Sun worshipping dates to the period right after World War II, when a tanned body began to be perceived as living the “good life,” of affluence and freedom. In 1944, the first tanning cream was introduced. Today, after decades of study and research, the multiple hazards of the sun are well recognized, and yesterday’s “tanning cream” has evolved quite dramatically. Repêchage® has been on the forefront of developing breakthrough sun care technology with proven results, coming to you in the form of HYDRA SOLEIL®

While many desire a luminous golden glow, the reality is that overexposure to the sun is damaging to the skin and can result in deadly forms of cancer. As Americans are wising up about sun safety, the popularity of both sunscreens and selftanning products has increased, yet fewer than 33% of adults, adolescents, and children routinely use sun protection. Whatever your preferred line of defense, Repêchage HYDRA SOLEIL® offers products based on the most advanced skincare technology for safe, effective tanning with or without the sun.

SPF (Sun Protection Factor)

SPF measures the length of time a product protects against skin redness from UVB rays compared to how long the skin takes to redden without protection. For example, if your skin reddens in the sun 1 hour without sunscreen, it will take 15 times as long (15 hours) to redden with an SPF 15, though it may take up to 24 hours for this redness to appear. A broad spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF 15, which blocks 93% of UVB (SPF 30 blocks approximately 97% of UVB) is recommended whenever you are outside, though one should never stay outside unprotected for an extended period of time. Because products boasting an SPF above 30 offer negligible additional protection benefits and instill false confidence in consumers, the FDA has suggested capping the SPF rating at 30+.

UV Damage: What does it do?

  • Corrupts DNA
  • Deactivates natural detoxifying enzymes
  • Inhibits Vitamin A - Basal cell regulation
  • Activates enzymes that break down collagen

THE TRUTH ABOUT SKIN CANCER:

  • More than 1 million people in America will be diagnosed with skin cancer this year.
  • 1 in 5 Americans will get skin cancer in the course of a lifetime.
  • Nationally, there are more new cases of skin cancer each year than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung, & colon.
  • The incidence of melanoma is increasing rapidly in women under the age of 40; It is now the most common cancer in young women aged 25-29, and 2nd only to breast cancer in women ages 30-34.
  • Melanoma kills more young women than ANY other cancer.
  • More than 90% of all skin cancers are caused by sun exposure.
  • The effects of photoaging (skin aging caused by the sun) can be seen as early as in one’s 20’s.
  • Putting proven cancer prevention and early detection techniques into action could eliminate at least 100,000 cancer cases & 60,000 cancer deaths in the U.S. each year!
