6 Reasons You Should Try Dermaplaning

6 reasons you should try dermaplaning

What is Dermaplaning?

Well, for starters…. you could call it a best kept beauty secret! I’m going to walk you through 6 reasons you should try dermaplaning and how you can do (a version of) it at home!

First, let’s start with what is dermaplaning? Dermaplaning (or microplaning or blading) is not your traditional method of shaving… that’s right; don’t just go grab your hubby’s razor and shave away! 🙈 

6 reasons you should try dermaplaning

1. It’s a gentle and painless exfoliant treatment that removes peach fuzz and dead skin with a tiny scrape scalpel.

2. It helps make the surface of your skin smooth, youthful & brighter and can be done on any skin type.

Think about all that your skin is exposed to on a daily basis. Makeup, pollution, sun damage, etc. This can cause the top layer of your skin to appear dull and can make you look more aged/older. So, removing the dead skin cells bring the newer skin cells forward.

3. As I mentioned before, it removes peach fuzz, dead skin cells and can help reduce acne scarring.

Bridal Hair Accessories: In or Out?

Bridal Hair Accessories: In or out?

Bridal Hair Accessories: In or Out?

Honestly… this is such a personal preference. I for one, LOVE bridal hair accessories, but it does depend on your hair style, dress, jewelry and overall wedding theme. 

I think adding some hair jewelry could be a perfect touch to your bridal look. They can help  solidify your overall vibe; beachy, bohemian, romantic, vintage, rustic, etc. So it’s important to consider your personal style, chosen hairstyle, overall vibe and color palette when choosing an accessory.

Now, let’s talk about scenarios where bridal hair accessories may not be suitable. 

  • if your dress is very busy with beads, jewels, beaded belts, etc.
  • if your planning on wearing a statement necklace or larger statement earrings.
  • if the hairstyle you decide on is overly textured with braids and curls or maybe you have a lot of dramatic highlights. 
  • It’s just not your style.

These are all scenarios that have enough going on. Adding bridal hair accessories may create a very overwhelming/busy look when your beautiful hairstyle itself was all you needed. 

If you just can’t decide, don’t worry! That’s what your hairstylist is there for! I’m happy to use my expertise and steer my clients into the best decision that works for them and makes them feel comfortable and beautiful.
