Repechage means ‘to rescue’ or ‘second chance’. If only we were given a second chance in life, to do right what we have done wrong! Well, on one thing, which is the care of our skin, we can! I am so happy to have been introduced to the ‘Beauty from the Sea’ brand; REPECHAGE!

Ingrid Coleiro is the director at Makiba Essence, the distributors of Repechage. After a few sessions with her, I began to acquire knowledge about the rich vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids which are so important to our skin. This is something that the US family-owned company of Repechage proudly present in their products which are seaweed-based.

But let’s talk practical now.

Sonya Vanessa Gauci is a Skin Esthetician in Naxxar who has been working with Repechage for years and has tons of experience in beauty. When it was my time to have my facial done, I was literally blown away. First of all you can tell straight away that Sonya’s technique is second to none! Her touch melts you away as she kneads your face like the real pro she is. “Helping up the blood flow is the first and most important thing for skin rejuvenation and reduction of wrinkles!” Sonya tells me. With a professional like that, you know you can totally trust their product choice, which, coupled with Sonya’s passion for the job, makes this experience really worth it!

My 2hr facial experience was a mix of absorbing all those vitamins and minerals as easily as I was absorbing the small titbits of information about how I can use the products to my best advantage, look after my skin so I can have a long term radiating effect and keep having the best looking skin for my age.

In the weeks to come and during the programme ILSIEN IN-NISA, I shall be sharing as much information as I possibly can. Not that you need to be convinced about these products, but because what these passionate professionals are passing on to us in terms of knowledge about our skin, is something that we shall all have the privilege of knowing! And even if till now you have not looked after your skin much, there is now a second chance… REPECHAGE!

What I had done: Biolight Miracle Facial with Glyco-Sea Peel

What it is and does: A peel of 30% glycolic acid, combined with a laminaria complex (seaweed), delivers a stable acid which reduces irritation, calms, hydrates and gives anti-oxidant properties.

What properties where delivered during the treatment: Hexapetides, which help strengthen the skin structures (like Collagen). daisy and liquorice, which interrupt melanogenesis thus slowing down the melanin activity which is responsible for our pigmentation. Watermelon, protects against DNA damage which causes skin discoloration.

Result: We have uncovered a luminosity we thought was gone forever … we’ve shed old cells, making the skin ready to absorb key ingredients to brighten and strengthen the skin.
