Dermaplaning
will cause my
facial hair to
grow back
darker and
coarser.
Just like dieting or increasing fitness, the results of a
new skincare routine take
time (about three months)
to make visible improvement. Most people expect
immediate results, but real
change comes over time
and requires you to be
diligent with your routine.
Dermaplaning is a
manual exfoliation that
removes the outermost
layers of dead skin cells.
It will not cause facial hair
to change texture or color,
but it will enable any
treatment (peel or product) to be more effective.
Sunscreen from last season is just not as effective. If you still have some around in your
medicine cabinet that’s more than a year old,
throw it out and buy a new one. Also, if you
frequently have leftover sunscreen, think about
how much you are using with each application
…a shot glass for your body and a generous
amount for your face, neck and chest.
