Pioneers in Seaweed-Based Skincare Return to NYC Spa Scene with New Signature Renew & Restore Treatment Along with Tried & True Favorites
January 28, 2020, New York, NY – Repêchage®, the company founded in 1980 by skincare visionary, Lydia Sarfati, is making its return to New York City’s spa scene at The Spa by Equinox Hotels at Hudson Yards. Locals and tourists visiting Manhattan will now have the opportunity to soothe their skin with the seaweed-based skincare products, immerse themselves in treatments that have transformed the spa industry as well as experience the new Signature Renew & Restore Treatment exclusive to The Spa by Equinox Hotels, located in Equinox Hotels’ flagship property in Hudson Yards, New York City. To celebrate the launch, editors and NYC press were invited to experience this new treatment along with Repêchage® signature facials.
Putting a twist on Repêchage®’s iconic Four-Layer Facial®, the Renew & Restore (90 minutes, $450) includes the classic seaweed-based four layers that are amplified with new beauty techniques and tools, such as the Repêchage® Ultrasonic Skin Spatula, LED Radio Frequency and EMS Skin Tightening Machine, and Kansa Wand as well as incorporates a scalp and leg treatment for head to toe bliss.
Ideal for all skin types, Renew & Restore begins with cleansing and toning the skin with Repêchage ®products tailored to individual skin needs. Next, Repêchage® Biolight® Luminex Mask (a hybrid glycolic acid peel and clay mask) is applied and once firm, the Repêchage® Ultrasonic Skin Spatula helps to improve the appearance of oily skin, remove dry, flaky skin and target dull, uneven skin tone.
Then, the first layer of the iconic facial begins with C-Serum® Seaweed Filtrate, a lightweight oil-free serum that is short for cytoserum, a highly concentrated sustainably harvested Laminaria Digitata Seaweed extract that is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and trace elements. C-Serum® is massaged into the skin to help prevent dehydration, fine lines and restore overall skin vitality. The new Repêchage® LED Radio Frequency and EMS Skin Tightening Machine is used to help soften lines, increase hydration and aid in brightening up dark spots and sallow skin.
The second layer includes a heavenly facial massage using a hydrating cream, followed by the third layer, a cooling Seaweed Mask. The final layer is a mineral-rich, thermal mask that heats to 101◦, allowing for total penetration of all four layers.
While the Mineral Mask goes to work, a soothing scalp massage and Peppermint Sea Twist® Leg Treatment will ease all the senses. Legs are dry brushed and wrapped with seaweed and peppermint soaked muslin cloth followed by a Mylar wrap to ensure a thermal effect. Legs are unwrapped and a body contouring cream is applied followed by a massage with new Repêchage® Kansa Wand to aid in relaxation and lymphatic drainage.
Once total relaxation has been achieved, the hardened thermal mask is removed, followed by the Seaweed Mask underneath, unveiling dramatic results. With a quick spritz of Algo Mist® Hydrating Seaweed Facial Spray and application of Mineral Face Shield® clients can face the world glowing, renewed and restored.
In addition to the Signature Renew & Restore Treatment, The Spa by Equinox Hotels treatment offerings include Repêchage®’s Four-Layer Facial® (all skin types), Red-Out® Facial (for sensitive skin), Biolight® Luminex Mask (all skin types), Opti-Firm® Eye Contour Treatment (all skin types), Peppermint Sea Twist® (body contouring), Thalassotherapy Seaweed Body Contouring Mask (body contouring), Cryotherapy Slimming Treatment (body contouring).
