Luxury Skincare Treatments that Truly Work. The Latest in Skincare Science with Repêchage

repechage facials - show your skin some love-

A skin care pioneer & spa industry veteran, esthetician and legend Repêchage Founder and President Lydia Sarfati changed the industry forever more than 35 years ago by pioneering a whole new concept where nature, specifically the sea, holds the key to the proper care of the skin. No one knows better than Sarfati when it comes to creating luxurious skin care backed by real science. It is for this reason Repêchage has won the hearts of connoisseurs all over the world: by combining highly effective skin care that also engages and appeals to the senses.

“A fully interactive experience is a must in beauty,” says Sarfati. “Products have to stimulate the senses, the ingredients have to be incredible and the results have to be impressive. Repêchage was specifically created to provide the most effective skin care using marine-based ingredients such as seaweeds, enjoyed in fully sensory spa experiences, and provided by estheticians who have an in-depth esthetic education.”

The organic seaweed, the number one ingredient in all her products, comes from the Brittany Coast of France. In addition, the beauty house is also sourcing its sustainably harvested EcoCert seaweed from waters in Maine. EcoCert seaweed extracts come with an ocean heritage bathing the skin with a special formula containing 12 vitamins, 42 trace elements and minerals, and over a dozen of amino acids. The clinically tested non-irritant products are gluten free, paraben free, and are not tested on animals.

We can take advantage from the many benefits of seaweed at home, but the best way to show your skin some love is to see an esthetician. Discover how you can make seaweed & science a part of your beauty regime…
