What Happens When Women Shave Their Face? 

Fact: I didn't search for it. It comes to me as an accident😂

Sis went direct into explaining . Thankyou for that and not wasting any minutes

Always beware of the bias when someone is trying to sell you something. If you're female, not bothered by facial hair, and exfoliating regularly with no issues, there's no convincing reason to shave your face. I WILL tell you what happened when I tried it once when the "benefits" were being promoted. My skin initially felt smoother, yes. But then the stubble immediately started growing back in was 10x worse than the peach fuzz that was there since the soft, tapered ends were lopped off. It was itchy and just rough to the touch after going a single day without shaving my face. It was also more noticeable without the naturally tapered ends. I stopped shaving it and it took many months for the hair cycle to start over so it could be the way it was. Selling face razors to women is something I can see people doing because of the dependence it creates. I'd rather pass on spending the money, time, and getting the inevitable irritation from shaving my face constantly.

Guys remember they are selling you something. Doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily bad but this is just a really nicely put together ad for their product. Of course it’s going to be super positive. Also I saw someone else comment that facial shaving seems like just another thing for women to be insecure about. Think about it for a second, you’re probably just fine and pretty without having to do this every 3-5 days 💕 but if you want to try it out or it works for you, then that’s good too. Just putting this out there for the women feeling pressured or hesitant about it.

Someone send this to my mother and tell her that shaving won't turn me into a gorilla 🗿

"What Happens When Women Shave Their Face?" *Me, who doesn't even have a plan of shaving: INTERESTING*

Remember y'all. 1. This is selling an product 2. Experience with shaving depends on skin 3. The photos she used are edited, skin has texture

The hair is there to protect your skin. When you shave it. It exposes your skin to harmful bacteria that goes right into the pores and causes acne. I gave up shaving after realizing this and my skin looks great

Watching the blade take the layer off was kinda satisfying 😂

My father, mother and sister dont have a single hair on their hands and legs but here i am😑....

I tried this like 3 times. My face always looked and felt weird when I did, it shined in a weird way as if it was oily (it wasn't). Also, after the peach fuzz started growing again, it felt so coarse and weird. I got awful breakout and itchiness in some areas. The coarse texture actually made my makeup look worse too. Loving and accepting my peach fuzz is the best ❤

before you shave your face, remind you that everyone’s skin is different for some people it might work and for others it could be the worst mistake ever. pls consider that before you do you’re already perfect the way you are 💘

Honestly I clicked on this video to see the 3D animation blade cutting the hair and the layer because I find it oddly satisfying

I feel like this is yet another non-essential thing for women to feel insecure about.

I shaved my lower legs and yes the hair growth increased and they even became curly then I started waxing and after an year my hair became alligned softer and its easier to wax them off compared to when I first started. I had the same experience for my arms. So definitely not gonna try that on my face

Honestly I think it depends on each person's individual skin type. I shave my face maybe once or twice a month. The only time it makes me break out is if I try to speed up the process and do quick long strokes. Moving very slowly and in extremely small increments never causes problems. I used to shave with a damp face, and noticed that caused more tiny bumps opposed to a washed and dry face. Afterwards I don't put anything on my skin but cold water, and don't use any moisturizers for about a day. Honestly I love the way it makes my face feel, and because it removes dead skin also my face is always glowing the next day. I mainly shave around my cheek and jawbone, and very gently around my lips. I don't touch my forehead. I use the dermablade tools they sell on Amazon specifically for facial shaving. I don't really wear makeup but I have heard it makes makeup go on more smoothly. For sure wouldn't apply makeup though until after at least a day afterwards.

I shaved once, and the first week my skin felt softer and the products I used were better absorbed. However, when hair started to grow back, they all turned up to be ingrown hairs, especially in my cheekbones and chin. My skin started to be more sensitive, as it didn't had the protection of those peachy hairs and other sustances that were taken away when shaving (as it also exfoliates skin harshly). As I result I had cystic acne and I'm in treatment with a dermatologist. I've never suffered from acne before, other than small pimples occasionally, which proves this technique is what damaged my skin severely. It's been two months and I still have some ingrown hair cysts. I'm also struggling with the acne scars it left. Please, ask a professional before and never do it yourself or without someone qualified.

0:36 can we talk about this? the second photo is definitely edited, skin can't look that smooth in real life because SKIN 👏HAS 👏TEXTURE👏 shaving won't make pores disappear

hmmm, really? i saw a video in which a girl said she had trouble with makeup application after she shaved...

