Dermaplaning! What is it & Should I Be Doing It?!

Dermaplaning is a skincare technique that involves using a facial razor to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair, commonly known as "peach fuzz." This process not only exfoliates the skin but also enhances the absorption of skincare products and creates a smoother canvas for makeup application.

So how does this help with my makeup? Let us tell you...

  • Smoother Skin Texture
    By removing dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz), dermaplaning reveals a softer surface, allowing makeup to glide on effortlessly and appear more flawless.

  • Improved Product Absorption
    Exfoliating the skin enhances the absorption of skincare products, ensuring they penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

  • Longer-Lasting Makeup
    With a smoother base, makeup adheres better and stays in place throughout the day.

  • Radiant Complexion
    Dermaplaning removes dull, dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and more radiant complexion, which enhances the overall appearance of makeup.

Okay, so its going to make everything better! But... how do i do it?!

Step 1. Start with a freshly cleansed face and use a headband towel to keep your hair from sticking to your face.

Step 2. Use your dermaplane blade on a 45-degree angle and gently stroke in the direction of the hair. We recommend dermaplaning downwards. 

You can choose to dermaplane on either slightly wet skin or dry skin. Soaking wet skin may cause the blade to slip so please handle with care, however a gentle lubricant on the skin may be the thing you need! 
Lubricants we recommend: Aloe Vera Gel, a facial oil or even olive oil will do just the trick!

Step 3. After each stroke, wipe the blade on a cotton pad so you can see the results instantly as you go! Warning: This is extremely satisfying as you see how much hair has come off!

Step 4. Gently wash your face to remove any remaining hairs laying on the surface of your skin and then apply a facial serum.

Step 5. Remain Make-up Free for the day to reduce any chance of irritation.

So now we understand what it does and how to do it, make sure to hook yourself up with the right products!
