What Yon-Ka is say about its newst Anti-Aging product…Pollution, cigarette smoke, exposure to UV rays, climate variation, and more: your face encounters harsh environmental factors every day. These damaging factors generate a large quantity of free radicals*, overwhelming the body’s self-defense system: this is oxidative stress, which is responsible for premature aging of the skin and causes a dull, muddy complexion. Specially designed to fight this stress, Vital Defense Crème helps the skin to remain youthful; the skin is oxygenated, stress-free, glowing. *Free radicals play a major role in tissue balance. When present in excessive numbers, they attack cell membranes, altering the communication between cells. At the cutaneous level, they trigger premature aging.

Drink more water, for clear skin.

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Many times, when clients come in for a facial and we get to talking about some of their skin issues, the discussion turns to things like the dark circles under their eyes or trouble with blemishes. Some have issues with ruddy skin, and others are bothered by a sallow complexion. Often, these clients also have visibly dehydrated skin. So I ask them about their water intake and a typical response is, “Oh, I don’t like drinking water.” Or, “Yeah I’m bad about that.”

Drinking water is truly one of the best things you can do for your skin. Get and stay hydrated. It keeps skin plump and moist. If you’re dehydrated, your body will take the water it needs for vital organs like your brain and your heart from your skin (a less vital organ), leaving it looking less than its best. We may think that good looking skin is vital, but in a hydration crisis, our body just doesn’t get it and those other organs are going to get the water they need. Drinking water also helps flush out toxins and helps our digestive system move things along. The faster those toxins can leave your system, the less time they have to interfere with your skin’s health. Water is truly key.

If you’re suffering from some of these same skin issues, and aren’t already drinking approximately 8 glasses of water a day, try it, and see if your situation improves. There are, of course, other reasons that people develop these kinds of problems, and they can be addressed with proper treatment, but upping your water intake to make sure you’re fully hydrated is a great place to start for everyone, especially as we enter the warmer months of the year.

When my clients make this simple change, they are amazed at what they see. And guess what? You will be too! You already take care of your skin. But you’ve got to moisturize your body from the inside. If your problem is a lack of water, there is not a topical product around that can fix that for you.

Yonka Paris Cleanser Lait Nettoyant.

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

This has been by far, over the years, my favorite. Why? Well, because when it comes to removing your make-up, it does it all! It’s gentle to the skin, but it removes eye make-up (even stubborn mascara) in one clean sweep and also lifts and washes away make-up, dirt, and secretions. So it does 2 in 1 and it smells lovely, too, making life easy. After all, isn’t that what it’s all about? No wonder make-up artists, celebrities, and aestheticians, like myself, covet this luxurious cleanser. Best of all, it’s suitable for all skin types. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll be happy to know you can share the joy with all your friends.

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
  • Helps reduce the appearance of visible pores
  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
