Immediately following dermaplaning, you’ll want to cleanse your face gently. A gentle or mild cleanser will remove any debris or residue left behind on the skin’s surface. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleansers, which can irritate the skin.
Next, apply a hydrating serum or face oil. The skin becomes highly receptive to skincare products and topicals after dermaplaning. The removal of the outer layer facilitates better absorption of nutrients, maximizing their benefits. This brief period, typically within the initial 1-5 minutes post-treatment, offers an ideal opportunity to deliver nutrients to the deeper layers of your skin cells. During this time frame, apply your preferred serum, face oil, or moisturizer. However, be sure to avoid skincare products that contain active ingredients such as retinol or any acids as they may cause skin irritation.