People freak out when they see women with facial hair. Aren't we all human? Isn't our hair a part of what we are? Someone some time ago decided that it wasn't feminine and now (some) women can't go without shaving. 👀 To each is own, but don't let it question your beauty or make you insecure. "You're beautiful no matter what they say!" I remember getting facial hair as a teen. I thought something was wrong with me. I played sports and was a tomboy. At one point, I questioned my identity and sexuality because of it. "Am I turning into a boy? I play ball and run track. I prefer jeans, sneaks, and a tee over dresses and makeup. And most of my friends are boys." I remember thinking that as I gazed into the bathroom mirror when I was in middle/high school. Some years later, I learned that I have something called PCOS. Whereas most people say their hair doesn't grow back thicker, mine does. Especially around the jaw and chin lines. I let it grow out during quarantine just for observation. It wasn't full. The chin area was and very noticeable. I also have a mustache, but you can barely see it. During observation, I tweezed one side and shave the other to see which side grew back faster. To no surprise, the side that I shaved did. The hair follicle wasn't removed so it made sense. I also noticed that the hair seems to grow thicker and/or faster the closer it gets to my period coming on. It actually starts itching. Tweezing is time consuming, but definitely worth it. Just takes time and patience. Shaving is convenient, but leaves me with bumps and/or scars. Tweezing may leave a bump or ingrown hair. Haven't tried waxing. Someone mentioned laser hair removal, but I don't know about that. I recently heard that shaving with aloe vera would help remedy the issues with shaving. I also have hyperpigmentation from all the scars. My man's don't have a problem with it though. (He actually suggested tweezing then shaving for smoother skin.) Ultimately, I don't either. It would just be nice if we didn't have to go through all the extra, but I guess that makes it worth it! 🤷🏾‍♀️ Feel free to drop a comment/tips below. I hope this helped someone.

Well I was just minding my own business when this wild RU-vid video appeared.

People are focusing more about how the hair will come back thicker, while me, on the other hand, can't even shave my face bcs i have acne every 2 mm of my face 🙃

I shaved my face and got really bad acne do not recommend if you are oily.

I’m hairy so I’ll never ever shave my face, considering my baby hair are already pretty dark. I spend too much time plucking + shaving, I won’t spend another 10 minutes on getting ready.

1. Men shave regularly but don't have smoother faces. 2. I tried shaving on different parts of my body and the hair did became darker and sharper. Including the upper lip. So just a simple advice: before trying it on your face, try it somewhere else for 3-10 times and make sure you don't get negative effects.

Just remember ladies. Not only is youtube full of dangerous advice but this channel is selling you a product ( im not saying this channel is giving dangerous advice) . Just saying. Because no one else is. ALWAYS DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH FIRST.

When my mom was younger, she shaved her chin, and she said that that was the worst decision she ever made. For years, I’ve noticed she had to constantly keep shaving her chin because dark hair would keep growing back. Years later, I decided to take her to laser hair removal. It worked out for the most part but because she’s old, gray hairs were also growing there and laser removal can’t get rid of gray hairs. If only I had suggested it sooner.

Thank you for this video. Due to antidepressants and pcos I started growing random areas of dark hair on my chin and under it and I only realized recently how to maintain this problem with watching videos such as this. I was originally afraid to open up about it but it's comforting knowing there are many women like myself out there

Internet : Shaving your face is fine. Comments: I tried it. It doesn't grow back thicker. It's fine! Mom: don't do it! Me: *Remembers all the times I got into trouble when I didn't listen to mom.* Puts the razor away

I get awful breakouts after shaving my face despite using new sharp razors, shaving with the grain, washing my face before and after. I think if you have sensitive or acne prone skin it's best to leave the peach fuzz alone. It's there to protect your skin.

Thanks! I usually do it once every 6 months because I’m scared it will grow back ticker but your explanation gives me confidence

wait, and this doesn't happen to men when THEY shave their face?

Nobody searched for this yet everyone needs this

"Hair won't grow back thicker" Me: *Laughs in Indian*

so I bought the razor kit (just the one time thing, not the monthly subscription) and after using it once, my skin became EXTREMELY sensitive and dry. like SO dry. my skin hasn’t never been so dry and sensitive in my life. it was especially dry around my mouth, cheeks, and around any breakouts I had. it didn’t help with my acne or general softness of the skin. my skin was weirdly raw too? i play volleyball and when I sweat, my skin became very irritated and raw, especially when I went to wipe away the sweat, it became especially irritated in that area. this could work for some people, but if you have sensitive or dry skin, this is something I wouldn’t recommend

I'm 53 and started doing this only this year (2022). It's October now. I've done it 3 times this year and my skin looks amazing. Everyone always comments on how bright my skin looks. I wait for it to become thick before doing it again. I have really sensitive skin and numerous allergies. Hasn't affected me one bit.

