What Should I Apply After Dermaplaning? A Routine That Works
Written by Kerry Benjamin

So you’ve just dermaplaned your skin—now what? The right post-dermaplaning routine can make or break your results. Here’s exactly what to use after exfoliating for a healthy, hydrated glow.
Why Post-Dermaplaning Care Matters
Dermaplaning removes dead skin and peach fuzz, leaving your skin ultra-smooth—but also more vulnerable. This is prime time for absorption, so it’s crucial to nourish your skin with the right ingredients.

A slight tingle is normal. Redness should fade within a few minutes. Always follow with a calming serum and moisturizer.
Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
