Qasil Powder Benefits: A Simple Somali Ritual for Skin, Hair, and Body Care

Life can get hectic, and self-care often slips down the to-do list. Between work, responsibilities, and everything else, finding time for ourselves can feel impossible. But I've discovered something that helps me slow down and press pause, even on the busiest days—Qasil powder. 🌿

What is Qasil Powder?


Qasil powder is an ancient Somali beauty ritual, made from one simple, all-natural ingredient: gob leaves. Passed down through generations, this humble powder has incredible benefits for your skin, hair, and body. It's simple, effective, and the perfect solution for those of us looking for a no-fuss, all-natural beauty routine.

Qasil Powder Benefits

While it may seem like just another ingredient, Qasil powder packs a powerful punch when it comes to skincare. Here’s why it’s so effective:

  • Gentle Exfoliation: Qasil powder gently removes dead skin cells, revealing smoother, glowing skin. Perfect for those days when your skin needs a little extra love.
  • Deep Cleansing: It’s an excellent deep cleanser, helping to remove impurities and balance your skin, leaving it feeling fresh and purified.
  • Soothing Nourishment: It calms and hydrates, providing the soothing care your skin deserves after a long day or a busy week.

Qasil Powder for Skin, Hair, and Body

What I love most about Qasil powder is its versatility. It's not just able to work wonders as a face mask, gently exfoliating and cleansing the skin. It can also be used on your hair to nourish the scalp and promote healthy, shiny strands. And don't forget your body—Qasil is a fantastic all-over treatment, hydrating and softening the skin.

How to Use Qasil Powder in Your Ritual

Even when life is busy, it’s important to carve out time for yourself. My Qasil ritual is simple yet powerful—just mix the powder with water, apply it to your face, and let it work its magic. You can use it as a mask for a few minutes (you will feel it getting hard, which is my sign to wash it off) to exfoliate and cleanse or apply it to your body and hair for a nourishing boost.

This simple ritual is a great way to reconnect with yourself, press pause, and give your skin,body and hair the care they deserve.
