Dermaplaning At Home

/ Jessica Julia There is no shortage of ways to remove unwanted hair and exfoliate your skin. Alpha-hydroxy acid, waxing and laser hair removal have their time and place, but when it comes down to it, more people are turning to dermaplaning. The technique commonly used by professionals involves carefully dragging a sharp metal edge across the skin. It exfoliates, basically sloughs off dead cells and removes fine hair (the peach fuzz). Tested and Approved We give the Dermaflash Luxe Anti-Aging Peeling Device high marks. It worked better than any device we tested and left our test’s skin smoother than ever. However, the Skin Camp Dermaplaning Beauty Wand will only cost you a few dollars, and its beginner-friendly design gets the job done. It looks like shaving, because it basically is. In addition to the benefits of exfoliation—think glowing, healthy skin and complexion—removing peach fuzz creates a super smooth makeup canvas. Despite the old rumors, shaving does not make your hair thicker or darker. And trust us, it’s not as scary as it sounds – after all, men have been doing it for ages. There are many tools you can use at home, including razors, electric clippers, and everything in between. To help you narrow down your options, we tested 15 gadgets in the lab to see how well they actually work.
