Did Dermaplaning Break You Out? 👀
Summary
TLDRThe video script discusses the pros and cons of dermaplaning, a method for exfoliating the skin and removing fine facial hair. While it can result in smooth skin and better makeup application, it may cause breakouts for some due to the anatomy of the skin and the role of vellus hairs in oil transportation. The script explains how these fine hairs act as conduits for sebum, and when they are removed, oil can become trapped, leading to inflammation and breakouts. It also touches on the genetic factors that may predispose some individuals to acne and offers tips for a successful dermaplaning routine without causing irritation.
Takeaways
- 🪒 Dermaplaning is a technique that uses a surgical blade to shave off the fine vellus hair on the face, which can result in smoother makeup application and exfoliation.
- 🚫 Some people may experience breakouts after dermaplaning, which can be frustrating, especially if they were seeking smooth skin for makeup application.
- 🧬 The script discusses the role of genetics in hair growth and skin conditions, including the potential for acne and the presence of vellus hair.
- 🦠 Breakouts post-dermaplaning are not necessarily due to dirt or bacteria but could be related to the anatomy of the skin and the function of vellus hairs.
- 🧐 Vellus hairs are part of the pilo-sebaceous unit and help to transport sebum to the skin's surface, acting as a conduit for this natural lubricant.
- 🪄 Removing vellus hairs through dermaplaning may disrupt the flow of sebum, potentially leading to clogged pores and acne breakouts.
- 🔪 The script mentions different types of razors and dermaplaning tools, including the dermaflash and the Verst, as well as a budget-friendly option from Amazon.
- 🌬 Vellus hairs also serve to protect the skin by sensing touch and helping to keep the skin warm by repelling wind.
- 👩🦱 The video creator shares personal experiences with hair removal and dermaplaning, including a sponsored mention of genetics and a discussion of epigenetic changes.
- 🧴 The creator provides a link to their dermaplaning routine and product recommendations in the video description to help viewers avoid breakouts and irritation.
- 🤔 The video suggests that ingrown hairs, which can resemble acne, are another potential side effect of dermaplaning or face shaving that viewers should be aware of.
Q & A
What is dermaplaning and what does it do for the skin?
-Dermaplaning is a procedure that involves using a surgical scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, resulting in smoother skin and allowing makeup to apply more evenly. It can also help to exfoliate the skin.
Why might some people experience breakouts after dermaplaning?
-Some people may break out after dermaplaning because the removal of vellus hairs can disrupt the natural flow of sebum to the skin's surface. If the sebum cannot escape, it can lead to clogged pores and inflammation, which can result in breakouts.
What are vellus hairs and what is their function on the skin?
-Vellus hairs are fine, usually colorless hairs that cover the body, including the face. They are part of the pilo-sebaceous unit and help to push wind or breeze off the skin to keep us warmer and can also help us sense touch.
How does the removal of vellus hairs through dermaplaning potentially lead to acne?
-When vellus hairs are removed, the sebaceous glands may still produce sebum, but without the hair shafts to transport it to the surface, the sebum can become trapped under the skin. This can lead to inflammation and acne breakouts as the trapped sebum feeds acne bacteria.
What is the difference between dermaplaning and regular shaving?
-Dermaplaning is similar to shaving but uses a more specialized blade and technique. It is designed to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair without causing the same level of irritation or potential for ingrown hairs that can occur with regular shaving.
What are some potential side effects of dermaplaning besides acne breakouts?
-Besides acne breakouts, other potential side effects of dermaplaning can include irritation, redness, and ingrown hairs, especially for those with naturally curly hair or who are prone to ingrown hairs.
How can one minimize the risk of breakouts after dermaplaning?
-To minimize the risk of breakouts, it's important to use proper dermaplaning techniques, hold the skin taut to avoid pushing skin cells over the pore, and follow up with skincare products that help exfoliate and prevent clogged pores.
What is the role of genetics in hair growth and skin conditions like acne?
