Many women have long touted facial shaving, an at-home, less intense version of dermaplaning. It is the practice of using a razor to shave the peach fuzz and hair off of your face in pursuit of hair removal and smoother, exfoliated skin. There is no shortage of online resources singing the praises of face shaving. But there are, of course, plenty of questions to be asked about the procedure. The first fear many women have is that shaved hair will grow back faster, darker or coarser. Shaving does not change the number of hair follicles in the skin or the rate of hair growth.
A Lot Of Women Are Shaving Their Faces. Here's What You Need To Know.
Should Women Shave Their Faces? | Revelist
Yes, I'm talking about face shaving. And though plenty of women swear by plain old face razors for eliminating peach fuzz on the jawline and upper lip, others fear the side effects. It's a common belief that once you shave your face, you risk thicker and darker regrowth. Shaving, like it does for any other body part, can cause redness and irritation when done too harshly. In order to test all these side effects and determine if they're worth it, I took the plunge and started shaving myself. YOLO, right? I have more downy fluff on my face than a baby chicken does, especially by my cheekbones — my follicles are just dreaming of the day they can grow full-on sideburns.
Here's Everything That Happened When I Started Shaving My Face, Both Good And Bad
I can't believe I'm putting this out on the Internet. And at the risk of never getting a date ever again in this lifetime, here it goes: I shave my face. Never thought Caroline Manzo and I would have something in common , but alas! To kick things off, no, I don't stand in front of the mirror with some Barbasol and a Mach3 and get to work.

After reporting on the face-shaving trend , I decided to test whether taking a razor to my countenance would reap the benefits they skin care maven Kate Somerville and celebrities Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor are among its proponents claim: brighter, softer, even-textured skin thanks to increased exfoliation and better product penetration. Smoother skin also allows foundation to look more natural. Especially after talking to holistic makeup artist Katey Denno about her experience. Many of her clients who are models swear by it, but shaving didn't work for Denno.
