Exactly How To Dermaplane (Because We Know You're Doing It Anyway)

Your glass skin era starts now.

- Lauren Balsamo

First, some basics, because you've gotta understand the process before you master it: Dermaplaning is a form of physical exfoliation that removes your outermost layer of dead skin cells as well as any peach fuzz with a surgical blade, explains licensed aesthetician Joie Tavernise.

Just how sharp that blade is depends on where you're getting it done. Actual aestheticians generally use much sharper ones, leading to a deeper exfoliation, but you can expect to pay much more for a professional treatment (dermaplaning can cost about 8,300 per session, with results lasting around two to four weeks). So it's a good thing the newest at-home tools work almost as well.

Possibly the best part of dermaplaning is that it's quick, painless, and instantly gratifying. There is zero downtime. Your skin will feel super soft and appear brighter immediately after one round, says Tavernise. And with all that buildup and facial hair gone, your makeup will go on so much smoother too, she adds.

Basically, this is pretty much the ideal wedding season any season? for skin prep. Get started with the tools, products, and directions to the right. Happy glowing, friends.
