Dermaplaning videos are everywhere on TikTok, and it’s pretty satisfying to watch all that peach fuzz just fall off people’s faces. Beyond that, some users are claiming to have their best skin ever (think: smoother, softer and clearer) thanks to the technique. But can this process, which involves the removal of facial hairs with a razor blade-like device, actually be done safely at home, as social media suggests?
