I've been shaving my face for years, with a regular razor in the shower, I might add. I am turning 62 next week and I swear this practice has helped keep wrinkles at bay by exfoliating. Never cut myself, hair doesn't grow back coarser, and makeup goes on so smoothly!

I purchased a peach fuzz remover from Revlon and wanted to learn more about face shaving before trying it, and this was a huge help! :)

Just did this at home using real techniques face and eyebrow razor. It was fairly easy and I love the way my face feels!

Thank you - I'll be buying the Versed tool and replacement blades. I bought a different big-manufacturer "dermaplaning" tool but you can't buy replacement blades-I thought I had no other choice. I have to do this about every 3 weeks or more frequently, even though I have blonde hair. And with aging it ain't getting any less frequent!! Whoever takes care of me in old age better do it for me!! For those of you with the stray black chin hair - go and get a certified electrolysis technician to zap them permanently. It's WELL worth it and not very expensive at all.

Thank you for this video!!!!! I followed along your steps and my skin is 😍😍😍 i can't believe it !!! I'm so happy for this !! 😃😃😃

I was noticing a lot more issues with my foundation looking weird, and the little peach fuzzies were slightly darker toward the corners of my lips, so I recently picked up the metal facial razor from Sephora and used it last week.

Hi Dr. Ellis, if you get a sec to answer: 1. 1. Would Paula's Choice BHA liquid be a good option right before or after face shaving or neither? For someone with clogged nose pores. 2. Why is face shaving done on dry skin when all other types of shaving requires shaving cream or oil??? 3. How often do you recommend face shaving? Every two weeks?

I need to tell you... you look so much more beautiful without make up! very beautiful! im excited to try it out myself! thank you for the camparison with the bold man, that is such a good thing to say as I am a bit annoyed about that fear of so many... :)

It grows back as it was , no darker or no thicker

As a guy who shave everyday, your hair doesnt get thicker or grow faster, trust me i wish 😄 1. Shave at the end of your shower with a shaving foam (its basically just a thicker soap, so also cleanses your face) for the smoothest and easiest glide. If you use an oil cleanser at night, that works like a shaving foam too. 2. I wouldnt use any acids besides maybe hyauluronic and such after, as shaving is already exfoliating and removing the top layer of skin, and its extra sensitive after. 3. Shaving often doesnt harm, it actually keeps the skin looking very healthy and clean.

I really like the Miss Gorgeous face shavers. I've been shaving at home for a few years now once or twice a week. I love how so smooth it makes my face feel. I usually use glycolic acid first, then rinse it off, shave, then rinse and apply moisturizer. I am afraid that the glycolic acid would sting if I applied after shaving.

I hope to try this!

Surely peach fuzz/vellus hairs have a purpose like insulating the skin or keeping certain dirt from setting into the skin.

Hi Samm, thank you for this video. What is your experience with woman with thick, dark and a lot of facial hair? Does it look ‘worse’ after a few days because you cut it at a thick part of the hair?

Perhaps give the names of the tools used and also kif it can be ordered online??

I use a basic Bic disposable shaver. I have done the Derm abrasion when I was younger and it was ok. I have the acne ice pitting scars. I shave and do the Divine Glycolic Acid on my face and have noticed a huge change in the texture of my skin. At 64 I just feel blessed to be healthy and little to no sun damage. Again, thanks for your advice ❤️

What aha bha toning pads did you use in this video? I am new to skin care and love your videos! Thank you!!

Threading was introduced to the USA in the last 12 years which is widely used in the eastern countries for ages. I learned it from my mother and it has 0 side effect if it was done effectively. The hair comes back as normal. I am really hesitant for shaving as the hair might come back thicker like male hair so I am not sure of course there is skin benefit to shaving as you made it more clear and if a dermatologist is using why not. But then next step is to learn and practice

Years ago, I was enamored of microdermabrasion. During one session, my esthetician very tactfully mentioned face fuzz and that she'd noticed it on herself. Naturally, I noticed the fuzz on my own face after that. I'm 60 years old and after shaving my face for nearly 25 years, I have no wrinkles. I've only recently begun using vitamin C serum, which is lovely and brightening but haven't tried any acids. I honestly had no idea that my skin should probably look a bit creased until very recently!! I highly recommend this!!

@@nikkidasso6623 hi there. Well, I can highly recommend dermaplaning. I wish I could tell you I use sun screen but I don't. Some skin is more inclined to wrinkle than others - genetics. I've long heard that drinking lots of water is good for your skin and yes, I do that because I don't care for other beverages. I think it would require more water than the recommended amount to actually impact a person's skin. I think that exfoliation and keeping your face clean and properly moisturized are key. I'd opt for skin brightening serums like vitamin c and glycolic acid. As far as exfoliating goes, there are a variety of safe and cost effective ways to do that. Yes to dermaplaning and yes to exfoliating enzymes, which is what I was doing years ago. I used a pumpkin enzyme mask once a week. When I wear foundation, it's a brightening formula. Years ago, I used dewy finish by Clinique and now I use Lift and Luminate by N°7. I've never found a product I love for my neck but feel better about it when I apply a serum (using M3 vitamin C.) I've decided to accept it along with crows feet...which I kinda like.

Judith, I'm in my mid 50s and don't have wrinkles, as such, although I do have a smile line either side of my mouth. But no crows feet or forehead wrinkles, and people are often surprised to learn my age, or hear me talk about my grandchildren. I always thought that it was due to having greasy skin when I was younger, but you've just put me right there! However, my mum and her sisters had younger looking skin up until they were around my age. Then they started getting lots of wrinkles quite fast, but they smoked all their lives and sunbathed using tan oil. I've done neither, so I hope to age a little more gradually from now on. In reply to the woman in her 30s with wrinkles, I'm often mistaken for that age, but it's just a combination of luck and lifestyle. Love the skin you're in and make the most of what you have. Comparisons (even with our younger selves) isn't helpful or good for our wellbeing. We have to live for the here and now.

Love this! I had dermaplaning years ago, and do it at home and I agree with all the benefits you talk about. I've used all the tools you mentioned. I think they are all good options. I wish it were more main stream for women: not such a taboo topic. Thank you for this!

Ladies with natural light hair ..can you "dermaplane" the upper lip hair? Or is that a no-no?

This was super informative and cleared up previous misinformation. Thank you. How would you compare these to threading? I’ve always been apprehensive or fearful of shaving and turned to threading, which I love for the same purposes but my wonder now is, it may not provide the same level of exfoliation? That aside, thank you again for taking the time to create and post.

Very informative and I am going to try it! Thank you! Did I understand correctly that I can then exfoliate after shaving? Can I use a either a physical exfoliant or just a chemical exfoliant (glycolic acid)? Great video!

What about a tiny electric razor (is that what you mean by "multi razor?") What about micellar water as a prep?

Thank you. I`m thinking about trying dermaplaning, I cannot do it now as I`m with my rosacea uncontroled as I`ve been aplying new products. But I will... :)

What sunscreen would u suggest for sensitive skin. Would coconut oil be best???

Please do a video for melasma

Would hyaluronic acid be ok to use after derma planing or shaving? I have diagnosed dry eye and have to watch what I use on my face.

Okay but what's the real difference between thicker hair and hair that just appears thicker? It's not like hair that just looks thick is more desirable. I don't want to risk having thick looking hair all over my face! I don't understand why dermatologists always make this distinction when in reality neither one of those options are desirable. That right there convinced me not to try this tbh because I don't want to be forced to keep doing it forever or have hair that's more noticeable all over my face.
