Your Husband's Beauty Secret

Have you ever wondered why your husband's face looks so young and feels so soft, while you're busy staving off dry skin and fine lines? The answer is easy: He shaves. In the process of shaving his facial hair, he's actually scraping off dead skin cells and renewing how his skin looks and feels.

So, do you need to shave to get these benefits? Sort of. It's called dermaplaning, and it's an exfoliation method using a surgical-style scalpel to gently scrape off fine facial hair (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells.

The Inside Scoop on Dermaplaning

As marketers of silk pillowcases and accessories, the Mulberry Park Silks team prides itself on staying up on all the latest beauty trends and treatments. And dermaplaning is no exception. Our resident beauty maven, Mulberry Park Silks Associate Brand Manager, Zoe Doyle, has taken the dermaplaning plunge and is a huge fan. "Men age SO much better than women," she told us. "Think about it. It's because they shave their faces."

The experts agree. "There are several variables that make you look old such as thin faded brows and hair on your face," said Danny Craig, an aesthetician in Frederick, Colorado. "If you get rid of the hair on your face, no one will notice what you did, but you'll look five years younger."

Professional Dermaplaning: Your First Step to Smoother Skin

For those new to dermaplaning skin treatment, starting with a professional is key. During a spa dermaplaning session, a trained aesthetician uses precise techniques to remove dead skin cells and unwanted facial hair. The procedure typically costs between $65 and $110, either as a standalone treatment or added to another service.

"In the hands of a skilled professional, dermaplaning will not only remove unwanted hair but also dead skin that makes your face look dull," Craig explains. The results? Immediately smoother skin texture and a more even skin tone create the perfect canvas for makeup application.

Note: When choosing an aesthetician for dermaplaning or any treatment, make sure you are dealing with a licensed professional. Individual states have different licensing criteria but you can check their websites for verification.

Taking Dermaplaning Home

Once you're comfortable with the dermaplaning procedure, you might consider at-home options. The market offers various dermaplaning tools, from electric devices to single-use surgical scalpels designed specifically for skin care. However, caution is essential and proper technique prevents nicks and irritation to sensitive skin.

At-home dermaplaning requires careful attention to these guidelines:

Cleanse the skin thoroughly before treatment

Use the proper angle when removing dead skin cells

Follow up with appropriate skin care products to protect and moisturize

Never rush the exfoliation process

Pro tip: Hold your hair back for dermaplaning, makeup application, or other skin care with one of our pure silk glam bands .
