YonKa Paris Summer Cleansers

Monday, August 4th, 2008

The Ladies of Beauty Gone Green are gearing up for some lovely adventures in Beauty Travel. We can’t wait to bring you the latest from our trips where we search the world over to bring you the best beauty products. Our two must-have travel products are both from YonKa Paris, our most favorite, traditional, French skincare line. Yonka’s Gel Nettoyant and Lait Nettoyant both act as nutritious, healing cleansers and makeup removers in one.  If your skin is more dry opt for the Lait. However if change of climate and stress leave your skin oily, simply trade the Lait out for the Gel.

Travel and endless business meetings, (yes even beauty business) can leave a girl’s skin somewhat exhausted. Lait Nettoyant is a “thorough and gentle cleansing agent that revives the skin’s protective lipids, leaving the complexion feeling soft and alive. The skin is sumptuously cleansed with a luxurious sensation of comfort. The complexion is smooth and hydrated with a satiny finish to the touch.”   And they are not just saying that. If we were not in the business of trying new products we’re pretty sure these two would hold the exclusive rights to our toiletry’s bags prime real estate. They both also adeptly remove layers upon layers of makeup in the blink of an overly made up eye. Also, a dab of either product on the end of a q-tip is the best way to correct faulty makeup application. YonKa really is a girl’s best friend.

Clarisonic, The Must Have Skincare Gizmo

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

We recommend the clarisonic to everyone of our clients. In fact, this gizmo is Beauty Gone Green’s number one selling product. Not only does it prolong the effect of every facial and skin treatment, it dramatically enhances the effect of your skin care regement. If we are paying eighty dollars for eye creams, shouldn’t we be getting the most we can out of them? With 300 movements per second this sonic skin care brush will reveal skin you never knew you had. In fact we have even cleansed with the highest quality makeup removers and cleansers only to find that this little device still retrieves more residue and dirt. We know it’s pricey at around two hundred dollars but we guarantee it will save you money on product and treatments. Come to think of it we may be putting ourselves out of business with this little device but no matter, amazing skin is worth it!

      Product Highlights 

  • 6X more makeup removal
  • Leaves skin feeling and looking younger and smoother
  • Cleanses so well that products absorb better
  • Gentle enough for use twice daily
  • Helps reduce oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes

Eminence Organics’ Lemon Cleanser and Coconut Milk Cleanser Combo

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

We are travelling and it’s summer. So we are a little oily. Every moisturizer we have tried does nothing but add to the wellspring of oil flowing from our pores. Then we remembered we have Eminence Organics Coconut Milk Cleanser in our travel bag. With a cleanser this rich and moist (it’s akin to slathering your face in a coconut milkshake) we don’t even need a moisturizer. No really. We went straight from Coconut Milk Cleanser to Minerals this morning and we’ve been complimented all day!

For an ultra-luxurious treat combine the lemon cleanser and the coconut milk cleanser. No matter where you are you will be whisked to the beauty of a tropical island, glowing skin and all.
