How to Shave Your Face to Remove Peach Fuzz | According to a Dermatologist

I was bullied in my early twenties once when I told people I did this. Ten years later I come across this video and see it's normal and doctors do it. Thanks for sharing because it reminded me those people were just immature and sexist.

This is not so new. In other hand maybe those people just didn’t know this is a thing, don’t take every thing so personal, only makes you feel sad or mad all the time when others will forget about it almost immediately.

I am 76 and shave my face just like she does. I only do it every few mos. but it's amazing. The hair grows back as peach fuzz it is not course or darker as you might think. I probably should do it more often perhaps once a week in fact, since I still work full time and want to look my best, I'm going to start doing it every week. Try it ladies you will not be disappointed.

[@63Lsp]

Thanks for this! I've been shaving my face for a few years- there's nothing like the feeling of that smooooth skin! I have mature skin, and before I started shaving, I felt like no makeup, tinted moisturizer, etc. looked good- it all kind of made my skin look worse! Shaving gets rid of the peach fuzz and also exfoliates the dry dead skin cells that take so long to turn over at my age! Great video

[@wardahtahir2612]

So how do you hide your pooky hairs when they start to cone out again? Because they are at a stag where you cannot shave them again and so pointy that you can't go without hiding them so what you do?

[@meadowmorph3291]

Finally! Someone mentioned the treatment of peach fuzz on the face especially as you hit your 40s, 50s, and up. Strange things happen to hair in general after menopause, and part of my journey was an increase in peach fuzz. For me, I prefer to wash my face as usual (no triple washing for me), and I use a pretty, pink electric shaver. Afterward, I still get to see the fuzz when I clean out my razor. I do use isopropyl alcohol...to clean my shaver. I've not experienced any ingrown hair, and I don't have to spend $ on all those cleansers. Your skin is lovely btw. So's mine =D

This procedure is very personal and, thankfully, very optional. I can appreciate that many women will have good reason to do it. Maybe I’ll give it a shot, but at 65 I’ve never felt self conscious about peach fuzz. Thank you for this.

[@AuthenticallyAlvarez]

Took a selfie in the arizona desert sun and GIRL the way that sun highlighted every little peach fuzz and hair on my face i was mortified. It was then that I started dermaplaning my face once or twice a month! I never realized just how much fuzz I had on my face😳

[@cynamun467]

I think the hair grows back myth comes from misunderstanding what happens. Before you shave, you have soft hairs that are thin on the ends. Also, your hairs are different lengths. When you shave, everything is the same length and the hairs are wider with sharp edges. It's understandable that people will say this is more hair because it can feel that way. I think if it were explained this way, people would be able to understand. Just saying "it doesn't" won't make a difference because it contradicts their lived experience.

[@G4MMABA3]

[@booklassygarrahan3929]

I have been shaving my face for 30 years. A Korean friend told me that Asian women have been doing it for centuries. I wash it with Vani Cream cleanser, rinse, add more, shave, rinse.

I have been shaving my face awhile, but I learned some tips not only about prep before but after. I am older and it seems my hair grows back faster but I always think of my Dad who used to say (he was scraping his face) because we are. I think the exfoliating of shaving is what keeps men’s face looking good if they do nothing else. Thanks!

I've been shaving my face and neck for about 20 years now (I'm 58) and I use a men's razor and shaving cream (to avoid the "pink tax"). But I really like these techniques too because it seems much gentler. My chin hair is naturally thick and hard so I often have to cover the same area multiple times with the razor to get all the hair off. This can aggravate my skin though so I'll try these tips. Thanks so much! :)

[@kassy481]

I just uses my regular shaver. It automatically has that 45 degree angle just by being the shaver. After I have exfoliated with sugar, then used an electric facial brush with cleanser for a couple of minutes, I towel dry, and ready to shave. I mostly focus around eyes and below. Love the way it feels so smooth. Creams and make up just glide on. I just started doing this here in the last few months and love it.

I've been shaving my face, arms, and legs for years. It does NOT grow back thicker, but it can seem like it did after a few days. Wait a few more. . .and it's the same as before.

Hairs may appear thicker, but that is only because you've shaved off the thin end of the shaft and so that particular hair looks like it's growing in bigger. In reality, it is not bigger. Also, it will eventually fall out and be replaced with a hair of the same size, not a bigger one

[@valerija.lalikova]

Even though the hair does not grow back thicker, it would very useful if you mentioned that it APPEARS to be thicker initially. It happens because the tip of hair thins out with time, so when you shave off that tip, you have the middle of your hair exposed which has the same thickness as at the root. This is more evident in hair on our heads as more times passes between each haircut compared to each shave on your face or legs: the ends get thinned out and a lot of people get split ends as a results, same happens in all rest of our body but it just isn't so evident. Moreover, for some people it happens more than for other, but that already depends on genetics, haircare/skincare and lifestyle.

