Tweezerman Bright Complexion Facial Dermaplaner

Product Information

There are lots of tools you can use right at home, including razors, electric trimmers, and everything in between. To help you narrow down your options, we tested 15 gadgets in our lab in NYC to see which ones are best, evaluating each one based on its ease of use, overall results, and how the skin looked post-treatment. If you're heading out of town, the foldable face razors from Feather are your go-to for on-the-go. The folding design makes it easy to stash one in your cosmetics case without risking surprise cuts (not to mention, it’s a little more space-saving). These dermaplaning tools are especially well-suited for when you plan on being in a lot of photos during your travel (think: weddings, European vacations, or bachelorette parties) because they exfoliate and smooth your face for flawless makeup prep. But if instant gratification is more your style, facial dermaplaning might be your new favorite skin-care trend. ICYDK, facial dermaplaning (aka dermablading) is when you use a small razor to gently sweep away peach fuzz and dead skin on your face, and you can DIY at home without getting an expensive facial. The result? An immediate glow and softer, more radiant skin — all without blowing your budget. Worden and Ross agree that you can use a dermaplaning tool every three to six weeks. "It depends mostly on your skin and how fast your hair grows," Worden adds. Yes, it is safe to do at-home dermaplaning says Dr. Green. For the easiest experience, applying a basic face oil such as jojoba prior to dermaplaning lets the razor glide over your skin, although this step isn't necessary. You can just use short strokes with the blade in the direction of hair growth, and try not to go over areas twice to avoid over-exfoliation.

Dermaplaning is the process of dragging a tool with a sharp blade, similar to a razor or scalpel, across your face to remove peach fuzz, stray hairs, dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin. "Doing so exfoliates the skin and allows for better penetration of skin care products," Worden explains. According to Dr. Henry, dermaplaning can promote the growth of new skin cells, too. The in-office treatment has gained popularity, whether it's done with dermatologists or at the hands of estheticians in spas, but because we’re always looking for ways to save money and time, the best at-home dermaplaning tools have allowed us to remove peach fuzz (the fine hairs on our faces) entirely on our own. In addition to revealing smooth skin, “makeup will look better when applied,” Dr. Geria says, adding that “some people report reduced hyperpigmentation and improvement in acne scars,” which can be helpful if you’re looking for new ways to even out skin texture from breakouts. It's also the ideal beauty gift for beginners and novices who will be impressed you gifted something that helps improve the texture and tone of their complexion.At Tweezerman, we focus on producing products our customers need. For hair growth in unwanted areas, we have precise and reliable tools to help you. And don’t just take our word for it. Online reviewers consider it the best dermaplaning tool ever. They use words, like “a must-have,” “sold grip,” and “definitely worth the money,” to describe it. Dermaplaning boasts some serious skincare benefits beyond eliminating pesky peach fuzz. This method, typically performed by an esthetician or a dermatologist, uses a surgical blade to scrape away dead surface cells and vellus hair. Think of it as a supercharged form of exfoliation. Benefits Texas board-certified dermatologist Heidi Prather, MD, concurs, adding, “This mechanical skin turnover will also help with the absorption of skin care products. Dermaplaning regularly can enhance the effects of your skin care routine and promote a healthy skin glow.” Which means those pricey cleansers, serums, and moisturizers in your routine will now work harder for you.

And while dermaplaning is safe to practice at home without an expert's supervision, Dr. Green cautions that if you have acne breakouts, rosacea, sensitive skin, skin tags, raised bumps, or moles, you should avoid the treatment because it can aggravate or cut the bumps; otherwise, Dr. Gohara gives the go-ahead.To choose the best dermaplaning tool, we first consulted with two dermatologists to learn more about facial dermaplaning benefits as well as the best tips for at-home dermaplaning. They also weighed in on what features to consider when searching for the best dermaplaning tool, depending on what your needs are. With their expertise, we then researched several brands of dermaplaners to narrow down the options with dermatologist-recommended features. The benefits to your skin from the process, which is a form of exfoliation, are pretty immediate. "Since the dead skin is essentially sloughing off and the hair is 'shaved' off, the skin looks and feels smoother right away," she says. And while other types of exfoliation like face scrubs and peels can be very beneficial to skin, they don't remove hair.

Let's be real—even though peach fuzz is absolutely normal, completely natural, and totally cool to leave as is (it's there for a reason, peeps!), sometimes I wanna shave my face in the pursuit of smooth skin. Orrrr to fix cakey foundation, soften my skin texture, or to be ~rlly~ honest, because a TikTok video inspired me to. And because I often find myself jumping down the #BeautyTok rabbit hole, my latest obsession has been dermaplaning. More specifically? How to do it at home with the right dermaplaning tools. This tool may be a great option for beginners, it was easy to use right out of the box with minimal learning curve. Great at removing really fine peach fuzz and exfoliating skin, it left our complexions soft and smooth. It’s worth noting that it did struggle to remove coarser eyebrow and beard hair. With endless benefits and no downtime needed, we recommend at-home dermaplaning tools that'll work for your needs (and go easy on your wallet).We did notice that the handle was a little larger in circumference than other tools we tried, so it was the tiniest bit harder to grip. The blade was also a little longer than others we tested, so we’d recommend this more for facial dermaplaning and less for precision areas, like eyebrows.
