Bath facials: Glow with Bianka Beauté

Facial treatments provide many benefits for the skin, including improved hydration and skin radiance.

Additionally, they help to prevent premature aging and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Facials also promote relaxation and stress relief, contributing to overall wellness.  

By removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth, facials can also help to improve skin texture and create a more even complexion.

Finally, regular facial treatments can help to boost the skin's overall health and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Bianka recommends incorporating massage movements when applying your emollient skincare products, as this enhances absorption and promotes circulation, ensuring maximum benefit.

Additionally, Bianka may provide you with facial exercises to practice at home, which should be performed at least four times per week.

These exercises help tone and rejuvenate the skin, contributing to a youthful appearance and overall well-being.

With Bianka's guidance, you can elevate your home care routine to achieve lasting beauty and vitality.

Cleansing

Skin cleansing for achieving and maintaining healthy skin is important.

Our cleansing preparations serve several essential functions, including gently exfoliating dead skin cells to reveal younger, fresher cells and improve skin appearance.

Additionally, they effectively remove makeup, dirt, and pollutants from the skin's surface, reducing the risk of blemishes and irritation.

By eliminating excess sweat and sebum, our cleansing products help prevent congestion and the formation of various skin imperfections like comedones, milia, and pustules.

Ultimately, proper cleansing prepares the skin for subsequent services, ensuring optimal results from your skincare routine.

Cleansing service at Bianka Beauté

At Bianka Beauté, we employ a meticulous two-step cleansing process to ensure your skin receives the thorough care it deserves.

Firstly, the superficial cleanse utilizes gentle cleansing preparations to effectively remove surface makeup, dirt, and impurities.

Following this, our deep cleanse employs a richer cleansing cream to penetrate deeper into the skin, effectively lifting away any remaining impurities.

Depending on your unique skin type and condition, we may opt for a cleansing balm formulation for added nourishment and hydration.

Rest assured, our cleansing service is tailored to meet your specific skincare needs, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Superficial cleansing

During your superficial cleansing session with Bianka, it's essential to follow these steps for effective and gentle cleansing.

First, Bianka ensures her hands are washed thoroughly, and if you wear contact lenses, they should be removed beforehand.

If you have coarse facial hair, Bianka may wear gloves to prevent any skin irritation.

The cleansing process begins with the delicate eye area, using a suitable eye makeup remover applied with a clean piece of cotton wool.

Each eye is cleansed separately, with Bianka's precise technique ensuring thorough removal of makeup or debris.

Next, she cleanses the lips using gentle circular motions with a cleansing milk or lotion, effectively removing any lipstick or residue.

Then, Bianka selects a cleansing product tailored to your skin type and applies it in gentle massaging motions, ensuring thorough coverage.

The cleanser is removed using clean, damp cotton wool, facial sponges, mitts, or hot towels, with Bianka stroking over the skin surface to ensure complete removal.

If you wear semi-permanent artificial eyelashes, Bianka avoids high oil content products to prevent weakening the adhesive.

These meticulous steps ensure a thorough and hygienic cleansing experience, leaving your skin refreshed and rejuvenated.

Deep cleansing

During your deep cleansing session with Bianka, a series of massage techniques are employed to enhance the effectiveness of the cleansing process.

These manipulations promote increased blood circulation, which helps relax the skin's natural openings such as hair follicles and pores, facilitating the absorption of cleanser to dissolve makeup, sebum, and debris.

Bianka ensures a safe and hygienic procedure, guiding you through each step to achieve the desired outcome.

Starting with the selection of a suitable cleansing medium tailored to your skin type, the process involves specific massage sequences across different facial areas.

Techniques include upward strokes on the neck, circular manipulations, and gentle pressure movements on various facial zones.

Bianka concludes the session by removing the cleansing cream using appropriate tools like damp cotton wool, facial sponges, mitts, or towels, leaving your skin thoroughly cleansed and revitalized.

Cleansing preparations

At Bianka Beauté, we understand the importance of choosing the right cleanser for your skin.

Cleansers are designed to remove both oil-soluble and water-soluble substances without drying out your skin.