I got a high end man’s razor and started shaving with a thin moisturizer and I’ve never looked back! Now I use Tinkle razors and do my cheeks as well.

I usually use face wash and my husbands Mach5 razor to take care of my chin hairs that have become insane since I had a hysterectomy. I have been thinking of trying this and your video has answered so many questions for me, the first time I tried YEARS ago I didn't know what I was doing and expectedly had poor results. Here's hoping some education will give better results.

After dermaplaning, my skin felt clammy and wet constantly for about 2 weeks, even without any skincare products on after cleansing. My husband touched my forehead and said, "Ew, gross. What did you do? Why are you slimy?" Then, the stubble-feel started, which lasted about a week. It's been about 6 weeks, and my beautiful peach fuzz is nearly back. I'll be keeping it! I may do my upper lip and side of my nose now and then, but the rest of it will be staying. My makeup does not look better without the peach fuzz - it looks weird and unnatural. Everyone is different. Glad I tried it - now I know it's not for me. And I'm embracing the fuzz!

S0 glad i read this. Validating!

This video just came across .y feed for whatever reason and I'm floored that so many women are doing it....we aren't men!!! That peach fuzz is our God give protection from the daily elements, same as the hair on our arms (even though we shave our legs lol) At some point all of these women will wish they never tried it because who know down the road what skin issues they may encounter🤦‍♀️ I'm soooo glad you stopped! 🙏💖

I'm glad you noted that everyone's different because it's so true! For me it works really well - I've been shaving for about a decade. Mine grows back soft and my skin is softer and less likely to have pimples when I shave regularly. I'm glad you tried it and decided it wasn't for you rather than just writing it off!

Shaving makes hair grow back darker and thicker

[@CoooolAsACucumber]

@@lisapounder1950 and then they go back to the same dermatologists for Lazer hair removal 💰💰💰💰💰😁

[@evelynthomley9424]

Thank you so much!! I’ve been needing to do this, and was scared until I watched your video!! ❤

[@elysespillman3245]

THANK YOU!!! my skin looks and feels fantastic!! will definitely refer to this video again.

[@sandracroley9784]

Ive just heard about this lately...who knew!!! Im 63 and have more fuzz now that im older. I think I have to give it a try. I do have some coarse upper lip and chin hairs...not sure if I'll do those or not, we'll see. For a long time I had sugaring done on my legs, etc., and i loved it...then I'd also have her do my upper lip...worked great...much gentler than waxing. I'm not sure why it's not more popular

Thank you for this great video! I've been wanting to go do microblading at my estethician's, but was hesitant, plus it could be pricey, but now that I can see I can do it at home, I'm going to give it a try, it doesn't look that complicated! Thank you! Just ordered the blades!

[@kishataylor6963]

Where did u order the blades and how did u know which ones to order ?

[@TheDailyStahrdust]

You mean “dermaplaning”…not “microblading”-that is coloring your eyebrows! 😉🤓

[@SargentBubblescom]

This is the best video on face shaving! I used to shave my face and then went to waxing. Now that I'm on Retin A I can't wax anymore, so it's back to shaving. You gave some awesome tips! It's amazing how soft your skin can feel after shaving like that! And i agree - it is SO satisfying to see the hair and gunk come off your skin. I love that part! ❤

[@jq4444]

I've been waxing my face for years, never tried shaving. It would be easier to shave but I guess regrowth will happen faster? Great instructive video, thank you, Dr Sam.

[@marilynalvarez9951]

The misconception that the hair grows thicker is a funny one. Your hair is tapers before you cut it/shave it but when you cut/shave it you are removing the taper end so the thicker "looking" a.k.a. chopped off part looks thicker but it eventually tapers...so is does not grow back thicker, it only looks thicker for a bit until the tips thins out/tapers naturally.

For all of my adult life (I'm in my 70's) I've washed my face w/ Ivory soap and water in the evening shower, immediately after apply moisturizer under eyes w/ my middle finger. In AM, use plain water around eyes & on lids, moisturize under eyes, then use alcohol pad across forehead, nose, and chin. My skin is beautiful. No need for $$ skin care products. Appreciated the advice re shaving.
