Golden Hammam
A newly launched full-body experience that begins with a cleansing golden scrub, followed by smearing a golden mask on the entire body and simultaneously applying the Pink Hair nourishing treatment to revitalise the scalp. The Hammam experience ends with applying a golden moisturiser and shimmery gold powder to the body using a soft massage to increase the skin’s elasticity and improve blood circulation.
