For this new edition of the Specials with Kika, Colombian fashion and beauty expert Kika Rocha visited the town of Tocaima in Cundinamarca, Colombia to try the famous mud baths and therapies at the health and beauty center of El Gran Pozo Azufrado. This sulfur, zulphated and carbonated mud has been used since pre-Hispanic times thanks to the Panche tribe. Its medicinal properties claim to have cured Creoles and Spaniards of their rheumatic ailments at the time of the conquest.
Rocha was not afraid to smear herself with this mud and experience its benefits. "Its sulfur spring has a high load of calcium, sulfur, magnesium and zinc," she explained as she massaged in circular movements all over her body and face with charcoal-colored medicinal mud. In addition to leaving skin soft, this treatment, which is only available in three parts of the world, has properties that help keep joints healthy.
To close with a flourish, Rocha ended with an oil massage by therapist Claudia Rodríguez. "This is a special oil that I prepare with grapes, carrots and basil", explains the expert about the ingredients that she uses to hydrate the skin after the sulfur mud treatment. "[I] have mixed it with other essential oils that give us perfect skin hydration."