-Genetics play a significant role in hair growth patterns and the predisposition to skin conditions such as acne. Epigenetic changes and the traits inherited from ancestors can influence factors like hair thickness, oil production, and the skin's microbiome.
What is an ingrown hair and how can it occur after dermaplaning?
-An ingrown hair occurs when a hair that has been cut or shaved grows back and curls into the skin instead of up and out of the hair follicle. This can lead to inflammation and the appearance of pimples, which can be mistaken for acne.
Why is it important to get a proper diagnosis for skin issues that appear after dermaplaning?
-It's important to get a proper diagnosis to differentiate between acne and other skin issues like ingrown hairs, which may require different treatments. This ensures that the appropriate care is taken to address the specific skin condition.
What products and ingredients are recommended to prevent breakouts after dermaplaning?
-The script suggests using products with ingredients that help exfoliate and prevent clogged pores. Specific product recommendations are provided in the description box of the video.

🪒 Dermaplaning and Its Effects on Skin
This paragraph discusses the practice of dermaplaning, a method that uses a female face shaving razor to exfoliate the skin and give a smooth finish under makeup. The speaker shares personal experience and addresses concerns about breakouts following dermaplaning. They delve into the anatomy of skin, specifically the role of vellus hairs, which are fine, usually colorless hairs found all over the body. These hairs serve various functions, including sensing touch and temperature changes. The speaker also touches on personal anecdotes about body hair and the emotional impact of societal beauty standards. The video also humorously mentions a sponsorship by the speaker's 'genetics,' highlighting the role of heredity in personal traits such as hairiness and susceptibility to acne.
🧬 Understanding Acne Triggered by Dermaplaning
The second paragraph delves into the science behind why dermaplaning might cause acne in some individuals. It explains the pilo-sebaceous unit, which includes the hair follicle, sebaceous gland, and the hair shaft. The hair acts as a conduit for sebum to reach the skin surface, which is essential for skin lubrication. When dermaplaning removes these hairs, the sebum may not be able to escape, potentially leading to clogged pores and acne. The speaker also differentiates between acne and ingrown hairs, which can mimic the appearance of acne but have different causes. They provide advice for those prone to breakouts after dermaplaning and share their own routine and product recommendations to mitigate such issues.
📝 Dermaplaning Routine and Product Recommendations
In the final paragraph, the speaker provides a resource link for viewers to learn more about genetics, which is humorously presented as a sponsor of the video. They return to the topic of dermaplaning and offer a comprehensive guide on how to perform dermaplaning safely to avoid breakouts and irritation. The speaker emphasizes the importance of using the correct technique and the right products to achieve smooth skin without adverse effects. They also express a willingness to answer any questions from viewers and sign off with a message of love and anticipation for the next video.

has dermaplaning broken you out this
looks like a toothbrush but it is
definitely not this is a razor a female
face shaving razor and there are some
people who have broken out from using
these let's speak about why derma
planning can make your makeup look
buttery smooth it can help to exfoliate
the skin and it is a wonderful treatment
that fun fact i've been doing for five
years but some people tried dermaplaning
and they realized that they break out
more there was specifically a tick tock
that i reacted to from natalie's outlet
where she shared her experience and how
horrifying that was she just wanted this
smooth skin under makeup she heard all
of these beauty gurus and publications
talking about how amazing dermaplaning
is and it ended up breaking out her face
how frustrating well for some people
this can happen and we're going to talk
about the anatomy of skin to understand
why and what you can do about it and
hello
my fellow hairy wookabees fun fact this
is my natural hair if you didn't know
now you know it's actually much fluffier
naturally but i have product in it to
kind of help tame it i need a good curl
cream and if anyone can recommend one to
me i would love those recommendations
because i have a hard time embracing and
accepting these since i was told they
looked like pukes when i was a child and
you know that emotional trauma has
stayed with me ever since but when it
comes to the hairs on our face they are
different than the hairs on our head i
want you to look at your entire body
with me all over we have these fine
little hairs they're usually colorless
