I've been using L'occitane hand cream forever. My hands are left incredibly soft as I use this before bedtime. Actually anytime is the right time for massaging your hands with it. If you want to experience a first class treat for your hands, pick this one. The almond scent is a real treat as well. It's almost like a bit of aromatherapy which is another plus. All the reasons when you need one of those "ahhh moments" Couldn't we all close our eyes and take a deep breath. You'll love it!
