Dermaplaning is a complexion-smoothing skincare technique that uses a blade—usually a scalpel or electronic dermaplaning tool—to gently remove the outermost layer of skin. "It's a physical exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin, dirt, oil, and vellus hair [a.k.a. peach fuzz]," explains Benjamin.
The Benefits of Dermaplaning
•
Manual exfoliation: "It instantly smooths and brightens the skin by removing the outer dead layer of skin," says Benjamin.
•
Better product penetration: The removal of hair and dead skin allows for your skincare products to more easily penetrate.
•
A seamless makeup application: Once unwanted facial hair, dirt, oil, and dead skin has been removed, your skin is now baby-soft and smooth, serving as the perfect canvas for makeup.
