The Hydra Dew Pure™ Moisturizing Lift Facial and retail Hydra Dew Pure™ Collection have been formulated with natural, skin-cushioning ingredients to help strengthen, restore and renew the appearance of the skin that has been visibly compromised by environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV light, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and other aggressive treatments.

Repêchage® has travelled the world to find the very best and purest ingredients to address the skin care concerns that can lead to compromised skin conditions including:

Mastic: Known as the “Tears of Chios,” Mastic or Mastiha is a precious, ivory-colored resin with a balsam-like scent derived from the mastic tree known scientifically as Pistacia lentiscus. Although cultivated in other areas, it is the mastic trees in the southern tip of an island in the Aegean that is most legendary.

For the cultivation process, incisions are made in the tree’s bark to release its sap which then dries in the sun to form brittle pieces of translucent resin that hardens into droplets that resemble tear drops. It is from these tears that resin gum and oil is derived. This ingredient is known to help strengthen the appearance of the skin barrier and to instantly help reduce dryness while helping reduce the appearance of lines and dark spots.1

Repêchage® Exclusive Laminaria Digitata Seaweed Filtrate: At the heart of the Repêchage® products is our rich, pure, sustainably-harvested and proprietary Laminaria Digitata Seaweed Filtrate. This pure Seaweed Filtrate contains 12 vitamins, 18 amino acids, 42 trace elements and minerals, and phlorotannins—the key elements your skin needs for deep surface hydration and balance. In addition, this seaweed is a source of many important nutrients, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, enzymes and bioactive peptides. Among marine resources, it is also one of the richest sources of phlorotannins, sulfated polysaccharides, fucosterol and fucoxanthins.2

Camellia Japonica Seed Oil: Also known as Tsubaki oil, used for centuries in Japan, this ingredient is known to help strengthen the appearance of the skin barrier while it helps prevents moisture loss.3

Organic Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil: This oil derived from the Hemp seed does not contain the same levels of compounds as the plant itself, but is rich in nutrients and fatty acids. These essential fatty acids are known to help to maintain the skin barrier while moisturizing and helping improve the appearance of the skin.4

Codium Tomentosum Seaweed Extract: A type of seaweed that is known to help increase moisture. It hydrates, nourishes and is a powerful antioxidant.

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid): A natural moisturizing polysaccharide prevalently found in the skin that is known to hold 1000X its weight in water.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: This advanced peptide is known to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Kappaphycus Alvarezii Extract and Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract: An advanced natural biopolymer complex which has, in previous studies, displayed proven efficacy in providing a visibly lifting and smoothing effect.

Saccharide Isomerate: A known water binding agent, this ingredient is similar to the carbohydrate complex found in human skin. It is known to provide deep and long lasting moisturization to the skin.

Johnson now speaks internationally and writes extensively on the science and benefits of low-level light therapy.

At some point, many people will look in the mirror and see that dreaded tiny red line or a cluster of red lines that resemble a spider web somewhere on their face or body. Broken capillaries, or telangiectasia, are typically found in places where skin is exposed to daily environmental stressors. They can appear anywhere on the body but are most likely found on the face, neck, and chest. Broken capillaries are not a cause for concern but can be frustrating for an individual, as they will not go away on their own and are generally hard to camouflage with makeup.

Treatments for the glorious female genitalia are now becoming frequently requested services. Since the requests for these treatments have blossomed, there are various ways to incorporate some of these treatments into a spa menu. The details surrounding this may be a bit graphic, but it is important information to know when working with an area of the body susceptible to infection and irritation.

Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States. While it is primarily present on the face, it is not the only site. Acne can affect any part of the body that has oil-secreting glands or hair follicles, including the back, chest, and shoulders. Though these regions may be easier to conceal, body acne can still have an adverse effect on an individual’s social life, self-esteem, and body image.

Luckily, there are ways to support clients who may be experiencing body acne, starting in the treatment room with body facials and peels. With advanced professional treatments, peels and enzymes, and the right homecare regimen, professionals can help clients achieve healthy, smooth skin, and prevent or reduce the appearance of acne scaring. Think beyond only treating the face and explore how to help clients achieve whole body radiance and skin health.