The hair doesn't grow thicker its just grow finner that's why it looks thick yn

Two sentences guys. It is different for everyone. It can grow thicker and worse, or it can work wonders with no thick hair.

Wow, I never thought about the angle being the reason for that myth. It makes so much sense! Thank you 😊

i'm so happy for the proper explanation! thanks!

0:36 the face on the right is just photoshopped to look smoother. It is completely natural to have skin texture and nobody's make up actually looks that flawless irl

1:48 IMPORTANT: IT DOES GROW TICKER if you have any hormonal problem, so please remember that :)

I'm a man but just shaved my face (not beard) last night and OMG. Amazing results. Probably the best and most effective way to remove dead skin from your face. I think I will start doing this once per month.

K... answer me this then? I shaved my upper leg as a teen and it did grow back course and darker. I started using cream to remove it after that. When I stopped doing that is remained super light and more blonde... Now I have no hair on my upper legs.. while I still have course dark hair on the lower leg where I've been shaving forever. Same for mustache area. Can you explain that?

for everyone with rosacea: DON'T and i repeat, DON'T SHAVE YOUR FACE!!! i know it is tempting but everything from exfoliation to blood flow stimulation will negatively affect your skin and most likely trigger and outbreak. you can still shave parts or your face that are uneffected by rosacea like your upper lip for example but please avoid putting more stress onto your extremely sensitive skin

dead skin is needed to protect other layers of skin. shaving it off is the same as ripping the bark off of a tree

I've been shaving my upper lip for a few years now, very happy with the results.

I've been using those little eyebrow razors to shave my face for years and I love it.

Okay I am a person who is more on the hairy side and even when I waxed or threaded my upper lips I got hair back in like 3-4 days!! So I thought shaving would definitely give me thicker hair and the hair growth will increase but the extremely opposite happened as I shaved my face it remained smooth for a week and the hair did not come back thicker at all and it actually reduced the hair growth and I did not shave my peach fuzz but actual dark hair and now I do it once every 2 weeks and it's hella effective, I am so much more confident about my skin and it has cleared up so much! It doesn't just make makeup application better ( I am not a person who applies makeup, it's just once a month so I didn't do this so that my make-up would be smoother) it makes all your skincare products penetrate deeper and you skin is so much smoother and better. Tips: ( if it works for you) First wash your face then take a steam, apply Aloe vera gel or some morturizer and then shave and after shaving make sure to was your face and apply some soothing mask or aloe vera gel! I personally like to apply the rice sheet mask from the face shop and wallah you have super smooth and beautiful skin. Also do not forget to clean your razor. Ps: I have been shaving my face for a year now and it has changed my skin.

I can’t believe that there is a video recommending that women do this! OMG! NO! Don’t do this!!!! I know two female friends who used to do this and both of them ended up looking like they had five o’clock shadow on their faces (like mend have towards the end of the day)! They eventually had the facial hair professionally removed. Don’t do this!! Think about any time you shave your legs or underarms, it takes a few months but eventually the hair is courser and more visible. Even if you have “peach fuzz” on your face and you want to do this for a smooth makeup application,? You might look better for the first few months, but that will eventually change.m and you will start to notice that the hair on your face is becoming courser and more noticeable. This is such an irresponsible video!

Mine did grow back thicker and darker. Think it depends on how hairy you are generally and your complexion. If you're light haired and have sparse hairs go ahead and try.

ever since i got laser hair removal, i've been getting more bumps than ever. can you make a video explaining laser hair removal and ingrown hair bumps?

These are one of the few times when I envy girls with lighter and thinner hair 😂😭

I would appreciate if you provide scientific reports to your statements. This can be misleading.

I remember i shaved my forehead 2 years ago & had lots of rashes and pimples on my forehead...the mild scars of those acne are still on my head

This did not work for me. I shaved my face a few times some years ago. Yes, my skin felt instantly smoother but that was about it. I ended up having horrible acne along my jawline, and my face would also feel very greasy at times. Thankfully once I stopped shaving off the protective skin barrier along with the hair, my skin got back to normal.

