Get to know me better

About me

Małgorzata Trawińska, founder of Arwena Skin Institute & Academy

My name is Małgosia Trawińska. For 27 years I have been caring for faces, gaining experience in my own studios in Poland and the Netherlands. Today at Arwena Skin Institute & Academy in Helmond I help my clients solve skin problems and teach them how to consciously care for their skin every day.

In my work, you matter most — your needs, your comfort and the feeling that someone truly listens to you.

First I was a client myself

My path began with my own visits to beauty salons. I loved that time devoted only to me, the atmosphere of calm and the way my skin changed. So I know how much it means to place yourself in the hands of someone you can trust.

Over time, my curiosity about skincare combined with my need to care for people. I wanted to understand skin and help others feel better in theirs. That is how the work began that still gives me satisfaction and never stops interesting me.

How I will care for you and your skin

I begin with a conversation and a thorough assessment of your skin. I want to know what concerns you, what your daily care looks like and what changes you expect. You do not need to arrive with ready knowledge or choose a treatment yourself — I will help you organise the information and set a plan of action.

I choose treatments for the condition of your skin, explain their purpose and course, and take care of your comfort. I watch how the skin reacts and, if needed, adjust the next steps.

Just as important to me is what happens between visits. I show you how to care for your skin at home, how to use the chosen products and what to pay attention to. I want you to understand your care and be able to maintain the results we have achieved on your own.

The greatest satisfaction comes from relationships that last for years. Clients come back, recommend me to their loved ones and sometimes entrust me with the skincare of their daughters. That trust means a great deal to me.

Experience I keep developing

An important beginning of my path was working with the Environ brand. It awakened my curiosity about how skin functions and how to match care to its needs. A special experience was meeting the brand's creator in person, Dr Desmond Fernandes, whose approach to skin physiology remains a source of knowledge and inspiration for me.

Over the years I have taken part in numerous trainings and learned new methods of work. I keep learning, because every skin reacts differently and can set new questions before me. I combine the knowledge I gain with daily practice, careful observation and experience.

Outside the studio

Caring for myself is part of my everyday life. It is not only skincare, but also movement, rest and time for my loved ones. I especially enjoy pilates and general fitness exercises. Cooking, good books and music give me pleasure.

I love the sea and moments spent on a boat — being close to water helps me calm down and rest. I also gladly discover new corners of Europe. I especially like Italy, Spain and Portugal, and in Scandinavia I am drawn to the closeness of nature, the calm and its characteristic cosiness.

I also know that in everyday life it is not always easy to find time for yourself. That is why I want the care we choose together to fit not only your skin, but also the rhythm of your day.

If you do not know where to start or what your skin needs, I invite you for a consultation. Together we will set the first step — with attention to you, a clear plan and my support.
