Get Zen with Yon-Ka Paris

For a lot of people, skin care is about so much more than making their skin healthier. It’s a self-care ritual, a few minutes every day that they can have a few minutes alone to do something that’s solely for them. Whether you have a busy career, a family, or whatever your circumstances might be, this daily ritual can be an opportunity to slow life down for a moment, nourish your skin, and remind yourself that you’re worth caring for too.

Yon-Ka Paris, a skin care brand that we’re proud to welcome to our shelves at Skin Elite, is all about skin care as self-care. In fact, that’s where their story began.

Aromatherapy with Botanical Healing

Yon-Ka Paris was founded in 1954 in France (surprising given their name, I know). It started as Laboratoires Multaler, which was born from a fascination with the healing effects of botanicals. It was here that they pioneered a new technique in skin care called phyto-aromatherapy, a technique that combines the restorative and revitalizing effects of aromas with active ingredients derived from plants. They believed you could enjoy the soothing benefits of aromatherapy while treating your skin.

A Foundation in Spa Treatments

It’s probably not a surprise that this aromatherapy-skin care combo was wildly popular in spas, and that’s where Yon-Ka Paris really took shape. Aestheticians who used their products were thrilled with their patients’ positive feedback about both the results and the experience. After all, what could be better than products that make you look AND feel great at the same time?

Offering the Products We Know and Love Today

It was in the late 1960s that Yon-Ka Paris started to expand internationally, reaching North America in the 1980s. While spa treatments are still a cornerstone of their business, we’re grateful that they also offer products for home use too. So even if you don’t have time for a facial, you can give yourself a little spa time at home.

Yon-Ka Paris Products to Try

Want to bring a slice of the spa home with you too? All of Yon-Ka Paris’s products are wonderfully formulated with botanical active ingredients and come out of ongoing skin care research, but which products should you try first? Consider these popular best-sellers.

Gel Nettoyant

Even the simplest steps of your skin care can be improved with the right products, and that includes cleansing. This gel cleanser uses plant-based cleansing agents to really get your skin squeaky clean, even removing makeup, pollution, and service debris. Its silky texture feels utterly luxurious. It was especially designed for oily skin, but it’s versatile enough for anyone to enjoy.

Glyconight Masque

When your skin needs a reset for some serious revitalization, the Yon-Ka Paris Glyconight Masque is a great choice. This rich resurfacing mask uses 10% glycolic acid to exfoliate your skin throughout the night, smoothing your skin’s texture, combating surface aging, and restoring your skin’s youthful glow. In the morning, just peel it off and you will have given “beauty sleep” a whole new meaning.

Time Resist Jour

Time Resist is Yon-Ka Paris’s anti-aging line that they came out with in 2016 and have just continued to improve ever since. What I find especially unique about this product is that, while most anti-aging products are restricted to nighttime use (and Time Resist does have a nighttime “Nuit” cream too), this anti-aging cream is specifically formulated for your morning routine. It uses plant-based stem cells and a special lipoamino acid to smooth your fine lines and wrinkles in a gentle way, giving your skin a smoothness and youth that you can show off all day, from the office to date night.

Serum Omega

I couldn’t leave Serum Omega off this list because it’s Yon-Ka Paris’s latest innovation, so brace yourself for the skin care of the future. This stunning serum directly addresses a part of the skin that has been a growing topic of conversation in skin care: the skin barrier. Serum Omega’s specialized lipids reinforce and empower your skin barrier in a way that gives you more hydrated skin day in and day out, and skin that’s more resilient against damage. If you have dry skin or barrier-compromised skin, this serum can be your ticket to soothed, healthier skin.
