What Serums Can I Apply to my Face After Dermaplaning?

by Alice

What can I put to my face after dermaplaning? Are serums a good choice, and if they are, which ones should I use?

I recently began dermaplaning at home in hopes of reducing some of the age spots on my face.

Before that, I've been using switching between alpha hydroxy acid and vitamin C serums for brown spots and discoloration. But I wasn't seeing much results. So I was hoping that dermaplaning along with the serums might help.

Is it safe to apply these serums right after dermaplaning? If not what should I put on my face right after dermaplaning?

Thanks,
Alice

Thanks for your question regarding what to put on your face after home dermaplaning.

Right after dermaplaning, your skin is like a clean slate, ready to soak up all the goodness from serums and creams.

If you're tackling skin discoloration, this is prime time because dermaplaning sweeps away dead skin cells, making your skincare products work their magic even better.

But, keep in mind that your skin will be extra sensitive immediately after dermaplaning, so it's crucial to opt for soothing and hydrating serums.

As for specific serums to avoid, steer clear of anything harsh like alpha hydroxy, glycolic, or lactic acids. These are too intense for your freshly treated skin.

However, you can consider is a low concentration vitamin C serum. A 5-10% vitamin C serum that is in a moisturizing base might be a great choice.

Of course, everyone is different, so you should do a small patch test first.
