12 Best Razors for a Woman's Face
So you've tried all of the most hydrating moisturizers, but you still wish your face looked just a little bit smoother? A practice called dermaplaning—when a dermatologist or medical aesthetician uses a scalpel to exfoliate and remove dead skin and peach fuzz—can help. But if a professional treatment isn't in the budget or you can't get to the salon, there's a widely-available solution: facial razors.
These at-home dermaplaning tools offer similar benefits of in-office treatments—they remove dirt, debris, dead skin and facial hair to smooth and soften skin. Facial razors also leave a cleaner surface for oils and serums to penetrate into the skin deeper, says Leila Aalam, esthetician and founder of Beuti Skincare. And, the practice is safe for most skin types, except for those who have very sensitive skin or experience breakouts, cystic acne, rosacea, or other irritations, she says.
If you're ready to give it a go, grab one of the best facial razors on this list. Then, make sure to thoroughly cleanse your skin and apply a soothing plant-based face oil to calm any redness after. And don't worry. Aalam assures us that your hair will not grow back darker or thicker.
