This dermatologist-approved process is a quick and easy way to give your face a glow-up, creating a seamless base for makeup and allowing for better absorption of skincare products, so long as you do it safely and hygienically. If you’re ready to try it at home, you’ll need a clean and sharp razor that won’t irritate sensitive facial skin. To buy: $6 (was $10); amazon.com. For a successful dermaplaning experience, start by applying a light cleansing oil to help the razor glide smoothly, then hold the blade at a 45-degree angle and use downward strokes in order to prevent nicks. Finishing Touch’s easy-to-hold razors have a grippy handle that help out with this. Another key aspect to dermaplaning is to use clean, sharp blades, like you would with a body razor; reviewers appreciate how Finishing Touch’s kits include more than just one razor (as well as different sizes), meaning each purchase can last them a while. Shoppers love Finishing Touch’s razors so much, one even called it a “magical beauty tool.” They use the versatile razor to quickly shape their eyebrows, mustaches, and other stray facial hair. Plus, some have found that their makeup looks better after dermaplaning with these razors. To buy: $10; amazon.com.
