Thinking of Dermaplaning at Home? Here’s What You Need to Know First!

Dermaplaning is one of the easiest and most effective ways to reveal brighter, smoother skin and you can do it right at home. But before you grab any razor and start shaving, there’s an important distinction to make: shaving your face and properly dermaplaning your skin are two very different things.

Why Proper Technique Matters

Dermaplaning isn’t just about removing peach fuzz. It’s a precise exfoliation process that helps eliminate dead skin cells while leaving your skin feeling silky smooth and refreshed. Done correctly, dermaplaning can brighten your complexion, improve product absorption, and create the perfect canvas for flawless makeup.

But if you don’t prepare your skin, use the right blade angle, or follow up with proper care, you could end up with irritation, redness, or breakouts.

How to Dermaplane the Right Way: Tips to Get It Perfect

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean, dry face. Avoid heavy creams or oils before dermaplaning.

2. Choose the Right Tool: Not all tools are created equal. The Shape & Shave tool is designed for precision and comfort, so you glide smoothly without tugging or irritation.

3. Blade Angle: Hold the tool at about a 45-degree angle and use light, short strokes. Avoid pressing too hard—let the blade do the work.

4. Work in Sections: Focus on small areas at a time, moving methodically to cover your entire face.

5. Post-Care: After dermaplaning, apply a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen. Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun, so protection is key.

Why Your Tool Matters

Using a dull or improper tool can cause more harm than good—pulling at your skin, causing redness, or even cuts. The Shape & Shave tool is sharp, precise, and engineered specifically for safe, effective dermaplaning at home.
