Answers:
1. Where does the name Yon-Ka come from?
--
The philosophy that Yon-Ka is based on is embodied
in this name, which is a combination of 2 words:
- Yon: a river with rapid and purifying water, as well as the phonetic homonym
" ion ", meaning an energy particle
- Ka: in ancient Egypt, Ka signifies the vital and eternal force that is inherent
in each individual
Yon-Ka: a name that is symbolic of natural and constant regeneration.

3. Where do the plants, used in the Yon-Ka products,
come from?
--
A plant is a living organism and its characteristics
vary according to its botanical species as well as its geographical origins,
climate, etc… This is why the approximately one hundred plants used in
the Yon-Ka products come from several countries around the world. The 5 Quintessence
essential oils that are used in the composition of numerous Yon-Ka products
are an example of this:
- lavender (lavandula vera) and cypress (cupressus sempervirens), which come
from the Provence region (France),
- geranium (pelargonium graveolens), which comes from Egypt,
- thyme (thymus vulgaris) and rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis with cineole),
which come from Morocco.
Each essential oil, and each botanical or marine extract is chosen based on
its properties as well as other extremely precise criteria. These raw materials
are subject to strict laboratory testing, prior to their use, in order to
ensure optimal quality and stability

5. I have heard that fruit acids can be aggressive to
the skin. Is this true?
--
For numerous years, AHA (alpha-hydroxyl-acids),
commonly called fruit acids, have been used by our Laboratories for their
moisturizing properties. Thanks to their ability to eliminate dead skin cells
and activate cellular renewal, they have also been added to cosmetology products
over the past few years.
Their effectiveness is determined by their nature, acidity level and concentration.
In low concentrations, AHA are excellent moisturizers that restore softness
and suppleness to the skin. When used in higher concentrations and in an acidic
medium, AHA show greater skin exfoliating power. In the highest concentrations,
AHA are strictly used for medical purposes. Given this fact, it is essential
that an accurate dosage of this ingredient be used for optimal cutaneous softness,
combined with the expert advice of a specialist.
Yon-Ka offers a complete and well-balanced program, to be used in accordance
with your own skincare needs:
FRUITELIA, a protective emulsion with fruit acids (cane sugar, bilberry, maple,
lemon, orange) grafted to almond proteins, to be used all year round for gentle
and progressive skin regeneration action, without risks of irritation.
ALPHA-COMPLEX is used for increasingly intensive skin regeneration, and contains
pineapple, passion fruit, lemon and grape extracts. To be applied in the evening,
for a 4-week intensive treatment.
At the beauty clinics and spas, the ALPHA-VITAL treatment combines exfoliation,
nourishment and moisture-replenishment for progressive and well-balanced skincare.
Your Yon-Ka esthetician will advise you on the most suitable treatment program
for your skin.

6. How often should I receive a skincare treatment in
a beauty clinic?
--
If it is reasonable, and of course, enjoyable, to regularly visit your esthetician, there are no set rules concerning frequency. However, it is better to make an appointment at least once a month and follow the home care program that has been specially recommended for you. In times of stress, as well as physical and mental fatigue, you will undoubtedly require skincare treatments and expert advice on a more regular basis.
In certain cases (such as a slimming treatment), your esthetician will recommend more frequent treatment programs. Again, she will be able to advise you according to your own individual needs.
And don't forget that we have developed different treatment programs that last 15 min., 35min. and 1 hour or more, so that you may fully benefit from these highly privileged moments of pleasure and beauty-enhancement, which is, of course, of utter importance!
