The afternoon portion of the event was dedicated to the spa sciences as Sarfati unveiled the EuraFace Action Professional Equipment by Sarfati, which provides a fine spray of steam combined with the option to add ozone, aromatic herbs, and essential oils. Guests also enjoyed a three-course lunch as well as the Repêchage President’s Awards ceremony.