Typically, cleansers combine oil and water to create an emulsion, allowing them to effectively dissolve impurities.

Surfactants, such as detergents, help cleanse the skin by binding to oils and debris, which can then be washed away.

Emulsions come in different types, including oil-in-water and water-in-oil, with added emulsifiers for stability.

Our range of cleansing preparations, including milks, creams, balms, lotions, gels, foaming cleansers, bars, and eye makeup removers, cater to various skin types.

No matter your choice, a good cleanser should effectively cleanse the skin, remove makeup and impurities, feel pleasant to use, be easy to remove, and ideally be pH-balanced.

Trust Bianka Beauté to help you find the perfect cleanser for your skincare needs.

Mask service

At Bianka Beauté, our mask service offers a range of skin-cleansing preparations designed to address various skin concerns and achieve desired outcomes.

Our masks contain a blend of ingredients carefully selected for their deep cleansing, toning, nourishing, and refreshing effects on the skin.

Depending on the ingredients used, our masks work in different ways.

We offer both setting and non-setting masks, tailored to suit different skin types and conditions.

Your aesthetician, Bianka, will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable mask for your needs, ensuring optimal results.

Contra-indications of face mask application

At Bianka Beauté, your safety and comfort are our top priorities, which is why we carefully consider any contra-indications before proceeding with any skincare treatment, including face mask application.

In addition to general skincare precautions, we pay close attention to specific factors such as allergies, claustrophobia, and sensitive skin.

We always inquire about any known allergies to avoid contact with allergens, and we are mindful of clients who may experience claustrophobia under the tightening effect of certain masks.

For clients with highly sensitive skin, we refrain from using stimulating masks to prevent any adverse reactions or discomfort.

Your well-being is paramount to us, and we take every measure to ensure a safe and pleasant experience during your visit to Bianka Beauté.

Ensuring hygiene in our mask services

At Bianka Beauté, we ensure that our tools and equipment meet the highest standards to provide you with a comfortable and effective skincare experience.

When applying masks, we utilize a range of specialized products and tools designed for optimal results.

After each use, we meticulously clean and disinfect our tools to maintain hygiene standards.

For instance, our mask brushes are thoroughly cleaned with warm water and detergent before being disinfected in a chemical agent and stored in a UV cabinet.

Similarly, when using sponges for mask removal, we ensure they are cleaned and then autoclaved for disinfection.

Additionally, our thermal mitts and towels are washed at high temperatures to eliminate any bacteria.

Rest assured that at Bianka Beauté, your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

Tailored mask services for your skin

At Bianka Beauté, we prioritize the effectiveness and safety of our mask services to ensure optimal results for our clients.

Before applying the mask, we ensure that your skin is clean and free from any residual massage mediums to maximize the treatment's benefits.

Bianka, your aesthetician, carefully selects the mask ingredients based on your specific skin type and any facial conditions that need addressing.

This personalized approach ensures that your skin receives the targeted treatment it needs to look and feel its best.

Trust Bianka Beauté for professional mask services tailored to your unique skincare needs.

Contra-actions of mask services

Before applying the mask, Bianka, your aesthetician, will explain to you how it will feel on your skin, ensuring you can identify any potential discomfort or skin reaction, such as a burning sensation.

Your comfort is paramount, so please inform Bianka if you experience any discomfort during the process.

If you do react negatively to the mask, she will promptly remove it and apply a soothing skincare product.

Should you exhibit inflammation upon mask removal, she will also apply a soothing product and document the reaction for future reference, adjusting the mask choice accordingly.

If suitable, Bianka may provide you with a sample for home use, along with instructions for optimal application and removal.

She recommends incorporating a mask into your skincare routine once or twice a week to effectively cleanse and stimulate your skin, but avoid immediate use before special occasions to prevent potential blemishes.

Remember to tone and moisturize your skin after removing the mask, and we will periodically review its suitability based on your evolving skin needs and lifestyle factors.

 Warming the skin

To achieve the desired warming effect on the skin for cleansing and stimulation, Bianka incorporates a steam service into facial treatments following manual cleansing.

