Beauty's Spa: A YonKa Facial with Sigrid Yorke


In the last four years I have only let one brilliant esthetician touch my face. Her name is Terri Exum and she works out of Spa Physiog in Carrboro, North Carolina.

But when your esthetician begs you to go to another esthetician, claiming that she is the genius facialist, you know you must go. I imagine this is somewhat like having your true love ask you to marry another man for some honorable reason like duty, responsibility, linage, or some such nonsense. I am not that honorable when it comes to vanity. Terri does a fantastic job, uses all organic handmade products, and my skin looks amazing. Done. No need to go anywhere else. Except that she had one very good point. Sigrid does extractions, and my blackheads had been incubating for years.

The masterful magician provoking this epic facialist love triangle is Sigrid Yorke. Trained by the rigorous standards of medical estheticians in Quebec, she is a remarkably skilled, mystically talented medi-facialist. Her facials, while relaxing, are also procedures meant to vacuum your epidermis of dirt completely. (If you have never had a facial treatment via Lucas Spray, pictured below, you MUST try it.) After each excavation into the depths of my facial skin she showed me her results. In total, the discolored gunk looked plentiful enough to fill a teaspoon.


On first glancing in the mirror post-facial I saw strawberry blotches sprouting from every available patch of skin. Sigrid is a professional however, and assured me that her techniques would lift my face to a new level of health, revealing an entirely new face the next morning. In truth I have never seen my skin look as radiant, youthful, and absolutely dirt free as it did 24 hours after Sigrid worked on it.

If you too would like brand new skin, Sigrid works out of the Skintopia Skin Care Center at Faces Plastic Surgery. Be prepared to wait for an appointment. I am not the first woman to discover the genius of her handiwork. In fact, even the gents are lining up for her facials.

If you can't find your way to North Carolina to work with this medi-facialist genius, you can purchase most of the products she uses by using the links below.

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.

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.

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.
