To dermaplane safely and effectively at home, follow these expert steps:

Preparation

• Start with a clean face by washing thoroughly with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup

• Dry your skin completely; dermaplaning works best on clean, dry skin, although some recommend applying a light facial oil if you have sensitive skin to help the razor glide smoothly

Dermaplaning Technique

• Use a dermaplaning tool or a facial razor designed for this purpose.
• Hold the skin taut with one hand to create a smooth surface.
• Position the blade at a 45-degree angle to your skin.
• Use short, light, feathery strokes moving downward in the direction of hair growth (usually downward)

• Avoid pressing too hard to prevent irritation or cuts.
• Work in small sections, wiping the blade clean frequently to remove buildup

Aftercare

• After dermaplaning, apply a hydrating serum or moisturizer containing soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe, or niacinamide to replenish moisture and calm the skin

• Avoid harsh exfoliants or makeup immediately after dermaplaning to reduce irritation.

Frequency and Cautions

• Dermaplaning can be done as often as needed, typically every 2-3 weeks depending on your skin type and hair growth

• Avoid dermaplaning over active acne, irritated, or sensitive skin.
• Always use a clean, sharp blade to minimize risk of infection or irritation

By following these steps, you can safely remove peach fuzz and dead skin cells at home, revealing smoother, brighter skin