but these are called vellus hairs and
yes we have them all over our face
including underneath our eyes which is
why we know that yes our under eyes do
have pores take that misinformation in
the beauty industry these vellus hairs
are amazing but they're very different
from things like our eyebrows or other
hairs that we often see that are more
wiry and thick and what's the purpose of
these vellus hairs well they help us
feel when our erector pili muscle this
little muscle inside of our skin it
pulls on them and that's what causes a
goose bump when it gets cold or when it
gets a little bit chilly outside these
hairs help to actually push wind or a
breeze off of our skin to keep us warmer
and yes they can help us sense things
like touch so we can be aware of our
surroundings but these little vellus
hairs can be quite frustrating and yes
they can turn wiry you can have a
mustache you can have a beard usually
this happens to men but it can't happen
to women and non-binary friends and yay
genetics they definitely happen to me
now some people tweeze them and some
people pluck them but some people also
want to get rid of this villas hair
that's really all over the face and in
that case because these vellus hairs are
so baby soft you can't really pluck them
so people do opt to shaving now derma
planing is very similar to shaving but
slightly different it's because of the
type of blade used it's the way that
it's held and it's really this small
kind of agile tool that you can use in
these areas i used to use the dermaflash
i now use the verst i tried this one the
twinkle twinkle razor is from amazon if
you're like trying it for the first time
and you don't want to invest a lot then
maybe i would just recommend getting the
first one if you're in a pinch these
will pinch your skin fun fact but i
tried them we're using them as a prop in
this video lingardia leviosa
get the hair off of my nose uh but first
a moment from our sponsor genetics this
video is sponsored by my genetics my
hairy ancestors that escaped world war
ii and world war one i believe they
basically moved all over the place they
lost everything they had to sail across
the atlantic on a ship they had to sleep
on the floor for three years and work
for a dollar a day just to get on
another ship to cross a river to try to
sneak from uruguay into argentina and
get caught and sent back and deported
three times until they finally got over
but guess what they took with them and
didn't have stolen from them the entire
way
genetics and that's what they gave me hi
very gummy smile very curly hair hair
that protrudes from different areas of
the body including orifices such as my
nose my genetics are so kind not only to
be with me for the past 29 years that i
have crawled around this earth but also
through some epigenetic changes from my
childhood passed down for my ancestors
giving us the fuzzy mane and the hairy
wookaby armpits that you uh don't get to
see here today because i strategically
wore a sweater if you're looking to
carry down the traces of generational
trauma in addition to the predisposition
for other mental disorders potential
diseases or maybe some immunity against
those things genetics will always be
there for you through thick through thin
from before you were born till after you
die they are spun into these little
helixes that you get to call a u and
help to create a blueprint for every
single cell that makes up a humanoid
with your name on it but because this
video is sponsored by my genetics
technically it's all the things in my
genome you know that make up amine which
um i mean there are a couple positives
but we can't deny that she goes through
some challenges including some of the
hairy ones and some of the breakout
prone ones which fun fact acne may have
a slightly genetic component and our
skin's microbiome does actually
assimilate to the other people that we
share our homes our kitchens and our
beds with fun fact if you didn't know
here's some data now you know be sure to
go to
www.cassandrabanksonharrygenetics.com
to get your free sample of my dna today
and use that to not clone and to not
replicate because the last thing we need
is another one of these but anyways
back to acne triggered by dermaplaning
we've spoken about how to dermaplane
before and i've actually shared my
dermaplaning routine but why would
removing hairs from the face cause some
people to break out is it spreading dirt
or bacteria is there something in this
that's causing acne no it's actually the
anatomy of skin and what these vellus
hairs do that could be causing breakouts
in some people these vellus hairs are
part of the pilo sebaceous unit this
entire little unit that consists of yes
the hair follicle connected by the
papilla but it also has this oil gland
this sebaceous gland it creates sebum
this oil and you know what the hair does
it acts as a road almost a ladder to get
that oil to the outside world that is
literally how our skin lubricates itself
