How to Shave Your Face | DERMAPLANING 101

first things first what are we doing essentially we're shaving our face we're not using a body hair razor but one of these single blade razors these are inexpensive and you can find them at the drugstore or online I'll link some in the description it's worth learning how to do this because it costs a lot to get every single treatment done at a salon it's just no no no no no no no so I'm going to show you how to do it and I'm going to show you how to do it well if you like this video give it a thumbs up but why would we take the time to do this there are three awesome things that happen when you dermaplane your face the best thing is you get a glow your skin can objectively reflect light properly without the hair interrupting it even with makeup on by removing the dead skin and the hair you get a beautiful glow and you and I both got skinc care and we want it to do like the thing that it's going to that it says it's going to do and when you dermaplane all of the products that you put on top can absorb truly because there's no dead skin blocking them and this last benefit may be the favorite for a lot of us because if you like to wear a lot of makeup or you like natural makeup regardless you will get the softest finish possible and if you are somebody who likes to take pictures if you are a movie star if you're on camera a lot you'll notice you've just photograph or video so much glowier because now your skin can reflect light even when there's products on top there's somebody asking is it going to grow back thicker somebody's asking that question and I'm glad you asked the answer in short is no and in a technical sense if you really do look into this peach fuzz isn't just called peach fuzz it's called vus hair and scientifically they understand the scientists understand that it doesn't behave like body hair it just behaves like V's hair growing back thin and clear like it was in the beginning now let's start the treatment there are a few things that you should do each and every time before you dermaplane your face which includes making sure that the bathroom or wherever you're doing this is actually clean itself so that if you go to use your razor and then you put it down for a second and you pick it back up you didn't put it on a dirty counter and that way you won't get a breakout and then next step is to wash your hands really thoroughly and if you have long nails like me make sure not only are your hands clean but that there's nothing underneath your nails once your hands are clean then you can move on to washing your face and making sure that it is completely clean and when you wash your face make sure that you wash it to the point where you know that you know there's no sunscreen left there's no makeup left and if you wearing like a heavy oil or skin care it's not there anymore final and perhaps the most important prep step probably not the the face being clean the hands being it's all very important but if if you have a tool that you've used before and for some reason it is still covered with skin and hair make sure that it is clean now that you prepare properly you have the best setup for a good outcome and preventing breakouts or getting a cut when you're dermaplaning I think it's good to section out your face so work on the forehead first or maybe one section of your cheek essentially I'm taking an etching motion with my hand and bringing the blade down from the top just above my eyebrows when you're using your blade don't stick it directly to your skin straight in or straight on it should be on an angle like this so that whether you're going down or up it's angled and it won't cut you when it comes to this part on your cheeks I like to use my fingers to hold my skin tight not only do you get a closer dermal plane and make sure that you're removing all of the dead skin as well as the peach fuzz you prevent cuts by doing this whenever you're holding a tool whether it's a dermaplane tool or a makeup brush where you hold the tool is going to determine how much natural pressure is applied if you hold it all the way up close towards the blade it's almost impossible not to have a heavy hand with a lot of pressure applied so it's good to hold it somewhere in the middle when you're holding something really far back you'll naturally apply a gentle press pressure but if it's too far back it'll be wiggling around in your hand causing you to slip so hold it like this coming back to V hair I'm removing the peach fuzz off of everywhere on my face but on my upper lip if I have hair which I used to that had pigment it'd be better to use IPL or to thread that hair cuz it could grow back thicker once you're done you can move right into skin care but if you did touch your phone while you were dermaplaning and then you went and touched your face cleanse your skin again to prevent breakouts I'm adding a moisturizer on top of my skin and now I'm good to go if you have questions about how to do this leave them in the comments below and I will help you troubleshoot so that you can get glowing skin I hope that you enjoyed this video I love you
