Beauty Gone Green: an online store packed with the best green beauty products.

Beauty Gone Green was started by Terri Exum and Sigrid Yorke in July of 2007. Both women are sought after estheticians with a passion for the best beauty products. In addition to their thriving practices as estheticians, each has their own business on the side (Spa Physiog and Skintopia). Realizing that most woman were as busy as they were, leaving little time to research and physically go buy the best beauty products, they started Beauty Gone Green. Because of this ingenious idea the rest of the world can obtain the best of the beauty industry with the ease and comfort of just one click. Eminence Organics, Yonka Paris and Yonka for Men, Clarisonic, American Biotech Labs, Cosmedix (maker of my favorite facial peel), Pacifica, IS clinical, Glominerals and much much more are all available. Click on any of the pictures below to learn more about the product lines. Terri and Sigrid picked each line based on organic ingredients, earth friendly business practices, and of course the best skin care. Beauty Gone Green's products have changed my skin. Three years ago when I met Terri I had acne, rosacea, dryness, and hyper pigmentation. Today people I don't even know ask me how I got such beautiful skin. The answers my friends are all below...click away!

Exclusive Contest for Beauty's Spot Readers! Win YonKa's Skincare for Men!

It has come to my attention lately that I have some serious difficulties communicating with men. (My apologies to the kind young gentleman who was unfortunate enough to be the medium through which I learned this lesson.) So I have decided to make the best of it and make the first Beauty's Spot contest an exclusive opportunity for good communication with, and good skin care for, the male readers! Here is how it works:

• The contest starts today (March 29) and will end 30 days from now (April 28).


• Whoever posts the most comments on Beauty's Spot in those 30 days will receive a care package full of samples courtesy of BeautyGoneGreen.com (with daily use, each bottle lasts about two weeks). The care package will include the majority of products in Yonka's AMAZING skin care line for men! And I will throw in one full sized Yonka for Men product.


• The winner gets to write his own blog entry reviewing the Yonka Products! (We'll call this our first Beast's Spot entry in honor of Beauty Spot's first male reader, Mr. John C.)


• Ladies, I'll count your comments too if you have a man in your life who you'd like to gift the prizes to.

I will post weekly reminders about the contest, featuring the YonKa male model (otherwise known as the official Hunk of Burnin' Love). He is French and a former construction worker who was scooped from the construction site in an act of providence to become the face of Yonka's line for men. Thanks to BeautyGoneGreen for their generosity!

Yonka Creme 11 from BeautyGoneGreen.com

A few weeks ago I began using Yonka's Creme 11 after obtaining it from my favorite skincare guilty pleasure website, Beauty Gone Green. Now I can't live with out it. I have used every moisturizer from Clarins to Origins but nothing has changed my skin like this moisturizer. If your skin is prone to redness or sensitive in anyway this is the product that will transform it into glowing, moist, healthy skin. I just ran out of my starter supply two days ago and I can already tell my skin is thirsty, dry, and demanding that I incorporate this product into my daily routine. Most Yonka products produce an affect such that even a woman who has used only dial soap and no moisturizer her entire life can suddenly have skin reminiscent of wealthy French women who are born knowing coveted skincare secrets and who look no older than 30 on their 50th birthdays. Creme 11 counts an anti-depressant, St John's Wort, as an ingredient so it's no surprise that my face jumps for joy with every application. Other interesting ingredients include:

Matricaria Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Yarrow Extract, Horse Chestnut Extract, Whick Hazel Extract, Horsetail Extract, Saint Johns Wart Extract, Balm Mint Leaf Extract, Gentian Extract, Sage Leaf Extract, Marshmallow Root Extract, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Soybean Oil.

La Fashion Week's must-have skin care product: Yonka Lait Nettoyant

LA Fashion week is a bee hive of brilliant artists. Makeup artists, stylists, designers, set designers, musicians, writers. The pace is fast and the opportunities for creative inspiration are endless. This can leave a girl's skin somewhat exhausted. Not to mention that this week's events are at smashbox studios which means there is also a lot of makeup around. YonKa's Lait Nettoyant seems made for an event like this. It is a perhaps less important but still brilliant act of providence that I happened to obtain this product from Beauty Gone Green just before my departure. According to Beautygonegreen.com "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." It also removes layers upon layers of makeup in the blink of an overly made up eye. My face appears nourished and luminous even if I am a little overwhelmed.

YonKa Gel Nettoyant: gel foaming cleanser AND makeup remover

I recently discovered the YonKa product line at BeautyGoneGreen.com. It is "created, manufactured, and tested by the Laboratories MULTALER, a French family owned company." Upon trying this cleansing Gel and Makeup Remover I was astounded that no one had come up with this brilliant formula earlier simply because its effects are desired by every woman over 25. I was also astounded at how much the French language has stayed with me since grade school. In addition to providing vital instructional and corporate information, the label and packaging could also be a lesson straight out of Madame Boucher's 5th grade French class. In deciphering the list of active ingredients which include iris, litsea cubeba and lavender, plant active cleansing agents, and red algae I realized that with products derived from land and sea the world over, it may have taken while to come up with this precise recipe. The entire product line seems to be a brilliant witch's brew of essential oils, plant, fruit and marine extracts. This gel's foamy lather almost instantly removes my minerals, mascara, and brow powder while also leaving my skin looking dewy, soft and moist. It can also be used in correcting faulty makeup application by simply dipping a cotton swab into the gel and swiftly removing any mis-drawn eye makeup. One of the great mysteries of the world is how exactly French women obtain the most youthful radiant natural looking skin. I am fairly certain they start with this product.
