How To Shave Your Face | An Esthetician's Guide 

Shaving starts at 7:25

My Dad and I had a conversation back when I was 26 years old about how men's faces age better because they shave. So I decided to start shaving my face, and my skin looks pretty darned good for 42 years old.

-Cleanse face -Witch hazel over face to dry out face (everywhere you’re shaving) -Feel skin with back of hand to see if skin is dry -Start shaving -Pull skin taught with 45 degree angle and glide blade across skin -Go downward from forehead and go inward -And wipe blade clean after each swipe.

I'm so excited to try this. My face doesn't have peach fuzz- it looks like a goddamn kiwi fruit.

am so glad to hear that I'm not the only woman on earth who shaves. I have a hormonal imbalance that makes me grow a beard. I've been shaving almost daily for many, many years. its never grown back thicker or darker just comes back every day. thank you for letting me know I'm not a freak of nature.

That was a great tutorial. She is absolutely charming and gives a great lecture! She has the natural ability to just make you want to smile. I hope she has a great life and career in whatever she does.

Your deraplaning/shaving face video is awesome. Your skin is UNBELIEVABKE! I had a professional dermaplaning procedure done not long ago and I was so pleased with it but it was expensive! You have properly educated me on how to safely dermaplane at home. I strive to have skin like yours. Just absolutely stunning with no makeup. Thank you!!

Your video is great, you answered any questions that I had along the way- it was perfect. Thank you! Also, your sense of humor and smile are lovely, you made me smile the whole way through!

BEAUTIFUL!!! Im battling hormonal acne that I never even had before. So annoying! Thanks for the video, very informational :)

This video helped me so much! I finally had the guts to shave my ENTIRE face. Such a huge difference.

I love that you went so into detail on this video. It helps for someone who has no idea what to expect. Love it ❤️

Your skin is just beautiful! Thanks for the tips. After endometrial cancer caused me to have to have a complete hysterectomy in my late 30's my facial hair got pretty bad. I mean, it was noticeable before because I have very pale skin and dark hair and some hormone issues, but this was "freak show" quality. So I was spending all my time plucking, and it was making me crazy. Finally I decided to try shaving. I felt like a man, like a freak and I cried before shaving. But as soon as I was done, I saw my face without all those hairs and I hadn't felt so feminine for a very long time! I am excited to try this for the baby hairs and the exfoliating!

This was so helpful compared to many other videos explaining the same subject. You know your stuff and that is exactly what everyone needs. Thank you bb it makes me really want to try it out for myself!!

2 weeks since you last shaved? Wow... It takes like 3 days for mine to grow back! I'm a hairy beast. :(

Awesome seeing women shave on RU-vid. I know a lot of women shave for aesthetic and/or makeup application purposes. It’s great that you’re bringing this into the open so more people can do it without shame. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for being so thorough in your explanations down to what to do at the end including how to clean and store the blade for next time! So many people leave out the important details.

I'm in quarantine and it's my first time shaving my face. I could say that this video have helped me a lot during the process. Thank you

Love your PASSION and delivery of content. Thanks so much!

I just had my mother, and grandparents yell at me for shaving my face, even though I’ve done research and tested it first but ya know what do certified dermatologists and aestheticians know ya know

Ive watched a few how to...videos lately and yours is by far the best! Very informative, great communication with your audience and well constructed 10/10 thanks. Now I feel confident to shave big thanks Freda from Oz

My face looks so much lighter and clearer after doing this. Best video for this technique great video, new subbie!!!

I love you girl watching you makes my heart calm

You're great! Made me laugh while also being totally serious. Thank you for showing me this properly. It is very hard to find a video that details this as well as you did!

This was so helpful!! So glad I took the time to watch it! Thank you!

You are GORGEOUS! Sooo naturally pretty. This was a great tutorial! You're a natural teacher and you're not trying too hard like some RU-vid stars.

Disclaimer: I should have consulted with my doctor before doing this at home. I didn't know it would have caused the problems it did. It was MY FAULT. My advice is, if you've had ANY inflammation or bacteria type breakouts, DO NOT do this at home. I've had lupus for about 24 years and I've always had rosy cheeks, but no breakouts. After doing this at home, my rash has spread to the rest of my face and there are bumps everywhere. I'm being treated for rosacea. The process caused an inflammatory response with some spouts of acne. I didn't know my skin would react so dramatically because I've NEVER had any skin issues growing up. Unfortunately now I have immunosuppressant creams and antibiotics ointments to apply my face daily! Please please please be careful! Do your research. I should have have taken more care myself. And if you're a little hairy, live with it. Again, this was my doing! I just wanted to share my experience so people wouldn't make the mistakes I did.

Amazingly clear and helpful! Thank you so much for being so brave and sharing!

yesssss!!! I've been doing this for a couple months now thanks to you & my insane blonde mustache & FULL ON beard are no more. I love it! Thank yooooou!!! xoxo

Great video! Love dermaplaning! Super informative and helpful for woman wanting to shave their face! I did a video a while back on this a while back but I think it's great to hear info like this from an aesthetician!

