DERMAPLANING AT HOME

DERMAPLANING

WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?

Dermaplaning, in simpler terms, is like giving your face a gentle, effective shave, and it’s something I’ve found to be incredibly easy to do at home. This technique has become a favorite part of my skincare routine. Not only does it help exfoliate my skin beautifully, but it also removes that light layer of peach fuzz that tends to hold onto unwanted dirt, oil, and even foundation, making me feel a bit self-conscious. By ridding the skin of these tiny hairs and buildup, I’ve noticed a more radiant and youthful look. What’s amazing is how it paves the way for my skincare products to really sink in, working their magic on fresher, more receptive skin. I’ve found that this process significantly contributes to a flawless complexion and a more rejuvenated appearance, which, for me, has become a vital part of staying consistent with my skincare routine.

HOW TO DERMAPLANE?

Firstly, you need a good tool and also to prep your skin before you begin. Dermaplaning I’ve found to be such a wonderful way to give my skin that extra care it deserves. To start, I make sure I have the right tool for dermaplaning and take the time to prepare my skin. I’ve learned that washing my face with a gentle enzyme cleanser works wonders to slough off that layer of dead skin, making the whole process smoother. I then use an alcohol wipe to encourage those fine hairs to stand up for easier removal. As I begin the dermaplaning process, I find it important to hold my skin taut and angle the razor just right, using delicate, short strokes downward. Once I’m done, I apply another round of a light enzyme exfoliant to ensure I’ve cleared away all those dead skin cells that the razor has removed. To wrap up, I adore how my skin feels afterward – soft and supple, so I replenish it with some much-needed moisture and make sure to protect it with SPF if it’s during the daytime. This routine has become a nurturing self-care practice that leaves my skin feeling beautifully refreshed and cared for.

DERMAPLANE MAIN TOOL

Simply put once you use the Swann Morton 10R blade you will not trade for any other blade. However, it is okay to start out with the Twinkle Razors.

SWANN MORTON #10R

For those performing cosmetic and dermaplaning procedures – Swann-Morton’s famous #10R blade, better known as the “butter blade” is now available as a disposable scalpel. The blade is permanently attached to a blue polystyrene handle, eliminating the need to attach and remove the blade from a handle. The #10R blade is ideal for contouring the nose, mouth, and brows. The rounded (bull nose) tip prevents any accidental snagging or scratching thus providing a more effective and consistent finish. Dermaplaning can be performed on small areas of the skin or on the entire face.

Once a month, I indulge in a simple yet incredibly effective treatment that has become a cherished part of my skincare routine. This fabulous method works wonders in enhancing the texture of your skin, leaving it feeling incredibly soft and smooth. There’s a misconception I’d love to address – some worry that removing peach fuzz with a razor will cause it to grow back thicker or faster, but in my experience, that’s simply not the case. It’s a common myth, and I’ve found that it’s just not true. This treatment has only brought about positive changes, leaving my skin feeling wonderfully refreshed and definitely not hairier! Always Finish off with a nice hydrating mask! xo-Kim
