If you have the time, be sure to treat yourself to a massage at any one of their spas.

Real review:

“The hand cream is a delight. Its formula is soft and creamy and doesn’t leave any greasy film on the hands. The texture is comforting and helps dry skins. I love to use it throughout the day. By cons, it’s not the product that I carry in my handbag because the 75ml tube is too big. This cream there has nevertheless found its place on my desk !”
