The company has also opened skin care institutes that provide education for aestheticians on technical skin care, and for learning more about the spa business.

| Products at a Glance |
Yonka® has developed products for the face and body, and some that are meant to provide sun protection. The facial skin care products include cleansers, lotions, moisturizers, masks, peels and products for the lips and eyes. According to the site, the products contain botanical extracts and peptides and use aromatherapy for “naturally radiant beauty at all ages.”

| Products in Focus |
The featured product from Yonka® is the Prolongateur de Bronzage, a shimmering moisturizer that is advertised as “illuminating the skin with warm tones and tasteful gold sparkle glitters.” The product is designed to enhance and prolong a suntan and is said to provide moisture, nutrition and antioxidant protection to the skin.
The main active ingredients listed in this product are tea polyphenols from Green, Red and White Tea extracts to protect skin cells from environmental stress, plus Grape Seed Oil for its antioxidant properties, Vitamins A & E to regenerate the cells and Vitamin B-5 to soothe and hydrate the skin.
We appreciate that all of the Yonka® skincare products contain natural ingredients, and that the company claims to manufacture the products in a space that “guarantees optimum hygiene and quality conditions.”

| Final Thoughts |
Use of Yonka® skincare products may be desirable for those seeking natural products for the face and body, although one must visit a participating spa for treatment. The products are available around the world, and as mentioned, some celebrities apparently use some of these products as well.
We are concerned that no research is posted on the website to prove the effectiveness of the ingredients. Individuals today have many products to choose from to address their skincare needs, and some of these natural products contain ingredients that have undergone clinical trials that prove their effectiveness. Argireline® is an amino peptide that has been shown to relax facial muscles, and Matrixyl 3000® reduces the depth, density and volume of wrinkles. Products that include these clinically proven ingredients will likely be more effective in restoring the skin to a more youthful appearance. It may be wise to seek a product that offers a complete money-back guarantee and is supported by numerous customer testimonials.
