What Should I Apply After Dermaplaning? A Routine That Works

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.

Step-by-Step Routine: What to Apply After Dermaplaning

Extra Tips for Glowing Results

  • Use your dermaplaning tool once a week in the evening.
  • Always apply skincare on clean, dry skin post-treatment.
  • Avoid heavy makeup or sun exposure for at least 12 hours after dermaplaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a peel after dermaplaning?

Yes—our TCA Multi-Acid Face Peel is gentle enough to use right after dermaplaning and helps boost results.

Is it normal to feel tingling or redness after?

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?

We recommend waiting 12–24 hours so your skin can fully absorb your skincare and calm down.

Should I use sunscreen the next day?

Absolutely. Your skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure, so SPF is non-negotiable.
