Developed by CEO and Founder of Repêchage Lydia Sarfati, these new treatments provide many of the benefits of full facial treatments in half the time by utilizing presaturated sheet masks to provide results in 30 minutes. The express facials can be used to supplement regular monthly full facial treatments, and they are able to be enjoyed without changing clothes or even during other services.
The Biolight Express Brightening Facial
One of the most common problems clients face are dark spots and uneven skin tone, due to environmental factors and aging. Dark spots or hyperpigmentation are the brown, gray or black spots that can appear on the skin, often accompanied by dull, uneven skin tone. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, hyperpigmentation can make clients look up to 20 years older.
This facial uses the Repêchage Biolight Brightening Sheet Mask to help create a luminous, flawless-looking complexion. This express, 30-minute treatment combines the latest in sheet mask biotechnology by using ingredients such as Arbutin, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid, and Oxidized Glutathione combined with Repêchage seaweed extracts. The Repêchage Biolight Express Brightening Facial will help sallow, dull skin with accumulated dead skin cells look rejuvenated, glowing and restored while helping to control the appearance of uneven tone. This treatment is great to use in conjunction with the Repêchage Biolight Luminex Mask, a creamy Kaolin Clay and Glycolic Acid (AHA) hybrid peel. This new facial can also be used as a supplement to the monthly Repêchage Biolight Miracle Facial with Glyco-Sea Glycolic Peel when skin needs to look bright and luminous fast.
The Red-Out Express Soothing Facial
Over aggressive skin treatments, such as chemical peels and other exfoliants can lead to sensitized skin, compounded by environmental factors such as sunlight, wind, excessive heat or cold. Sensitive skin can be genetic or can be caused by exposure to sensitizing ingredients such as harsh chemicals, fragrance, allergens, harsh soaps and sunscreens.
The Repêchage Red-Out Express Soothing Facial helps to reduce the appearance of redness caused by the environment and stress. This express professional treatment utilizes the blend of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and antioxidants found in seaweed extracts. These are combined with skin hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Aloe, and Mirabilis Jalapa extracts, as well as Quercetin, Rutin and Silver to help soothe the appearance of the skin. In 30 minutes, skin becomes more hydrated and smoother-looking. This service is great for supplementing the monthly Repêchage Red-Out Facial with Seaweed Extract and Silver treatments, or when sensitive skin needs to feel renewed and calm.
