Why I tried shaving my face for better skin at 60

telegraph.co.uk:

dermaplaning party, the popular facial treatment that uses a blade to remove fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) and skim off the skin’s top layer of dead cells for a brighter, super-smooth complexion.

I never thought it was for me because a) I have sensitive skin, b) I’m no spring chicken and have always seen it as a youth-centric, demo-it-on-TikTok kind of trend, and, more to the point, c) allowing a sharp implement anywhere near my face sounds faintly terrifying.

It’s enough keeping my bikini line in trim. But with my interest piqued on hearing that Dr David Jack, London’s dapper aesthetic doctor of distinction, offers something called the Egyptian Facial, in which dermaplaning is a key component, I’m fascinated to see how it plays out in the hands of a professional.

So I hotfoot it to Harley Street to meet his esteemed skincare specialist, Izabela Pawlitka.I’m pretty hardy when it comes to discomfort in the name of vanity.
