Biba de Sousa is a celebrity esthetician located in Beverly Hills, California. She customizes facials for actresses such as Miley Cyrus, Emma Roberts, Mandy Moore, Emily Blunt, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who often visit her before red carpet appearances. Her facials start at $300 and go up to $450. First, Biba takes a look at your skin to assess what treatments it needs, then she works in a form of intuitive layering. Some facial techniques she incorporates into her treatments include microdermabrasion to exfoliate and polish off dead skin cells, an ultrasonic skin spatula to hydrate the skin, facial lymphatic drainage, a deep tissue facial massage that includes gua sha, extractions for visible pimples, and a microcurrent to lift and firm skin. Insider’s Caroline Aghajanian tried out the customized facial for a discounted media price to see if it could leave her with tighter, more contoured skin.