Steam facilitates several beneficial effects, including opening the pores, stimulating local blood and lymphatic circulation, softening the surface cells of the epidermis to aid in desquamation, improving sebaceous gland activity, particularly beneficial for dry mature skin, and enhancing skin color.

Steam is generated by heating distilled water electrically until it boils, producing a gentle and effective means of preparing the skin for subsequent treatments.

Toning

After your skin has been thoroughly cleansed, Bianka typically applies a toning lotion tailored to your skin's needs.

There are three main types of toning lotions, each containing varying amounts of alcohol.

These include bracers and fresheners, tonics, and astringents.

Depending on your skin type and concerns, Bianka selects the most suitable toning preparation to help balance your skin's pH levels and tighten pores, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.

Moisturizing

Hydration plays a vital role in maintaining healthy, vibrant skin.

Your skin relies on adequate water levels to retain its softness, suppleness, and resilience.

With approximately 20% of the body's total water content residing in the skin, proper hydration is essential.

While much of this hydration is stored in the deeper layers of the dermis, it continually circulates to the surface of the epidermis, where it helps to maintain moisture balance. 

Bianka, your skincare expert, can recommend effective moisturization techniques and products tailored to your skin's unique needs, ensuring optimal hydration and skin health.

Exfoliation

After thoroughly cleansing the skin, Bianka recommends exfoliation as a salon technique to accelerate the natural process of shedding dead skin cells from the outer layer of the epidermis, known as desquamation.

Typically performed after cleansing and toning, exfoliation offers numerous benefits. It rejuvenates the skin's appearance by removing surface dead cells, particularly beneficial for mature clients seeking to enhance skin texture.

Bianka advises that exfoliation should be tailored based on age, as teenagers regenerate skin cells every 14 days, whereas this process slows to 30–40 days in older individuals.

Exfoliation effectively removes dead cells, grease, and debris, revealing fresher, smoother skin and promoting better absorption of skincare products. Moreover, it stimulates blood circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells while improving skin color and reducing hyperpigmentation.

However, Bianka cautions against overstimulation or over-exfoliation, which may sensitize the skin or compromise its natural protective barrier.

Additionally, she recommends avoiding exfoliants with sharp grains of nut shells, as they can damage the epidermis.

Clients should be informed about proper post-exfoliation care, including the use of sunscreen to protect the skin from UV damage.

For home use, exfoliants should be applied once or twice a week, depending on skin type, with gentle massaging motions and thorough rinsing with tepid water.

Bianka concludes by emphasizing the importance of selecting exfoliation techniques and products tailored to individual skin needs to achieve optimal results while maintaining skin health.

Addressing minor skin blemishes

Following the cleansing of your skin, we may perform a gentle extraction process to remove skin blockages such as blackheads and whiteheads.

Prior to extraction, we ensure the skin is adequately warmed to soften the skin and relax the blocked pores.

This approach allows for a more effective and comfortable extraction process, promoting clearer and healthier skin.

Comedone removal

Comedones are clogged pores filled with oil and dead skin cells.

At Bianka Beauté, we prioritize gentle and effective skincare practices, including comedone removal.

When using the loop end of the extractor tool, our skilled aesthetician applies gentle pressure around the comedone to safely extract impurities from the skin.

Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities, and we strive to ensure that every aspect of your skincare treatment is performed with care and professionalism.

Milia present on the skin’s surface

Milia are small cysts caused by trapped keratin beneath the skin's surface.

At Bianka Beauté, when addressing milia present on the skin's surface, our approach prioritizes gentle and effective removal.

The comedone, resembling a plug, is carefully targeted, and gentle pressure is applied with the fingers at its sides to ensure complete extraction.

To maintain hygiene and minimize discomfort, we wrap a tissue around the pads of the index fingers during this process.

This technique ensures thorough removal while prioritizing the safety and comfort of our clients, leaving the skin clear and rejuvenated.

Milia extraction

At Bianka Beauté, our approach to milia extraction prioritizes safety and effectiveness.

