Dermaplaning Tools
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a unique exfoliation method that, instead of relying on scrubs, loofahs, or sponges, uses a fine razor blade to gently remove dead skin cells, fine hairs, and any trapped dirt or impurities. This leaves your skin feeling fresh and primed for other beauty treatments.
Tips for Dermaplaning:
Prepare your skin
Start by cleansing your face with a natural soap to remove all makeup and lotions. Once your skin is clean, pat it dry thoroughly before beginning dermaplaning.
Use the tool
Pulling your skin taut, make small strokes across your skin using your dermaplaning tool.
Aftercare
After dermaplaning, apply a soothing lotion or moisturizer to calm your skin. Avoid applying makeup or any chemical-based products right away, as they may cause irritation.
What’s the Difference Between Dermaplaning & Shaving?
While both dermaplaning and shaving involve using blades, they serve different purposes and use distinct tools. Shaving is intended specifically to remove hair, whereas dermaplaning is a form of exfoliation. Although dermaplaning does remove vellus hair (or peach fuzz), its primary purpose is to exfoliate the skin for a smoother, brighter complexion.
How Often Should you Dermaplane?
Depending on the speed of hair growth, you should dermaplane once every 1-3 weeks.
Should you Dermaplane with Wet or Dry Skin?
Never dermaplane on wet skin; always ensure your skin is completely dry before you begin.
Is Dermaplaning Safe for all Skin Types?
Dermaplaning is generally safe for all skin types. However, if you experience acne, cold sores, or other skin issues, it’s best to avoid dermaplaning during flare-ups. Additionally, if you have very sensitive skin, proceed with extra care.
