Your skin looks amazing and 0 pimples

If you're unsure whether or not to shave your face, you're not alone. Many women have the question: “Can this be harmful?” Waxing is the cause of skin irritations for many people, laser treatments are expensive, and plucking hurts... a lot. And for all the brown-haired girls among us: those black hairs on your cheeks or upper lip you just want to not see for a while. Fortunately, there is a simple solution: shaving. And no, not with the same razor you use for your legs, but with a special dermaplaning facial razor. I've been shaving my entire face every month for about 2 years now. Did you know that dermaplaning (the ‘shaving’ of your face) has many more benefits than just removing unwanted hairs?

Your skin becomes smooth and radiant

When you do dermaplaning, your skin becomes baby soft. With the razor, you not only remove hairs but also the dead skin cells on your face, and it also stimulates cell renewal. Additionally, your skin absorbs your skincare products better, allowing the products you use to work even better. Dermaplaning helps toreduce fine lines or wrinkles, making your makeup look even better. A smooth skin provides a perfect base.

No risk of stubble

A common myth is that hair on your face grows back darker and thicker after dermaplaning. Well, that's absolutely not true. Experts say that shaving your face does not affect how thick or dark the fine hairs grow back. The hairs remain the same: they do not get thicker, do not get darker, nothing of the sort. So, dad, I told you so. It's just a myth that you can easily forget.

Better for sensitive skin

For the girls with sensitive skin: dermaplaning is a much gentler option compared to waxing or plucking. Waxing and plucking can quickly lead to irritations, you can get bumps or red spots from it. With a facial razor, the blade glides gently over your skin, reducing the chance of irritations or inflammations significantly. It is therefore a safe and painless way to get rid of those hairs. Just don't forget to use a sharp blade; a dull one won't remove the hairs.

It costs almost nothing

Laser treatments? Expensive. Dermaplaning? Much cheaper. You can have the hairs removed at a beauty salon, but you can also just do it yourself at home. A good dermaplaning facial razor costs almost nothing; often you can get 3 blades for less than 10 euros. Just make sure to clean and dry the blade after use, so it lasts longer and remains effective. Your wallet will thank you!