Is no one gonna talk about how the "picture on the right" was smoother bc it's photoshopped, not coz the face was shaved

I've read several personal reviews that are not from beauty editors and all of them heavily regret shaving their face. The stubs that come in cannot be shaved off for around 2 weeks because they're not long enough, which means ur gonna have sandpaper face for 14 days at least

"If you look at the girl on the left, her make up looks more cakey" probably bcoz the girl on the right is airbrushed lmao

as i started a treatment for alopecia areata, i started to grow facial hair, so i shaved and now my face feels softer and smoother, i don't have a beard nor a mustache so i'll keep doing it, been going it for months now

After watching this video Me: I think I should shave my face After seeing comments Me: I should never shave my face

I have PCOS and have been shaving my face since I was 14. Back then it wasn't as accepted for women/girls to shave their faces and I was extremely embarrassed. I'm glad that we are breaking those barriers now.

I shaved my face and the peach fuzz came back as peach fuzz. My scattered black hairs, mostly around chin and upper lip, are the only dark hair I have. It does make your makeup look better and my skin looks more luminous. Time will tell if I end up looking like a bearded woman!

Yes your hair will grow back thicker and darker! That what happened to me, I grew back stubble I didn't have before.

It's better to have dead cells on your face than to deal with acne that happens after you shave. Also the edges of hair get poky.

I don't think that the shaving graphic is correct. When you cut hair off at the surface, I'm fairly confident that the hair doesn't magically grow a slim "tip" like uncut hair has. The hair is not alive and doesn't grow from the surface down... So the blunt end that you're left with when you cut the exposed tip off continues to grow as the hair moves up, it stays blunt. And presumably that feels coarser and may look "thicker" compared to the slim tips of uncut hair. (Like when you shave your legs vs wax).

Shaving has literally helped my skin barrier so much and having my skin care absorb into my skin 😭

Disadvantages of shaving: Regrown hair can be darker and can appear stubbly, especially if the natural hair is thick

No i wont shave my face... No matter what... I shaved my legs now it looks like men's hairy leg

Yeah never doing this again. Im blessed with clear skin and almost never get an angry pimple. Only a few whiteheads near the time of the month. But, im hairy. I've always had peach fuzz and a moustache. Didn't bother me, but i thought why not give it a try. I only shaved half my face so i could compare both sides. My skin looked a lot smoother not going to lie. BUT, im almost instantly prized with some hella angry pimples. Deep, hard and angry ones. Took me forever to heal. And left hyperpigmentation. My hair grew back fairly quickly. Not worth it, for me at least. Im fine with my peach fuzz, nobody notices it other than me anyways.

like many others commenting their results from dermaplanning. I want to share mine as well as it's a little different to others. When my hair started to grow back, it came out the same as before however I started to experience acne on my upper lip area, 'philtrum' which btw, I have always experienced acne but never there. Like ever. And my dermaplanning was done by a professional who told me that dermaplanning is mainly for those that need their makeup to look good on a day soon from the appointment (within that week) and that when the hair is growing back, its common to experience acne. (she only informed me of this, mid procedure hence why I didn't back out) but yes. personally, I find that there are other treatments that would better suit you for your needs. So, advice, do dermaplanning if its for the makeup aspect or the actual hair removing aspect. But for acne, scarring, dark spot, collagen, or dead skin cell removal, do something that's more suited towards that and since it's specialized towards that aspect, it should hopefully get you better results than the dermaplanning would.

I needed this video so much that before i searched for it, yt recommended me well, not all skin types are same. for some skin, it's ok and all fine. for some skin which is sensitive, may cause severe acne problems and damages. Better NOT TO SHAVE without asking a dermatologist. If you can't see a dermatologist, DON'T SHAVE. we don't have visible hairs like men and makeup do hide it most of the time.

Ah, is that why men usually have smooth skin even though they barely/minimally using skincare products? I'm sad now Edit: uh, I didn't expect my comment to become a battle field as I was only joking/being my sarcastic self. As long as you keep it polite and actually educating, go ahead or I'll just delete my comment 🤨 I don't care about likes if it just spreading the opposite

Actually i shave the hairs of my hands and legs. Starting few days it feels thik. But after they are fully grown, they feel soft and not at all thick. This is actual case may be with maximum people here

You can get *all* benefits of shaving your face without actually shaving your face except for the removal of the hair you may be insecure about. Many people actually do it and regret it for one reason or another, usually caused cystic breakouts..etc. Unless you are insecure about the hair, don't bother doing this.

