Layering the Amazigh way: cleanse, nourish, protect
Layering the Amazigh way: cleanse, nourish, protect
Long before the word layering became popular in skincare, the Amazigh women of the Atlas already practiced it. Their rituals followed a sacred sequence of cleansing, nourishing, and protecting, ensuring the skin was purified, strengthened, and shielded day after day.
Step 1: Cleanse to prepare the skin
The Amazigh ritual always began with cleansing, using infusions of plants or floral waters to wash away impurities. This step awakened the skin and prepared it to fully benefit from the next layers of care.
Step 2: Nourish with oils and serums
Once cleansed, the skin was fed with precious oils — argan, saffron, or prickly pear — known for their regenerative and illuminating properties. This step replenished moisture, restored balance, and revealed natural radiance.
Step 3: Protect with a rich cream
The final gesture sealed the ritual: applying a protective layer to lock in hydration and guard the skin against external stress. Traditionally, Amazigh women used natural butters and oils; today, this translates into nourishing creams.
This 3-step layering ritual was more than a technique — it was an ancestral philosophy of care, ensuring that every gesture built upon the previous one.
Today, Tislit Beauty reimagines this wisdom into its face rituals, scientifically refined while preserving their ancestral essence.
