Have you seen that new TikTok trend where people are shaving their faces? It’s called dermaplaning, and it’s all over the internet now. But what’s the deal with it? Is it just shaving your face? Let’s discuss why everyone is obsessed with dermaplaning and why it’s here to stay!
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation procedure that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This process reveals fresh, new skin and allows for better absorption of skincare products. The result is a smoother, more even complexion.
The Benefits of Dermaplaning:
Exfoliation:
Problem: Dead skin cells can build up on the surface of the skin, leading to a dull, uneven complexion and clogged pores. This can also lead to the little bumps you may see on the side of your face.
How dermaplaning helps with this: By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning helps to unclog pores, reduce blackheads, and improve skin texture. The gentle scraping action of the scalpel reveals fresher, brighter skin beneath!
Smoother Skin:
Problem: Peach fuzz can make the skin feel rough and cause makeup to look cakey.
Solution: The removal of peach fuzz leaves your skin feeling incredibly smooth, making makeup application easier and more flawless. Your skin will have a soft, silky texture that enhances your natural glow. This is especially prevalent in those applying foundation on their skin.
Radiance:
Problem: Dead skin cells can make your complexion appear dull and lackluster.
Solution: Exfoliated skin reflects light better, giving you a natural, healthy glow. Dermaplaning promotes a radiant complexion by removing the barrier of dead skin cells that dull your skin’s appearance.
Product Absorption:
Problem: Dead skin cells and peach fuzz can prevent skincare products from penetrating deeply into the skin.
Solution: With the barrier of dead skin cells removed, your skincare products can penetrate deeper and work more effectively. This means that your serums, moisturizers, and treatments will deliver better results, enhancing your overall skincare routine.
Is Dermaplaning Right for You? Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. It’s especially beneficial for those looking to achieve a smooth, radiant complexion without the use of harsh chemicals. However, if you have active acne, it’s best to wait until your skin has cleared before undergoing dermaplaning.

Post-Dermaplaning Skin Care Tips:
Hydrate: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin nourished.
Protect: Apply sunscreen daily, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays after dermaplaning.
Avoid Harsh Products: Steer clear of retinoids and other strong exfoliants for a few days to allow your skin to recover.
