Try dermaplaning

“I lay down on the esthetician’s reclined chair, ready for my first time getting my face shaved. She began the treatment by removing my makeup, then got to work with a fine razor blade, shaving my face, taking particular care around my under-eyes, nose, and mouth. She carefully went around my eyebrows and chin as well. The actual procedure did not hurt (the blade is not supposed to break the skin), and all I felt was some gentle tugging. [...] While sitting extremely still isn’t the easiest thing, I found it oddly calming. I felt confident in the expert wielding the blade and knew that I would not have as steady a hand had I tried this at home. Post-appointment, my skin felt softer than ever, my makeup went on without a single cake-y or pilling moment, and my skincare seemed more potent than ever”

“As with lots of aesthetic procedures, the dermaplaning treatment started with a cleanser and toner being applied to my skin to make sure it was clean, dry and de-greased (this is pretty essential for an oily skin type like me!). Then, starting at my forehead, Melody began scraping the dermaplaning razor over my skin in short, light movements, with minimal pressure. Then, after working her way down my face - even onto the neck - the treatment was done. And, in case you’re wondering, the treatment was completely painless. Yes, I could feel the blade as it moved over my skin but, if anything, it was relaxing (I could have easily fallen asleep!). It took about 20 minutes in total - so it’s the perfect speedy treatment for instant brightening.”
