So, what exactly happens when women shave their faces?
How does it make the skin look?
They all weighed in on our most pressing questions about facial hair, and if/how we could remove it.
She explained that this faux pas could lead to “cuts galore.
Those blades are extremely sharp.“Dr.
Nazarianagreed and goes one step further, claiming that shaving yourownface isn’t the way to go.
Women grow vellus hair, which is soft and delicate.
Naturally, Levy believes her own product is the way to go.
She explains that the DERMAFLASH is specifically targeted toward women’s unique needs when it comes to facial shaving.
A razor is primarily designed to remove hair with a secondary benefit of exfoliation.
Her product works the opposite way, with exfoliation first, and hair removal as a bonus.
Furthermore, the DERMAFLASH was designed with safety mechanisms you don’t find on a standard razor.
Your face becomes exfoliated
In addition to removing the hair, shaving also exfoliates the skin.
The results are that “The skin is left feeling smooth and soft and appears more even.”
Every expert I spoke with said this is untrue.
That’s an old wives tale because you don’t get more hair follicles when you shave.
The hair may grow back faster, but you don’t get thicker hair.”
It’s important to note that long-term benefits of face shaving have not yet been determined.
“it’s crucial that you use moisturizer when you are done,” says Dr. Sal.
Sosnick also agrees that moisturizing is one of the most important steps post shaving.
“It’s always important to find [a product] that is both dermatologist and allergy tested.”
If you plan on applying makeup post shave, Dr. Goldenberg says you should wait approximately an hour.
Most do it once a month.”
Dara Levy said the DERMAFLASH was designed to be used once a week.
Dr. Goldenberg stated, “Note that there isn’t much evidence that it helps with anti-aging.
She also says there is potential to do more harm than good if you shave the wrong way.
“Some suggest that shaving ‘down’ actually stretches out collagen and elastic fibers, producing more jowling.”
If you are hesitant about shaving, just exfoliate.
Shaving is just another way to exfoliate.
It’s a different story if you actually have a moustache.
You might need laser hair removal or electrolysis for that.”
A little shave won’t hurt, but I would not recommend it regularly."
He noted, “It all comes down to technique and the right product.”
