Yon-Ka Paris: A mum's skincare hero
The French are renowned as the masters of beauty and skincare around the world, and experiencing a Yon-Ka spa or treatment well and truly proves this.
Now in its 60th year, and with an impressive range of 80 treatments and products to suit every skin, this phyto-organic skincare range has become one of France’s best-loved and superior brands.
Its products based on five key aromatic oils – lavender, rosemary, thyme, cypress and geranium – Yon-Ka’s ever-evolving brand prides itself on providing natural and luxurious skincare treatments and solutions to suit every skin type, all over the world.
Coming into the winter, this is one of the key times of the year when we need to really look after our skin and protect ourselves from the harsh cold. During a recent visit to Yon-Ka’s laboratories in Paris, Brand Director Catherine Muhlethaler shared her advice on how best to care for our skin, and her top recommendations for Irish women.
Catherine, who has worked and trained in some of the world’s top establishments, pinpointed hydration as the key focus area for Irish women in general, and particularly in the winter. In terms of your daily skincare routine, her top recommendation from the range is Creme 11, perfect for skin that may be prone to redness, and the Hydra Serum, which provides long-lasting hydration for dry skin.
Despite the old belief that pregnant women should avoid aromatic oils, mums will be delighted to know that due to the low concentration of oils in the products, Yon-Ka treatments are one hundred per cent suitable for use during pregnancy.
In terms of the best and most beloved products for mums, Catherine had some expert recommendations. The Yon-Ka Masque provides intense hydration, while the popular Pamplemousse cream will provide an energising burst of vitality to dull, tired skin. Created to regenerate cells that are weakened, the signature Yon-Ka Serum will give a natural glow when stress is taking its toll on your delicate skin.
In terms of aftercare, Yon-Ka is a onestop shop for treating everything from stretch marks to sagging skin. Your secret weapon will be Yon-Ka’s Phyto 152 cream, which works to build body firmness for both day and night. With its core ingredient of rosemary, which works to heal, Phyto 152 stimulates and tightens loose skin to bring an all over firmness.
With a range of cleansers, moisturisers and masks to suit every skin type and condition, consider the Yon-Ka range your new skincare hero.
