Im an esthetician. I love that people want to take care of their skin at home! This is technically NOT dermaplaning, true dermaplaning requires a medical grade scalpel that actually takes off the first layer of dead skin cells called the stratum corneum. It’s a much deeper exfoliation. This is facial shaving with a very dull razor. That is a one time use, and one time use only. Many people become very sensitive and experience breakouts from this. These razors are only made for small areas like the brows or on the lip. They’re not made for the entire face. I tell people to do this if they want at home before an event every now and again. But this isn’t something you should do frequently. (Also those price quotes are insane and inaccurate… a dermaplane alone should be between 60-100)

Thank you - I used to do it often and it caused tremendous issues with my face that I still struggle with to this day. I now only get a full face thread if the hair on my face is visible but I don't do it as often as I used to. Trying to stop doing so much to my face and let her be for once!

Thank you for this info !

I like how she alert everyone to make sure the counter is clean, your hands are clean and not just the process how to clean the face. Because have a clean space is first thing to have before doing anything and that's something most of the people forget about...

I already see some comments about how it could break you out and that’s super true, but it works for a lot of people as well. I have very sensitive skin and dry dermaplane - it’s fine for my skin. It won’t work for everyone like most things.

it’s so true Kate💜💜 Between breakouts or getting a cut you have to prevent these things with detailed prep ✨✨✨

I love your voice and the gentle way you have to explain things!

I am so happy to see you are using the same face mask as I am. That mask is sooooo good. I just bought 3 of them like 10 minutes ago. Love you so much, you're such an inspiration❤

Every time I do this my makeup looks insanely gorgeous. Thank you for the tips 😍

I do this and it’s made a huge difference in my dry skin! It’s made my face so much healthier! It’s not for everyone, but dry skin girlies, it’s worth a try!

I love doing this everything goes on so smoothly

I've been watching your content since I was a freshman in highschool... that was 8 years ago now! Thank you for teaching me so much

Love the video Alex! I would love to hear you share your favorite facial microcurrent massager tools in the future ❤

So I love dermaplaning! I do it regularly. Something to keep in mind though is that it IS really irritating. My face gets really red after I do it, and that redness lasts an hour or so afterwards. I just make sure to soothe my skin with products but dermaplaning is definitely not something you wanna do getting ready for a date; do it the night before

i recommend getting a straight edge razor and you buy those double blade razor blades that you snap in half. The blade is a lot smoother, it's cheaper in the long run, and you can ensure you have a fresh new blade every time

Video ideas: Q&A so we can get to know you better again, skincare routine, makeup collection, daily makeup routine, after shower routine, a vlog, etc. of course, only if you like to make those.❤thanks❤❤

Girl you look stunning in the thumbnail i looove that natural makeup on you

these videos help me sleep so much, thank you 🩷

Yes!!! Thank you 💗💗✨✨

I use one with a biodegradable handle. Also I don’t use on my cheeks, as they are too sensitive. I don’t try to take the skin off, only the hair. Some skin will come off but any pressure and it’s irritating. It helps so much for eyebrow shaping, and is fast and good for traveling. Hygiene is key

I've been doing it every month for two or three years.❤❤ My face doesn't break out and usually before shaving after I wash my face I put some oil or vaseline to not irrittate my skin.

maybe you do this unintentionally but all your videos work as asmr for me so i always watch them hahah

And this looks very odd and strange:/

I think that those tiny hair and even some of that deadskin is there for a reason, its uglier than fresh skin BUT protects you superficially from the sun and cold wind somehow and maybe from some toxic dirt to get deeper in! I prefer to exfoliate only with lactic acid once a week and never in the summer, because its one of the most gentle acid and leaves my skin super soft and hydrated :) and i use the cleanser from cerave with a bit of bha for pimples that ofc i rinse out so its not too agressive. I feel like exfoliation could damage the skin if you overdo it honestly, but i might be wrong who knows.

Love doing this at home. I use an actual razor in the shower. Get the baby butt feel with a 2 blade only. The others don’t do it much for me

how much time do i have to wait before applying makeup again?

Without any lubricant?

just did this today following all your steps and girl my face feels amazingggg!!!

Your hair won’t actually get darker and you won’t break out if you do it cleanly and correctly. I’m prone to breakouts and have thick black hair and I dermaplane with no issue. It’s amazing for my skin appearance and helps with applying makeup

Are you doing that to dry skin? I saw someone else recommend that you use a natural skin oil for slip.

I am! You *can* use a gel cleanser (I can recommend because I’ve done this before) I would be hesitant to suggest oil though I see it done often online ✨ the benefit of dermplaning dry is you can ensure you’ve taken a clean layer off your skin and not left any patches 💗 this is the method they will also use in-salon/dermatologist office. I hope this helps!

What nobody tells you is that the peach fuzz on your face actually diffuses the light on your face and gives your face a very soft subtle glow. Also for the brown girls, I would recommend you not to actually do this to your face because it leads to a lot of breakout and your hair grows back in a very different kind of way. I am a brown person. I have had a lot of friends who have done this and it was not good. They Regret doing it.

I think it depends girlie- like I’m brown too and I have SENSITIVE SENSITIVE skin and tons of hyperpigmentation, but dermaplaning has done nothing but like enhance my skin (providing my skin prep b4 + after is good). I think scientifically speaking it’s brown girl friendly providing u follow up with soothing ingredients and make sure the razor is squeaky squeaky clean

It depends on the razor you have, some brands hold up for more uses than others: - if it seems dull - if it irritated your skin when you went to start your treatment these are signs it’s time to replace it with a new one - generally (cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and storing it dry) I can reuse them 4 times before replacing 🩷

I have this done in office once a month and I do it at home once a month. I love the result! It’s done on clean, dry skin for me. Hair never grows back darker or coarser because vellus hair cannot do that - as Alex explained. I don’t experience ingrown hairs or breakouts from this - but everyone is different.

It's ironic but makeup doesn't seem to stay on my face as well without the hair.

I use an oil to create a glide…is that wrong?

No, it’s not! Especially if you cleanse it off after + apply your regular skincare. Ensure it’s non-comedogenic oil 🩷✨

I would additionally recommend using an oil,balm, or some kind of lubricant on the skin to provide that slip to prevent dryness and possible cuts or skin damage

If I follow every single beauty recommendation she shares, I would not recognize myself

while this is going to help the way your make up looks, it is NOT dermaplaning. its just shaving ur face hair and scraping off dead skin

Girl the treatment costs a lot because they’re trained professionals using specialized tools who wont fuck your skin up… a dermatome is not the same as a little face shaver no matter what company tries to sell it out. A plastic surgeon, dermatologist or cosmetologist should be the only one peeling layers off your skin off.

Exactly. Those single (or very low number) use razors aren't made for derma planning in the first place. They've been sold for more than 20 years in Asia to be a quick way to shape the brow therefore being used on a very small area of skin.
