The story
In southern Morocco, Sahrawi women have used this deep-blue powder for generations to even out and brighten the complexion. It is inseparable from the indigo veils of the desert's "blue men".
In the hammam, it is mixed with rose water or black soap as a face and body mask. Its intense colour rinses off entirely, leaving only luminous skin.
How to use
Mix a teaspoon of nila with rose water into a runny paste. Apply to clean face or body, leave 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly.