During the procedure, our aesthetician will hold the point of the extractor tool parallel to the skin's surface, gently piercing the epidermis to create an opening for the milia's removal.

Using either a comedone extractor or clean tissues wrapped around the index fingers, gentle pressure will be applied to extract the milia.

Following extraction, an antiseptic soothing lotion or impregnated isopropyl alcohol tissues will be applied to promote skin healing.

Clients will be advised that temporary redness may occur in the treated area and should refrain from touching it to prevent skin contamination.

Additionally, applying a soothing, antiseptic lotion for at least 48 hours post-treatment will aid in skin recovery.

Progressive milia treatment approach

At Bianka Beauté, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of our clients when addressing skin congestion.

If a client experiences severe congestion, we advise against attempting to remove all blockages in a single session.

Doing so could sensitize the skin, leading to excessive redness and discomfort.

Instead, we recommend scheduling weekly visits to the salon to gradually address and clear the skin as part of a comprehensive service program tailored to each individual's needs.

Tools and equipment of extraction

During the removal of skin blockages or extraction process, we utilize specialized equipment and materials to ensure utmost hygiene and effectiveness.

In addition to the basic equipment, such as disposable gloves and skin disinfectant swabs, we use stainless steel comedone and milium extractor tools.

Following each use, disposable Microlance tools are promptly disposed of in designated 'sharps' containers to maintain a clean and safe environment for our clients.

Hygienic skin blockage removal procedures

At Bianka Beauté, we prioritize the safety and hygiene of our clients during skin blockage removal procedures. Before commencing the extraction process, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected with a suitable skin disinfectant or alcohol preparation to minimize the risk of secondary infection. All contaminated waste materials, including facial tissues and gloves, are disposed of in designated waste containers as per the guidelines provided by local health authorities. Following each use, the stainless steel comedone extractor is meticulously cleaned with a disinfectant/alcohol preparation while wearing disposable gloves, before undergoing sterilization in an autoclave. Throughout the procedure, single-use disposable non-latex powder-free gloves are worn to maintain a sterile environment and ensure the safety of our clients.

Contra-actions

We prioritize the safety and well-being of our clients during skin extraction procedures.

It's essential to note that applying excessive pressure during extraction may lead to skin bruising, while using too much force to squeeze the comedone can potentially damage surrounding blood capillaries, resulting in permanent skin damage.

In cases where extraction causes tissue damage and blood loss, our aesthetician will promptly apply a medical swab to the affected area to ensure proper care and management.

We strive to perform extractions with utmost care and precision to minimize any adverse reactions and promote optimal skin health.

 

Facial massage

 At Bianka Beauté, facial massage involves the skilled manipulation of the soft tissues of the face, neck, and upper chest using the hands.

This technique is tailored to address both physiological and psychological needs identified during skin analysis and consultation.

The benefits are manifold: it enhances skin appearance by removing dead cells, improves muscle tone and contour, induces relaxation by increasing blood circulation, enhances skin color, facilitates waste removal for skin purification, promotes better product absorption, soothes sensory nerves, and maintains the skin's natural oil balance.

Each session is designed to meet individual needs, ensuring a rejuvenated and refreshed complexion.

Your experience

Our facial massage service is designed to provide a rejuvenating experience tailored to your skin's needs.

Bianka expertly guides each step, from gentle effleurage movements to invigorating knuckling techniques, aimed at enhancing circulation and promoting relaxation.

Throughout the session, Bianka ensures your comfort and well-being, using techniques such as thumb kneading, circular massage, and tapping motions to stimulate facial muscles and promote a radiant complexion.

With each movement, Bianka's skilled hands work to lift and tone the skin, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.

Massage tools and equipment

We utilize specialized massage mediums during our treatments to ensure a comfortable and effective experience for our clients.

Whether it's a massage cream or oil, each product is carefully selected to suit your specific skin type and age, offering both lubrication and skin softening properties.

Our priority is to provide you with a massage medium that offers optimal slip, allowing us to perform massage movements with precision and control, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your massage session.

