Tiktok magic shaving powder: dermatologist reviews| Dr Dray

Dermatologist Dr Dray reviewing Tiktok magic shaving powder trend.
Today I am reviewing the Tiktok skin care trend of using magic shaving powder for hair removal. Magic shaving powder is being used on Tiktok to remove facial and leg hair. Magic shaving powder is used to remove beard hair and prevent ingrown hairs. Magic shaving powder is attempted in the bikini area as well.

One of the more serious issues that I don’t see a lot of folks talking about is that black folks just shouldn’t be shaving their face with steal razors. Under no circumstances. The razor companies know all about this and they don’t care enough to do anything about it

[@silverserpent420]

There are many black creators that have videos here on YT about that. They usually say this powder helps prevent ingrowns since you're not shaving. Along with lot of other great tips, you just have to specify that in the search bar. It's how I learned about this when looking for an alternative to shaving yrs ago. I have fibromyalgia and shaving is painful. Deal with ingrowns after shaving. I also have psoriatic rhuematoid arthritis and shaving causes bumps and scabbing. I have seen both female and male magic shaving videos. I use the sensitive formula one. With aloe. Exfoliating helps my ingrowns. My skin heals over the pore and causes ingrowns. So I make sure to soften and exfoliate the top layer so it doesn't guide it back under the skin. Warm soaks in the tub help too. Hope this helps. With peace and love.

[@oaktownchick]

[@Keevus03]

This has been around for decades. It was specifically for black men. And black women used it because products like Nair didn't work. So, they used Magic Shave since it was supposed to have been specifically formulated for black people. And it works. They also have one for sensitive skin.

[@tailorforeman7082]

Nair doesn’t work for black people? My whole family uses nair with no issues. The only thing is, I keep it on for 7 minutes in stead of 3 but works like a charm everytime.

[@Keevus03]

@@tailorforeman7082 You just proved my point. The product is supposed to work in three minutes for all hair removal. You have to leave it in longer. That is a problem because now you're absorbing these chemicals into your body, as well as, running the risk of chemical burns. The product does not work for you. You're making it work by leaving it on for longer time.

[@leslieann2698]

I really appreciate your time to explain this. I seen a KZbin video on this and had forgotten about this product from my childhood. I remember seeing my uncles use this. I went to research this right after watching the KZbin video and everything your saying is correct. As a black woman our hair is more prone to ingrown hair. I agree that this should not be used in the down there other than the inner thigh’s. The ingredient is the same that’s in perms & relaxers that were marketed to African Americans for years. I think it’s a product that could be used if you feel your going to follow the instructions just like when we applied relaxers there was a allotted time frame otherwise you could damage one’s hair or scalp. I know this because I am a licensed cosmetologist. Thank you for such a thorough review.

We. DEFINITELY USE IT IN PUBIC AREA,. ITS DONE IN 3 MINUTES WITHOUT ANYYYYYY IRRITATION IT WORKS WONDERS

[@TheAdventuresOfLiz]

I tried using nair for years and every time i got burns or allergic reactions. I've also consulted with multiple dermatologists for advice on shaving to prevent razor bumps and that hasn't worked either. This is the only thing that has worked for me that doesn't cause burning or razor bumps and ingrown hair. In my opinion, everyone has different skin types and what works for some works for some may not work for others. I ALWAYS do a patch test and make sure i follow directions.

The military changed the shaving policy for black soldiers because of what she mentions around 2:00 mark. They also started allowing black soldiers to start wearing protective hair styles; like braids “corn rows”. A lot of people think those are a fashion choice, when in actuality they are intended to protect the hair follicles and encourage growth.

[@christinasampognaro5087]

Personally I've tried every nair and veet product for the most part and nothing removes my bikini line hair and burns like crazy. I also keep trying waxing, but never get the results I want and end up with horrrrrible redness and bleeding in the bikini area. I used the regular version of this stuff last night and there was never even a tingling sensation and it removed ALL hair. No irritation to my skin, not even redness when I first rinsed it off. If nair or veet works for you that's great, but I'm someone with moderately sensitive skin and highly recommend this product for at least the bikini line. I work in vet med and smell lime sulfur all the time so the smell doesn't bother me but definitely has a smell, pretty similar to nair. But I used it everywhere and will most likely continue to.

The best part about Magic Shave is that it doesn't leave any razor bumps! It is absolutely excellent. I suggest people do a small test area to see if they're sensitive. This product is great. It is so much better than Nair or Neet. It stops you from getting ingrown hairs, which is fantastic, on the face.

[@delicialee1459]

I tried it for the first time today. It worked amazing on my legs, chin, lip, side burns, bikini area, but NOT on my armpits!!!! OMG they burned so freaking bad. But after a call to my dermatologist she expressed that being on the medications I'm on, plus I use lume I probably had an adverse reaction because the armpits and bikini area are more sensitive (as you also mentioned). Cool water made it worse!!! Fortunately I have an aloe plant and keep silvacore on hand and after a few seconds of more intense stinging the pain and redness have dissipated immensely.