by pushing oil up that hair shaft now
there's acne bacteria that also lives
inside of this pore that is totally
normal it's anaerobic meaning it doesn't
like oxygen which is why it likes to
hang out underneath the skin but in
small amounts it's okay and it's not
causing any issues and again that oil
can be produced and it can escape and it
can lubricate the top of our skin that
is what our acid mantle is our moisture
barrier that we're always talking about
there's this little layer of oil lipids
fatty acids triglycerides that our skin
produces that actually helps to protect
our skin it's this waxy layer and if you
over strip your skin that is one of the
things you could be removing as well as
the stratum corneum which is this outer
layer of the epidermis but all of that
aside basically the hair acts as a
little ladder for the oil to get out now
what happens if we shave off all these
little hairs we cut them super close to
the skin and these vellus hairs weren't
super thick but all of a sudden this oil
is being produced what if it can't
escape anymore that could cause this oil
to kind of pull up under the skin and
what does acne bacteria like to eat
oil it has a field day it's like
the acne bacteria loves to eat that oil
and what happens when we eat a lot we
gotta use the bathroom well the bacteria
does the same thing this acne bacteria
poops and farts and those waste products
are very inflammatory to the skin so all
of this inflammation starts to happen in
this area the inflammation builds up and
think about it there's no way for it
really to escape the skin so if there is
a clog up here or if moving this razor
over the skin or even pulling the razor
with clean hands and then doing this if
you're pushing some skin cells over that
pore you could be unknowingly using this
motion to actually seal this off
therefore making this a prime spot for a
breakout now when dermaplaning it is
recommended to hold the skin taut we are
taught you know to kind of hold things
this way but for some people who are
very sensitive or who are prone to this
that can cause problems and as you can
see that can cause a breakout because
the oil cannot escape but this is
different than something like an ingrown
hair any man or person who shaves knows
that ingrown hairs can be a pain
or in the leg or in the chin or the
armpit or wherever it is that they
freaking happen because yes they can
happen many a place there are a few
different types of ingrown hairs that a
lot of people who aren't intellectuals
don't know about one of them balls up
under the skin which we're going to talk
about but the other is when the hair
actually gets out of the skin but then
it curls back up and around and it
burrows back into the skin
i'm curly hi that's what happens to my
legs and my armpits and it is painful oh
it's awful but yes the hairs protrude
out of the skin and they curl back in
and just stab you like little hair
daggers just like little praying
mantises the other type of ingrown hair
that many people experience when they
shave is the type of ingrown hair where
they cut this so close to the skin or
where they shave against the grain that
the hair can no longer escape and that
little cut hair is you know cut in an
angle kind of like a blade of grass and
it's sitting right there by the surface
but it starts to ball up and curl up
underneath the skin it can happen to
people who have straight hair but it's
more likely to happen to people who have
curlier hair and if that balls up under
the skin it kind of gets red and
inflamed and you can see where that
looks like a pimple but it's not
actually acne it's not an acne pimple
it's just this little ball of hair in
this ingrown that is inflamed so that is
another thing that i think many people
might be experiencing with dermaplaning
or face shaving but they don't recognize
that it's not acne just because it looks
like acne it looks like cutie bacterium
acnes it talks like cutie bacterium
acnes it walks like cutie bacteria
magnus but it might not be and that's
why it is important to get a diagnosis
but these are the two main reasons that
people get these little pimples or
flushing and for people who break out
after dermaplaning yeah that is
something to consider now this doesn't
happen to everyone but if you do want
this smooth buttery skin but you've had
this happen before what are you supposed
to do but i've left my derma planning
routine and the products i use with the
ingredients that actually help exfoliate
to prevent this problem from happening
inside the description box because i am
prone to having this happen so that i
can get that buttery smooth skin so that
i can get my actives to penetrate deeper
and remove that vellus hair without
causing breakouts or irritation so from
your hairy skincare big sis i hope that
this helps let me know if you have any
questions and always remember to be
youtube both inside and out i love you
and i cannot wait to see you in this
next video

love you guys
