My love for natural skincare products explains why I loved YonKa so much.<\/p>\n<p>I love to discover new brands, products with innovative technology (yes, cosmetics are hyper-technological), new concepts and I wanted to share all these experiences. That&#8217;s why I decided to create this blog. I started\u00a0my blog in 2012 (the French version) and I decide to add English versions of my articles in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>These are my personal experiences and I have no interest in talking about one\u00a0brand rather than another one. I&#8217;m interested in talking about good or interesting products that I&#8217;d easily advise my family and friends to look at.<br \/>\nMost of the time, I have purchased the products I review on the blog. Very occasionally, I receive products from the brands, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that I won&#8217;t give me my true opinion on them and you will see that this is clearly stated so there is no confusion.<\/p>\n<p>I moved to Dubai 2 years ago and I love\u00a0exploring this new playground, I will share all my beauty-related experiences with you here!<\/p>\n<p>I certainly love to try new products, but I also love to discuss them with you.
