Dermaplaning 101: Why This Pro Treatment Elevates Your Skincare, Your Makeup & Your Confidence

If you’ve ever wondered how some people achieve that glass-like glow, have makeup that looks smooth from every angle, or seem to get way more out of their skincare routine… dermaplaning might be the secret you’ve been missing.

We recently experienced dermaplaning for the first time, and took our audience through the entire journey, from the treatment steps, to the pro skincare advice we received, to how our complexion looked 5 days later. What we discovered was eye-opening for beauty beginners and skincare lovers alike.

This guide explains what dermaplaning is, why it’s becoming a go-to treatment for radiant skin, and how it saves you money by helping your skincare and makeup perform at their highest potential.

What Is Dermaplaning? (And Why Everyone’s Talking About It)

Dermaplaning is a gentle, professional exfoliation technique that removes:

✨ Peach fuzz

✨ Built-up dead skin

✨ Dull, uneven texture

It’s like hitting “refresh” on your complexion. By clearing away the top layer of dead skin and fine hair, your face immediately looks brighter, softer, and more luminous.

For beginners: no pain, no downtime. Just an instant glow that feels addictive.

Why Dermaplaning Makes Your Makeup Look Smoother

One of our biggest motivations for trying dermaplaning was makeup longevity and maxising our money invested in skincare products.

After the treatment:

• Foundation applies like silk and less base-coverage needed

• Makeup looks smoother from every angle

• Your base lasts longer with minimal touch-ups

• Complexion looks airbrushed without filters

If you’re investing in quality makeup, dermaplaning helps every product reach its full potential.

Why Dermaplaning Supercharges Your Skincare Routine

Think of it as clearing the path so your skincare can actually do its job.

By removing dead skin, your products can:

⭐ Absorb more effectively

⭐ Deliver stronger results

⭐ Work deeper into the skin

⭐ Maximise your existing routine

During our facial, Sylvia from Bella Brows broke down how dermaplaning enhances active ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, niacinamide, and hydration serums, helping you get more out of what you already own.

Pro Skincare Wisdom We Learned During Our Treatment

We asked Sylvia every question beginners usually feel too shy to ask:

• The correct way to double cleanse

• What dermaplaning does for your current routine

• Why retinol causes dryness

• Filler & Botox, who they’re truly for

• How to teach teens healthy skincare habits

• How to apply SPF properly

• Gentle but effective exfoliation

• How to reduce enlarged nose pores

• Rosacea-friendly tips

• How to apply eye creams & moisturisers without clogging pores

This guidance alone made the treatment worth it.
