Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses an exfoliating blade to skim dead skin cells and hair from your face. It’s also called microplaning or blading. Dermaplaning aims to make your skin’s surface smooth, youthful, and radiant. It’s also used to remove “peach fuzz,” the short, soft hairs on your face.
Dermaplaning can be used for any skin type and anyone with: acne scars, dull skin, dry skin, sun damaged skin and fine wrinkles.
Here are some benefits:
– Increases absorption of topical products
– Immediately diminishes appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
– Preps skin for chemical peels and treatments
– Creates healthier, more radiant appearance
I’m rather hairy, and I like my makeup to be as smooth and flawless as possible, so blading my face is essential. It’s a painless process and can be done in less than 5 minutes. To do so,I make sure my face is cleansed and dry. I apply witch hazel and then begin balding in short downward motions while holding it at a 45 degree angle. After I am done, I moisturize my face with a facial oil. Watch the full video where I demonstrate how I do it here.

After dermaplaning , you need to be extra careful about sun exposure. Sun damage could reverse the effects of dermaplaning, or create pigment blotches on your freshly uncovered skin cells. In the weeks after a dermaplaning treatment, don’t leave the house without wearing sunscreen on your face.
I do want to stress that this is an quick way to achieve this at home, however find an esthetician near you that can perform the service for you after properly assessing your skin.