Sensitive skin is treated with care, avoiding areas of sensitivity during tapotement movements.

Experience the transformative effects of our facial massage service, where every gesture is crafted to enhance your natural beauty and leave you glowing from within.

Massage manipulations

Our facial massage manipulations are crafted around a selection of classic massage techniques, each serving unique purposes to enhance your experience.

Effleurage, a gentle stroking movement, initiates and concludes the massage, inducing relaxation and improving circulation without applying excessive pressure.

Petrissage involves lifting and compressing tissues intermittently to improve muscle tone and circulation.

Percussion, or tapotement, stimulates the skin briskly for a revitalizing effect.

Vibrations, applied on nerve centers, create a gentle trembling movement, stimulating nerves and enhancing skin function.

These manipulations are tailored to your needs, with adjustments in speed and pressure to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness during your treatment.

At Bianka Beauté, we offer various massage sequences, each incorporating a combination of massage techniques tailored to your needs.

Whether it's effleurage, petrissage, percussion, or vibrations, Bianka utilizes these manipulations to provide a rejuvenating and relaxing facial massage experience.

Your comfort during session

Your well-being is our priority. During facial massages, it's essential for your face to relax fully.

If we notice any signs of tension, such as vertical furrows between the eyebrows, we'll ensure that you're warm and comfortable throughout the session.

When focusing on the neck area, we ensure to avoid applying pressure over the trachea, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout your session.

Additionally, we refrain from using knuckling techniques on sensitive skin to prevent any potential over-stimulation, ensuring a soothing and relaxing massage experience tailored to your specific needs.

Your relaxation and comfort are integral to the experience we provide, ensuring you leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

After the massage

Following your facial massage at Bianka Beauté, Bianka ensures that all massage medium is meticulously removed using clean, damp cotton wool, facial mitts, or towels.

This thorough cleansing ensures that your skin remains clear and refreshed.

Afterward, Bianka applies toner to eliminate any lingering traces of oil, leaving your skin feeling clean and balanced.

To complete your service, you have the option to continue with additional skin treatments like a face mask for added nourishment, or Bianka can simply apply an appropriate moisturizer to leave your skin feeling hydrated and rejuvenated.

Booking facial massage

At Bianka Beauté, we recommend booking a facial massage every 4 to 6 weeks for optimal skin health and relaxation.

The session typically lasts for about 1 hour, with the massage itself taking approximately 20 minutes, adjusted to suit your skin type.

After cleansing the skin, we apply a cleansing face mask to absorb any excess massage medium and enhance the nourishing effects.

It's important to note that your skin may appear slightly red and blotchy immediately after the service due to increased blood circulation, which usually subsides within 4 to 6 hours.

We advise avoiding immediate application of cosmetic products after the massage to allow your skin to fully benefit from the treatment.

If you have a special occasion coming up, like a wedding, we recommend scheduling your appointment at least 5 days in advance to avoid any potential post-massage blemishes.

Advice before your facial massage

Bianka aims to ensure your comfort and satisfaction during your facial treatment.

To prevent any inconvenience, we advise avoiding styling your hair directly before your appointment, as the headband used during the service may affect your hairstyle.

Additionally, this precaution helps prevent the massage medium from entering your hairline, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Your relaxation and convenience are our top priorities throughout your visit.

Skincare services

As a client, you can rely on the expertise of our beauty therapist to enhance the health and appearance of your skin through tailored skincare services and products.

Our facial treatments encompass a comprehensive range of services, including thorough consultation and skin analysis to understand your unique needs, followed by meticulous skin cleansing, gentle exfoliation, soothing manual massage of the face, neck, and shoulders, application of rejuvenating face masks, and targeted use of specialized skin products such as serums as required.

While we cannot alter your underlying skin type, which is genetically determined, your therapist focuses on maintaining the physiological balance of your skin type to ensure optimal health and radiance.

Skin types

For your beauty therapist, understanding your skin type is fundamental for effective skincare.

While the fundamental structure of the skin remains consistent, variations in its physiological functions result in distinct skin types, identifiable by specific visible traits.

