    How to Dermaplane your Face at Home

    January 06, 2022

    How to Dermaplane your face at home?

    Dermaplaning is a simple yet effective way to exfoliate your skin, remove peach fuzz, and achieve a smooth, radiant complexion—all from the comfort of your home! If you're new to this skincare technique or looking to perfect your routine, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know, including step-by-step instructions, safety tips, and expert recommendations.


    What Is Dermaplaning?

    Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation technique that uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair (also known as peach fuzz). This process helps improve skin texture, enhances the absorption of skincare products, and allows makeup to glide on effortlessly.


    Benefits of Dermaplaning

    ✅ Smoother Skin – Removes dead skin buildup for a softer, more even complexion.
    ✅ Brighter Appearance – Helps reveal fresh skin and improve glow.
    ✅ Better Product Absorption – Skincare products penetrate more effectively after dermaplaning.
    ✅ Flawless Makeup Application – Foundation and other products apply more smoothly without fine hairs in the way.
    ✅ Gentle and Painless – A quick and easy at-home skincare treatment with no downtime.


    How to Dermaplane Your Face at Home

    Step 1: Gather Your Tools

    • A clean, sharp dermaplaning tool (single-use or replaceable blade preferred)
    • Gentle face cleanser
    • Toner (optional)
    • Moisturiser and SPF for aftercare

    Step 2: Prep Your Skin

    • Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and oil.
    • Dry your skin completely. Some people prefer to use a face oil, but dry skin is recommended for better blade control.

    Step 3: Dermaplane Your Skin

    • Hold the dermaplaning tool at a 45-degree angle.
    • Start with small, downward strokes—never press too hard.
    • Work in sections: forehead, cheeks, jawline, and upper lip.
    • Avoid areas with active acne, irritation, or cuts.

    Step 4: Rinse and Moisturise

    • Splash your face with lukewarm water and gently pat dry.
    • Apply a soothing moisturiser and never skip sunscreen (SPF 50+ is best).

    How Often Should You Dermaplane?

    Most skin types benefit from dermaplaning once every 1-2 weeks. Over-exfoliating can lead to sensitivity, so always listen to your skin. If you have acne-prone or sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist before trying dermaplaning.


    Post-Dermaplaning Skincare Tips

    ✔ Avoid harsh exfoliants or active ingredients (like retinol) for 24-48 hours.
    ✔ Always apply SPF to protect your fresh skin.
    ✔ Keep your skin hydrated with a lightweight, soothing moisturiser.
    ✔ Clean your dermaplaning tool after each use to prevent bacteria buildup.


    Common Dermaplaning Myths Debunked

    ❌ Myth: Dermaplaning makes hair grow back thicker.
    ✅ Truth: Hair will grow back at the same rate and texture—it just feels different because it’s cut straight.

    ❌ Myth: Dermaplaning is only for professional treatments.
    ✅ Truth: With the right tools and technique, it’s safe to do at home!


    Final Thoughts

    Dermaplaning is an amazing way to achieve silky-smooth, glowing skin while enhancing your skincare routine. When done correctly, it’s a safe, painless, and highly effective method of exfoliation. Ready to give it a try? Grab your dermaplaning tool and enjoy the benefits of a fresh, radiant complexion!
