Whisk making is inevitable skill for a traditional bath master

Themes covered

• Classical whisking

  A practical topic that is a natural extension of "Easy whisking". We apply the techniques we have already learnt more intensively and learn to apply them to different parts of the body.

  This time we are working with a richer steam, as is usual in many saunas. During the workshop, we learn how to fully steam these parts of the body:

  • feet (lying down and lifting them up),
  • legs - thighs (lying down, lifting them up, turning them over),
  • knees,
  • shins hands - hands,
  • biceps,
  • arms (holding them up, lifting them up)
  • abdomen (swiping them up, stroking them,
  • chest (swinging) chest (swiping, stroking),
  • neck
  • sacrum (lower back)
  • shoulders, shoulder blades

   

  Students are also taught general bathing strategy, ergonomics of bathing, principles of safe bathing.

• Skin peeling

  Practical topic covering the following subjects:

  • Production of sauna scrub mixtures,
  • Ergonomics of working with the body in the sauna,
  • Body scrubbing and rubbing

  In the sauna, moisture and heat soften the skin, allowing the top layer of dead cells to be easily removed, along with any accumulated impurities. Exfoliated skin becomes smooth and soft, and the pores open up – now it is ready to absorb nourishing products and masks. Dry and thin skin should be exfoliated carefully, using gentler products, while oily, acne-prone, and impure skin simply needs exfoliation – it helps to restore its cleanliness and oil balance. However, this product should not be overused. By exfoliating the skin too often and too vigorously, we risk irritating it and upsetting its natural balance. For most people (remember, our skin is different), gentle exfoliation once a week is sufficient, while deep exfoliation should be done once every two weeks or even once a month.