Girlie made the video short, educational, and simple. 👏👏👏

Okay but anyone else with sensitive skin scared of trying this?? 😭

Okay so it was recommended right you haven't search for it Edit: Thankyou so much for so many likes I've never gotten this many likes 😂❤😘 Edit: thankyou so much for 871 likes mom I'm famous now !!! Edit : 912 yall I love you so much !!!.. Edit: oh lord 1.3k likes 😱 Edit: stop yall are so kind

I went in for derma plane about six months ago…it was fine but I kept thinking…this is shaving. It’s just shaving! Since then I’ve been shaving with cream about twice a week. Scary the first time, no breakouts or anything like that. Sooo happy I did it. I’ll be 60 in April🙂

I've never shaved my face and I'm actually proud of it. My skin is so smooth touchwood 😭

Can't we just accept our natural faces? Why would you even need to shave your face if you love it without doing anything to it. Why can't we all just promote self-love instead of providing solutions to the toxic way we judge each other based on looks?

When I shave my face I get ingrown hairs ALLOVER MY FACE! no matter the technique or aftercare or exfoliation it always makes my skin worse and they 90% of the time turn into a pimple. I'm super prone to ingrown hairs and I think if anyone is the same I wouldn't try it, it took forever to get rid of all the ingrown hairs and I still have scars.

tysm this video was so helpful!!🥰

When I was like 14 I thought the sideburns I had was thick and I shaved it and it ended up looking horrifying, and it grew thicker and now it grows till the jawline, since them I haven't shaved or cut it but recently I met up with a friend who said she shaves her face and there's absolutely no problem or thick hair, now I'm kinda torn cause I wanna remove my facial hair but I'm also confused cause I might've shaved it wrong as a kid, so I might get a different result this time

Society is obsessed with shaving nowadays... The last thing I needed to hear on my journey to body acceptance was that the new trend is to shave your FACE 🙄

Why would yt recommend me this video first of all I’m a guy and its 3AM here

your voice is crystal clear 💙

See, everytime I do, it just feels so odd afterwords like I just made the weirdest mistake on earth. I wonder if it's just me

Please, please, please girls 🙏🏻 DON’T SHAVE YOUR FACE‼️DON’T DO THAT‼️ NEVER‼️

I started shaving me legs in my teens, blond soft hair, in my 20's there hair follicles with 2 hairs growing, in my 30's there were follicles with 3 hairs coming out. The hairs all over were thick and dark, then I started waxing and over the years it reversed, so don"t try to convince me shaving doesn't make hair coarser and darker cause it does.

I dermaplane my face and I love it! Here’s my recommendations: 1. Buy a big bottle of almond oil and apply it generously to your face before shaving. 2. Buy the razor and a big pack of razor blades that you put into the razor. Once you’re done with shaving half your face, put a new razor blade into the razor so that it’s super fresh and sharp for both sides of your face. 3. Once you’re done, blot the knicks and cuts (you will most likely have at least a few) with rubbing alcohol. 4. Don’t wash your face or wear any makeup for 1-2 days after. Your “new skin” will be really sensitive and fragile.

HER SAYING THAT IT DOESNT GROW BACK THICKER ME: TAKE THAT SHAVER NOW

1:05 an alternative is light tapping on the face to increase blood flow u don't necessarily need to shave

I have one hair on my face that grows like 3-4 times the length it should grow. It's bizarre, and I regularly shave it off. Other than that, I don't bother.

So, for anyone watching this video wondering if they should do it. I’ve been shaving my face for two years now. I am white, have extremely thin body/face hair which is also very white. I wanted to shave so my skin would look smoother and my makeup/skincare would apply better. Also to exfoliate. My hair hasn’t grown back stubbly, my skin is softer than before and I have a “glow” after doing it. I shave every two to three weeks. I use mens shaving cream and only do it in the shower after I’ve washed my face. If you have thin hair and aren’t prone to acne/ingrown hairs, give it a try.

Ngl, I starting shaving my face (mind you, in the direction of the hair growth) and it still grew back thicker, and blacker 😣 it is so embarrassing

I'm really insecure about my hairy leg and upper lip, I just feel down whenever someone says "Are you actually a male or female?" or "Lmao youre so hairy" 😃 wth stop

Its the fact that the ad i got before the video was for a foundation

I used to not do anything with body hair. (Other than leg hair, my other hair growth were not much to begin with) Then I dated a white guy and he said I should get rid of my body hair, because it’s not attractive. I protested initially but I started to shave and later epilated my body hair. I soon turned from a person who never used any type of moisturiser to someone who buys it regularly and still has dry itchy skin. He was a nice person but I feel I shouldn’t have listened to him on this matter.
