Dermaplaning at home is a skincare technique where you use a sharp, guarded blade to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from your face. This exfoliation process aims to leave the skin smoother and brighter. It’s important tot follow proper hygiene and safety guidelines to avoid irritation or cuts. And to keep in mind contraindications. PREPARATION Remove makeup and skincare products prior to dermaplaning. Thoroughly clean your face’s skin with a non-exfoliating cleanser. Apply a small amount of Shave Oil to your skin this will help the blade glide. DERMAPLANE Bring the tool to your skin: Hold your skin taut behind the tool. Place the blade at a 45° angle against your skin. Begin dermaplaning: Use light pressure and move in short, feathery strokes. Start high on your cheekbone and move inward / down along your cheek and jawline. Address areas of concern: Continue along your forehead moving downward. Use above your lip and along your chin as desired. Avoid use on your nose. Rinse or wipe the blade throughout use and most importantly take your time. AFTER CARE When you’re finished, rinse your skin and apply Calming Serum for a layer of protection and soothing. Avoid direct sunlight immediately after dermaplaning and consider use of a SPF. Avoid chemical exfoliation products immediately after dermaplaning. Rinse your tool thoroughly. Remove the blade and rinse the blade, disinfecting it with a wipe of rubbing alcohol. Rinse and disinfect the blade-guard while keeping it in the tool. Re-load the blade for next use, unless you are refilling it with a fresh blade and guard. Don’t use your blade and guard more than three times—prioritizing fresh and clean tools when working with your face’s skin.
