” {beautification phase of wedding preparations}
Halawa (sugar waxing/body sugaring): This traditional sugar recipe is one of the most ancient forms of hair removal. The removal is gentle yet exfoliating treatment that leaves your skin smooth and sweet after the process.
Lalle (Henna/Mehndi): An ancient form of body adornment, henna art is a cultural practice. Henna tattooing is used as a popular form of expressions for luck and happiness and can be found in many ceremonial practices, including marriages, births and Blessings.