Omg ur skin is beautiful!😍 Your face is so clear and smooth❤️

This was so helpful thanks so much girl! Keep putting out great videos!!

You're beautiful without make up! Your skin is gorgeous girl. Thanks for the tips! Blessings!

Best tutorial I've seen about derma blading 👌🏼

I love your detailed instructions, your beautiful face, your beautiful skin! Going to try this and I just subscribed.

Just came across this video and omg I love you so much 😭 it's nice to see people trained in something talking about it but also being a relatable person.

Really great video! You gave so much information that wasn’t in all the other videos I’ve watched. Phew! Glad I watched yours. Thanks.

Thank you for being so thorough and explaining and showing everything so well! I absolutely love your natural beauty. I have so many scars on my face and to top it off, I have a lot of facial hairs. I do shave my face but I have never seen this way before. I will try it, thank you! ❤

Thank you for sharing your expertise. You have an awesome personality!!!!

Seriously this is a fantastic video!!! That you for being so thorough and honest!!!!

This is the best video I have seen on shaving your face. You preemptively answered all the ignorant questions I have seen in other comment sections! I shave my face & have only experienced positive results.

Thank you so much! This was very informative. I've been wanting to try this and wanted to know the professional way. I'm 43 and my hormones are out of whack! Breakouts and hair omg! The astringent and vitamin C before and aftercare is 😉! Excited to try this!

Your video was just the assurance I needed to shave my face, learning technique and aftercare. Thanks for your inspiration. Sandi

you just taught me so many things, you're a hero 💕

Thank you for sharing you're knowledge!!! I have been paying a lot of money getting this done at a salon. You are so funny... love it😁

Omg I literally came back from buying my own blade to do this for the first time after watching your video and WE HAVE THE SAME ONE!!!!! It made me feel way more comfortable and less nervous doing it while watching your video so thankssss ❤️❤️

I'm regretting watching this after shaving my face 😭😭 that was a great tutorial. I'm following you

Fab video! Really informative and beautifully recorded, so thank you.

I've been going all over you to try and find it the best video to show me how to do this and you were as far as the best and you literally have nemo's beautiful skin I have ever seen

Oh my gosh your skin is absolutely gorgeous!

I can’t believe I didn’t try this sooner, my makeup goes on SO well eek I love ut

You are a delight. I'm old and we didn't have skin care when I was growing up. I never could use a brow pencil. My brows were dark and unruly. I tweezed the loose ones underneath and between. I only found one person who was so great my face looked different. They brought out an electric version of this about fifteen years ago for mustaches. I used it on my cheeks the way you do. So much "peach fuzz" came off it was silly. My foundation went on better. I used it above my brows. I have light brown hair and simply had hair and no one talked except for the girls who bleached their upper lip. But since I couldn't tweeze and I didn't need more color shaving above the brow made it clean looking and I didn't get stubbles. It was easy to run between the brows. I'm glad there's a simple one and it's by Ardell. I am not a fan of professional micro-planing. The skin is an issue they don't discuss. I have thin skin. They e been forgotten but glycolic acid peels at the dermatologist leave that glow you loose with age and increase skin cell growth. This is great. I'm in my 60s and my hair started thinning at the hair line in my 50s. Now it's also thinning. Unfortunately that area doesn't react to sitting with a laser cap on. I'm using Rogaine which takes forever to get going and has to be kept up. Hair has grown in front of my ears. Maybe I was sloppy in application. Also it's appeared at the temples. I'm doing this. With light skin and dark hair why not laser it off?

Ooh grrl! Just finished and my face feels incredible!!! Thanks for the great tutorial!

Omg thank you. You answered all the questions I had about this ❤️

This was so helpful thank you very much! Also a side note: Your skin is gorgeous!

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been debating whether I should shave my face or not but this is by far the best explanation and info that I needed to hear before I decided.

Two years later and still so relevant and informative. You were just in time to show me how to do my nose‼️🤣🤣🤣

I liked this feeling so much better. My face looks a lot better. I bet when I take a flash picture, my peach fuss won't show up

OMG - you are so cute! This is awesome and thank you for the informatiion filled and non-judgemental video. Normally I will literally tweeze every single hair (it takes over an hour to get it all, or at least the majority of the hairs - which means the darker ones). So I think I will try it. It would be a relief to find another method that is not so tedious.

Thank u for doing this video!!! Im native American and i absolutely love makeup!!! BUT the fine fluffy peach fuzz on my cheeks and by my jaw really stand out. So honestly thank u for showing a detailed safe and sanitary way to accomplish this!!! Im going to get some supplies at Ulta and give this a try!!!

You are too cute! You cannot tell that you have acne scars at ALL!!! Loved your presentation. Thanks so much!

YES, this DOES remove blackheads! Don't be afraid to say this removes blackheads.