As your aesthetician, Bianka conducts a comprehensive skin analysis at the onset of each facial service to accurately diagnose your skin type.

This analysis informs the selection of appropriate skincare products and facial treatments tailored to address your unique skin needs.

Ensuring an accurate assessment of your skin type is integral to optimizing the effectiveness of your skincare regimen.

Basic types

Understanding your skin type is crucial for maintaining its health and vitality. As your aesthetician, Bianka identifies four main skin types: normal, dry, oily, and combination.

Normal skin is well-balanced with consistent moisture and oil levels, while dry skin lacks sufficient sebum and moisture, leading to dehydration and flakiness.

Oily skin results from overactive sebaceous glands, often leading to blemishes and enlarged pores.

Combination skin combines oily and dry areas, typically oily in the T-zone and dry elsewhere.

Bianka tailors her skincare recommendations and treatments based on your specific skin type to address concerns such as sensitivity, blemishes, and uneven pigmentation, ensuring your skin receives the care it deserves.

Additional skin conditions

As your aesthetician, Bianka carefully assesses your skin for additional characteristics that may impact its health.

These may include sensitivity, moisture levels, dehydration, or puffiness.

Sensitive skin, often accompanying dry skin, can exhibit traits such as high coloring, broken capillaries, warmth, and superficial flaking.

Bianka provides tailored recommendations for sensitive skin, advising the use of hypoallergenic products to avoid common irritants like perfume.

Lifestyle factors such as alcohol, smoking, diet, and stress can exacerbate sensitivity and should be minimized for optimal skin health.

Healthy skin appearance tip from Bianka

For a healthy skin appearance, focus on ensuring that the skin surface reflects light evenly and appears smooth.

This involves regular removal of dead skin cells and excess sebum, along with proper moisturization tailored to your skin type and condition.

Consider scheduling regular facials and using skincare products specifically suited to your skin's needs to maintain its health and vitality.

Caring for your skin

Ensuring the health and vitality of your skin requires a holistic approach that includes both internal and external care.

Internally, maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet is essential for promoting skin health and appearance.

Quick weight loss diets, such as very low-fat, low-carbohydrate, or low-protein diets, can deprive the body of essential nutrients necessary for skin health, including growth, repair, and energy.

Nutrition provides the necessary chemical substances for the body's growth and overall well-being, with the digestive system playing a crucial role in breaking down food into essential nutrients.

These nutrients are then transported to the skin via the bloodstream, nourishing the cells and supporting processes of growth and repair.

Conversely, poor nutrition, often stemming from an imbalanced diet that includes highly processed foods and alcohol, can contribute to skin allergies and disorders.

We encourage our clients to prioritize a nutritionally balanced diet to support overall well-being and maintain vibrant, glowing skin.

Understanding internal factors: a skin health guide

 At Bianka Beauté, our focus is on promoting the well-being of our clients by addressing internal factors that can affect skin health.

We advise against excessive alcohol consumption, as it can deplete essential vitamins and dehydrate the skin, exacerbating conditions like acne and eczema.

Similarly, smoking and caffeine consumption can hinder nutrient absorption and lead to skin aging.

Additionally, certain medications and rapid weight loss can have adverse effects on the skin.

We encourage moderation in lifestyle choices and offer personalized skincare services to support your skin's health and vitality.

During consultations, we consider factors such as stress and medication use to tailor our services to your unique needs, ensuring your skin receives the care it deserves."

Protecting Your Skin: External Threats and Solutions

We understand the importance of addressing external factors that can affect your skin's well-being.

From UV exposure and cold sores to climate changes and environmental stressors like pollution, Bianka is here to guide you on protecting your skin.

We offer personalized solutions to combat hyperpigmentation, prevent premature aging, and maintain hydration, ensuring your skin remains healthy and radiant despite environmental challenges.

During your consultation, we encourage you to ask any questions related to your skincare routine or our treatments, and we will provide honest, knowledgeable, and considerate responses.

Bianka, your aesthetician, is here to assist you, and if you have any further inquiries, we're happy to provide guidance.
