I Use Dermaflash To Shave My Skin And This Why You Should Too!

I remember the first time I tried shaving it did not go as "smooth" as I planned it in my head. I used a BIC three blade razor and well my skin did not react so well. I broke out, I even cut my skin (ouch) and took half of my brow off. Fast forward a couple of years later, I tried waxing the hairs off and this time it went really bad for my skin. I broke out like I had never broken out before and it took months for my skin to clear out. I was left with no desire to remove my little vellus hair, until one day years later my esthetician asked me if I wanted to add dermaplaning to my facial. I went on to tell her my past experiences and she laughed and said girl I got you. 

Turns out the reason I was breaking out before was very obvious, I was over exfoliating by using three blades. I also irritated my skin by using hot wax to my sensitive thin skin. 

I was hesitant but decided to try dermaplaning the fancy name for shaving. It was amazing, my skin looked radiant, smooth, more even tone, my makeup went on more effortless, I needed less product. The only downside was the price tag. It added a whopping $75 to my already expensive monthly facial.

I was shopping for skincare products one day and came across Dermaflash and well it made perfect sense to own this little tool. I can do my own dermaplanning at home whenever I want to and save money! I achieved the same awesome benefits as the professional dermaplaning at a fraction of the price. 

Dermaflash is easy to use, its a three-step system: Prep, Edge, Soothe. First, you prep the face with the included cleanser. Then, insert a new Edge into the device and using short feathery strokes, use the device on the face to remove built debris, dead skin cells, and peach fuzz. Lastly,  soothe the skin with the Hydrating Moisturizer

Here are some more tips to follow, for how to use your dermaflash and have the best experience with it: 

-Use DERMAFLASH one time per week for maximum benefits. 

-DERMAFLASH is for use on a woman’s face only.  

-Follow the three-step method: Prep, Edge, Soothe 

-Charge device overnight before use. Device will not charge with Edge in place.

-Insert a new Edge prior to each treatment.

The last one is the most important to follow, don't reuse the blades. This is how you can cause irritation and breakouts, the secret to dermaplanning success is always making sure you use a brand new blade and use awesome products for your skin to absorb and benefit from. Below is a video of how I use my dermaflash! 

I want to note that Dermaflash sent me a devise for me to try and give my honest opinion. I only review products I love and use. 

Wax Or Shave?

 Hi my loves on this post I want to talk about the two most used methods for hair removal and break them down to see which method id best for you. As an Esthetician I shouldn't even go over the pros of shaving vs waxing, we are told from the first day we step foot in our class to throw away our razors and don't pick it up again. I loved the idea of not shaving again because personally I hate shaving, my skin gets very irritated and itchy and I always cut myself (ouch)! 

Hola mis amores hoy quiero charlar sobre los dos metodos mas usados por nosotras las mujeres a la hora de removernos los cabellos del cuerpo. Como una Esteticista no estoy supuesta si quiera hablar sobe la razuradora ya que desde que empece la escuela nos prohibieron usarlas. Personalmente a mi no me gusta rasurarme pues siempre me irrita y me corto! 

Shaving is the removal of hair by using a razor, shaving is one of the most common and and convenient methods of hair removal. While it is painless people are not always doing it correctly and or not using the right blade for your skin type or the area that you are shaving, this and other factors could lead to skin irritation and cuts. When we shave we are only slicing the hair down to the level of the skin usually your skin feels smooth for the first day or two. 

Afeitarse es el retiro del pelo mediante el uso de una hoja de afeitar, afeitado es uno de los más comunes y convenientes métodos de depilación. Mientras que es indolora la gente no siempre lo hace correctamente y o no usando la hoja correcta para tu tipo de piel o el área que se depile, esto y otros factores podrían llevar a cortes y la irritación de la piel. Cuando afeitamos sólo estamos cortando el cabello hasta el nivel de la piel generalmente la piel se siente suave durante el primer día o dos.

Pros: 

Less expensive then shaving/ Mas economico que la depilacion con cera.

Painless/ sin dolor

Privacy of your own home/ Lo haces en la privacidad de tu casa

Exfoliation/ Exfoliacion 

Cons:

Skin Irritation/ Irritacion de la piel

Cuts/ Cortadas

Ingrown hairs/ pelos enterrados

Time consuming/ se toma su tiempo 

Only lasts a day or two/ solo dura un dia o dos

Waxing is the removal of hair by pulling it out from the root this ensures that you will not see any new hair for at least 4 to 6 week. Almost any body part can be waxed and there are many types of wax suitable for the area. Waxing can be painful and expensive which makes it not as common or convenient as shaving. 

Depilación con cera es el retiro del pelo tirando de él hacia fuera de la raíz esto garantiza que usted no verá ningún nuevo cabello para por lo menos 4 a 6 semanas. Casi cualquier parte del cuerpo puede ser encerado y hay muchos tipos de cera conveniente para el área. Depilación con cera puede ser doloroso y costoso que resulta no tan conveniente como afeitar o común.

Cons: 

Expensive/ Caro

Painful/ Doloroso

No privacy/ No hay privacidad 

Pros:

Hair free for up to 4 weeks/ Libre de cabello por hasta 4 semanas

Hair grow back thinner/ El cabello crece mas fino

With continue use hairs stop growing/ Con uso continuo el cabello no crese 

No cuts!/ Cero Cortadas!!

En la izquierda pudes ver que con la rasuradora solo cortamos el pelo, En la derecha con cera se jala el pelo desde la ruta. 

In conclusion it really comes down to your personal preference I personally prefer waxing over shaving because I have very thin sensitive skin and shaving really irritates me more. I'm also very blind and always cut myself which result in marks on my legs. I also love the idea of one day not growing hair at all which makes the pain worth standing! Whats your favorite method of hair removal? 

En conclusión realmente viene a tus preferencias personales yo personalmente prefiero depilarme sobre afeitado porque tengo la piel sensible muy delgada y afeitado realmente me mas irrita. También estoy muy gorda y siempre corté que resultan de las marcas en las piernas. También me encanta la idea de un día no ver crecer pelo en absoluto hace que el dolor valga la pena! ¿Cuál es su método favorito de depilación?

Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx
