Dermaplaning Before and After

Dermaplaining

Dermaplaing involves a scalpel, applied with a slight pressure to remove layers of dead skin cells and peach fuzz for the ultimate exfoliation treatment. These techniques range from your at home twinkle razors to surgical blades. A surgical blade means you’ll be getting more surface-level skin-cell removal, using the 10R (R for the rounded end) makes it a lot safer to do on your own. Since the results are more superficial, you can also dermaplane more often. You can choose once a month or twice a month.

This procedure removes dead skin cells but also your facial hair. However, a  common worry is that it can cause stubble. From reading up in dermaplaning I can tell you this isn’t the case. It’s said that facial hair removal has been clinically proved to have no effect on regrowth. Also, you’ll just be left with an extra-smooth base for your serums to be used and soaked up by your skin right after the procedure.

Steps:

1. Start on clean, dry skin. You want your skin as dry as possible and although some would suggest against this I use an alcohol wipe this way the face has no skin film and it is prepped.
2. Working in sections, hold the skin taut with one hand and use your blade with the other.
3. Hold the blade at a 45-degree angle.
4. Try to keep the strokes in a downward motion to avoid irritation. You’ll see dead skin cells and hair start to accumulate as you go.
5. Make sure not to go over any areas that are inflamed or irritated.
6. Rinse your face with a gentle cleanser and use your favorite serum you want to infuse, make sure it is gentle enough if you have sensitive skin.

A few of my Favorites

I must admit when I find something I like I tend to use it a lot of my lives as a repeat in my routine. Well, I love the Ole Hendrickson mask! Not only is a beautiful color but my asking feels clean!

The innovative formula harnesses the power of alpine willow herb and snow lotus—antioxidant-rich botanicals that have adapted to thrive in extreme cold—to soothe, mattify, and refine pores. Add cool water, and the turquoise clay mask thaws into a luxurious lather that sweeps away excess oil and impurities. With AHA and BHA, the mask unveils dramatically improved skin texture. Balance is restored as Green Fusion Complex and neem seed oil help replenish the skin and you see a refreshed, refined, and purified Ole Glow.
