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.

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.
