Schick Hydro Silk Touch-Up Dermaplaning Tool

If you had asked me, before I used this, if I had hair on my face I would have told you no. I am 40, and a daily makeup wearer with a magnifying mirror, but I just never noticed it. I actually bought these because my dry, sensitive skin tends to break out if I don't exfoliate, and heard that dermaplaning was a great way to exfoliate, so I figured I'd give it a shot. As I started the process, I couldn't believe ALL THE PEACH FUZZ that piled up from just a small area. I was sitting down and wearing black pants, so that's where it accumulated and it was nothing short of shocking! Then, after feeling how soft my skin felt and how smooth my makeup went on afterward- I'm now hooked. My makeup doesn't get cakey or anything anymore, and my face looks really fresh all day. I now look forward to dermaplaning because it's so satisfying. AND NO, IT DOESN'T GROW BACK THICKER! And it doesn't get prickly. I promise. It's been years that I've been using facial razors and still don't notice when the peach fuzz grows back in because it's still soft, light, and thin. I've upgraded to a clinical dermaplaner at this point, which is basically a scalpel, but I DON'T recommend doing that until you get the hang of using these- they're much safer, which is why I recommend these ones specifically. They also stay sharp much longer than other brands I have tried. I see a lot of pictures of scratches and cuts in these reviews, which are mostly due to user error (but that's okay, don't give up, it just takes a bit of practice!) Just explain the scratches away at work by saying you rescue orphaned, feral kittens or something on the weekends and learn the technique below. Also remember that as the razor gets dull it can skip and cut as well, so I usually only use it 2-3 times before tossing it. DON'T use it like how you shave your legs, it's a completely different technique than you use to shave anywhere else on your body. As a matter of fact, it's the exact opposite of how you shave anywhere else. You don't use it how you see guys shave their face, either. Tips: 1. Wash your face like usual and let it FULLY dry. No moisturizer or anything else. You want dry and smooth. 2. Hold the razor at a 45 degree angle to your face and very lightly, make tiny strokes in a downward direction. By tiny strokes, I mean maybe just a 1/4 of an inch before moving it back up and down another 1/4 inch. You know, it's a similar hand motion to brushing your teeth, now that I think of it. 3. Start on the side of your cheek below the temple, in the "sideburns" area moving down toward your jawline, as this is the most forgiving area. 4. The tighter your skin, the better, so I often use my left hand to give the skin a little tug from one side to flatten out any wrinkles (like on my forehead) or anywhere else the razor might grab if it's not tight, because that can make the razor skip and cut you. Look up videos on YouTube of "dermaplaning" and that will likely help much more than my description. Your skin might be a little angry afterward, so do it at night to give it a chance to calm down. I use witch hazel on a cotton ball as a toner and a Cetaphil moisturizer before bed, and by the next morning there is no redness left. Any other serums tend to burn, so I take the night off from those as well. Good luck!
