For women, face-shaving is a subject that has been a little taboo in the past- which is why we’re detailing some of the benefits of dermaplanning.
Thankfully, with its growing popularity in salons, the treatment known as dermaplaning (shaving your face) has become more than accepted- and it has so many beauty benefits!
Dermaplaning is a treatment that is typically performed in salons by estheticians or by doctors. Dermaplaning involves the gentle scraping of your skin with a scalpel or facial razor. Dermaplaning works to remove dead skin cells on the skin's surface as well as the little hairs that are on our faces.
In today’s DIY culture, instead of going to a salon or doctor’s office- you can give yourself a dermaplaning treatment at home! Brands like Schick and Tinkle have created facial razors to use at home that are extremely effective and easy to use.
It’s best to dermaplane your face at night or on a no-makeup day so your skin can better absorb your skincare products overnight, and you’re not clogging your fresh skin and pores with heavy makeup. To shave your face at home, start with a clean and dry face. Pull your skin tight and hold your facial razor tool at a slight angle. Begin by making small strokes in a downward motion. Repeat that until you’ve shaved each area of your face. Use extra caution around your hairline and eyebrows- you don’t want to accidentally remove that hair! The key to shaving your face at home is to use a very light hand. Dermaplaning should not hurt or scratch your skin.
The key benefits of shaving your face is that your skin will be smoother & brighter. Because dermaplaning removes the dead skin cells and peach fuzz off of your face, your skincare products are able to penetrate deeper, making them more effective. Another massive benefit of dermaplaning is that makeup application is more flawless because of your skin’s smooth surface. Dermaplaning is like a natural Photoshop!
If you have sensitive skin or are experiencing a current breakout, dermaplaning may not be right for you as it could make your skin issues worse.
If you’re not confident in shaving your face at home, getting a dermaplaning treatment in an office or salon is the best option! This treatment typically costs anywhere from $150-$250 dollars, depending on the salon, and is a fairly quick process. Our MOBILESTYLES PROs also offer this service so you’re able to book this on-demand service in the comfort of your home, at your office, or while just relaxing outdoors. Our PROs’ attention to detail and customer satisfaction are only a tap away!
You should typically dermaplane your face 1-2 times a month for best results, but those with sensitive skin should do it less frequently!
After dermaplaning, apply a moisturizing product and/or hyaluronic acid to soothe and moisturize your skin. Dermaplaning will make your skin more sensitive to the sun because of the exfoliation so be sure to incorporate sunscreen into your beauty routine if you don’t already.
Now that you know all of the dermaplaning details, get ready to shave your face, have your skincare products absorb better, and your makeup looking more flawless than ever!
We hope this list of benefits of dermaplaning gives you an educated outlook on the practice!