My mother was doing this as long as I remember. She was Okinawan and born in 1926 and it was part of her skin care. Washed her face with dove soap rigorously twice a day and used Ponds cold cream. It may be genetics also but was always complemented on her skin. This "dermaplaning "has been around for decades in Okinawa.

Your video inspired me to try this. Ive had a very hairy face all my life and have waxed/plucked it. I stinkin love!!! The results. Thank you for a great video.

Super helpful video! I've been SO scared to shave my face because I have suuuuper dark hair on my face, but I will definitely be trying it now :)

Omg this video was so helpful I've been thinking about removing my peach fuzz and I've been so hesitant but this video gave me all the confidence in the world thank you so much😊😍

I have hairy sideburns and dealt with a lot of name calling when I was younger.. I tried waxing, threading, hair removal cream, and they all irritated my skin very badly. I've always been embarrassed that I shave my face but now I'm glad to know I'm not alone! I really appreciate this video, your advice and attitude. Just subscribed! Xoxo

Glad you were nice and close to camera /mirror. That was helpful. thorough video!

Thanks! So helpful as I’ve been considering doing this treatment for months now because like so many otger women struggle with it and I commend them for the bravery to fully disclose how nearly all women by middle age, grow back all the velos hair that fell off in utero. I actually went to see the doctor because I was starting to feel like a teen boy, with a thick strawberry-blonde fuzz starting to form a full beard (in the sunlight YIKES!) And eeeew but just likeyou said, hormones are major and I was given a Rx, but the possible side effects aren’t risks i’m willing to take, so I will give this a go. Thank you for giving me the courage I jneeded . & mostly due to your genuineness and.lovely smile TRULY!

followed along with the exact same blade and i'm so happy with the result!!!

I'm very fair with lots of peach fuzz on my jaw, dry skin on my forehead, and far too many dark hairs on my chin (damn getting older!). I was so intrigued by face shaving for a long time and finally took the leap and don't think I'll ever look back! This is a fantastic tutorial - one of the best I've seen on RU-vid (and I've watched a ton). You definitely have a new subscriber. I just wish I'd found you sooner!

Just what I loooove! A well explained tutorial😍

you're so cutee!! and your skin looks great. thank you!

Thanks for the thoroughly informative video, best on the topic so far. You are entertaining yet relaxing to listen to and by the way, even with no make up, you are beautiful and beautifully defined features naturally :)

Plz do a video on getting rid of dark circles under the eyes! :)

I loved this video! Clear, easy instructions! I tend to have sensitive skin, so while shaving I did start to notice some redness and possible razor burn. Had nothing to do with the procedure or your recommendations. Next time I try this my skin will HOPEFULLY not get as red. ❤️ I was able to find the same razors as you from target! I’m trying to take better care of my skin and this was my first step! It looks so smooth!

Very simple and helpful, and awesome tips..great video 💕

you have beautiful skin, I'm 35 & still have problems with my skin. I love make up but have the same issue as you that time of the month, however it takes me longer to get my skin back& I have a lot of black heads, over my whole nose area& the sides & my chin area. I am subscribing to your channel & would love to see a video on how to reduce or diminish black heads.

Great video, I'm going to share with my daughter. Would love to see a video on how to care for 40 year old skin. I know I need to make some changes in my skin care routine. You seem very kind and your skin is very beautiful and glowing. No makeup even needed for you! Have fun in Florida we visit there often!!

That was an amazing and extremely informative video!!! Have you ever used a regular straight razor? My Dad was an old time barber and saw him do it millions of times. Thanks so much!!! I can't wait to try this method.

First time watching your video went straight to Walgreens and I’m already in love with it

You have such a beautiful youthful glow, really struggling to believe that you were 19 "a while ago"!

I'm new to your channel. I subscribed because I think your videos are so good already!!

You have got eyelids to die for! What fun it must be to apply eyeshadow and liner and not get it all caked up in wrinkles. Great job on the vid, too!

Your skin looks fresh and healthy. Great video!

I'm a really fair-skinned asian and I do have lots of peach fuzz/upper lip hair/lower lip hair :')

My makeup looks SO good after doing this. Makeup looks so natural!

Omg just came across your video. Absolutely love the info from a professionals point of view!! Subscribed!!!

pls make a skincare routine! (or tell me if you already have one) your skin is GORGEOUS.

4:06 man, I felt that. I'm very very pale with dark brown hair and I'm also very hairy, the struggle is real😩

This is such a good video! The best video I have seen thus far about face shaving. You are so informative! :)

I loved your video. So excited to try this. I used to use the special cap from my epilator. Thank you.

Thanks for clarifying the procedure. I've been wanting to do this but was hesitant. I feel more confident. Appreciate your help.

You have no idea how much your tutorial has helped me! I dont even need to watch anything else ur amazing❤

I love this girl!! Thank you for the video!

You're a clear communicator and interesting to watch as well. Thanks for the video!

You could not be any better! By far the best vid on this subject, thank you!

Yes face shaving makes you glow especially after weekly facial 🙂
