Dermaplaning aftercare
Freshly exfoliated skin is more exposed than usual for a few days. Keep it simple and protected.
Morning
- Cleanse gently with fingertips and lukewarm water. Pat dry.
- Apply your usual serum. Let it absorb.
- Follow with moisturizer.
- Finish with SPF 30+ broad spectrum. Reapply every two hours if you're outside.
Evening
- Cleanse gently, same as morning.
- Apply serum. Let it absorb.
- Follow with a moisturizer or a richer cream if your skin feels dry.
In the first days
- Cleanse gently with lukewarm water for the first 48 hours. No washcloths, scrubs, or exfoliating tools.
- Skip retinoids, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide for five days.
- Wear SPF 30+ every day. Reapply every two hours when you're outside.
- Avoid heat: no saunas, steam rooms, or intense workouts for 24 to 48 hours.
- If you wax your face, wait seven days after your dermaplane.
- Book your next dermaplane in about four weeks. Your skin's rhythm sets the pace.