I’m not qualified to answer to the quality of that mask, but I do use it. Hyram (the skincare guy on here) recommends it like crazy. I find that he typically has the same recommendations as Dr. Dray. I have ridiculously sensitive skin, and the proximate mask does not irritate it! If you use it on broken skin or leave it on for too long, it will burn! But other than that, I love it!

[@jessicagalyon5840]

I’m in the minority but hate that peel. I have sensitive skin & it didn’t irritate it. But it clogged so many pores when I used it. Every time. Same w the cult classic Paula’s choice BHA.

[@kierasaurusfrost]

Jessica Galyon ok I thought it clogged my pores at first too but then I realized that it was actually UNclogging them! Maybe that could be the case for you too? If not, I’m sure there’s other masks out there for you!

I just tried this and so far it worked for me just fine. I get razor burn really really easily and i wanted to see if this would be a good alternative especially given the price. It's been about an hour and a half and I haven't had a bad reaction. Follow the directions and do a small test spot.

Great information Dr Dray!!!!! Okay I came upon this and had to say something... I have used this product for the past 15 years ever since I could shave my dad introduced me to it. This is recommended for very coarse hair and only small areas. I am African American male and use this on my head and face. Please please please start off with a small area first and test because this stuff will BURN YOU if left on to long or sensitive skin be careful. Mix it in a cup again mix it in a CUP... You have to find the time best for you I leave it on for 10 minutes at most and the best result is to take this off in the shower ( a lot of water and high pressured). Do not do not put anything with alcohol on the area right after or it will burn like FIRE. It is a great product because it breaks the hair off at the skin with no razor like bumps but be careful. It is an alternative to using a razor and having hairs curl back into your skin... Be careful please.. Gold or silver can product does not smell as bad but will need to leave on longer..

I think people like the magic powder because it is targeted for black hair removal. Whereas nair and veet may not remove all the hair if it is thick or corse. If more products where made specifically for the hair type people of color have we would not resort to using product such as this. We live in a society where people who make these products such as nair aren’t thinking if it would remove black hair.

I have issues with shaving so I've been using sugar waxing from Moom since 2015. I do prefer hair removal creams for finer hairs like those on legs and face, though recently I am noticing that the wax can't grab all of the underarm hairs anymore, so I need to use the cream there too. Those premixed creams are expensive for the amount given. It is such a pity that Magic powder is done with a company that tests on animals. Would be nice to find a respectable company that doesn't torture anyone for sake of beauty, especially since there are enough information today what each ingredient can do already and avoid needing suffering. 🥺Anyways thank you for this video.

Hi Dr dray! Great video as always. epilation is my preferred method of hair removal and it has been working really well for me. I would love to see a video on epilation! I also saw some people asking for a shaving video. Maybe you can make a dedicated hair removal episode? Shaving, waxing, epilation? Thanks!

[@jt8142]

Michelle Cabrera: Dr Dray talks about epilators in her laser hair removal video.

[@LizbetPCB]

I used to use Nair on my vellous cheek hair, and darker haired upper lip, and began developing hyper pigmentation on my jawline. Then started waxing both areas, with maintenance tweezing. Finally, picked up a razor, and never looked back. Hyper pigmentation, except for one small splotch is gone, and I’m pretty sure that’s from sun damage. I’m fanatical in applying SPF 50, first thing every morning, now, and even reapplying at least one more time each day. Is it too much to hope that splotch eventually disappears, too? Thanks, Dr. Dray. You’re my skincare guru (along with Hyram). Hoping your mom and Tybee are well, too.

[@deadmanlyndon]

i'm gonna try this, my dad used this since i was a kid and i never ever saw him with a razor bump

[@symphicatjackson1166]

My mom has been using this for years and she told me that it was created by black for black people. Being a black person myself I always wondered why it became such a trend for white people and if it was destroying their skin. I mean most of them don't even know the history of it which I find weird. It was made by a black man in jail.

[@moniquecooper5487]

If it is a good product that works wonderfully, does it matter the colour of your skin... And we dont know the history of most products, you see a product on the shelf and try it... I dont think of the history of a bar of dove

[@chronic_payne5669]

What do you mean you don’t know why it became a trend for white people? White people get facial hair, body hair and razor bumps. Seems pretty self explanatory, we all just want to get rid of unwanted body hair without causing pain or costing a fortune.

[@lindahorner4313]

So, who cares if White, Black or Brown skin color if it works ! A little bit racist comment.

Hey Dr. Dray! I have seen quite a few TikToks talking about using “tanning supplements” that contain beta-carotene and other ingredients. Can you make a video discussing these “supplements”? Thanks! :)

Dry brushing your body to exfoliate and remove cellulite is trend and that brush looks like a floor scrubber! Please address this. I would never do this.

[@nicolelamoureux9173]

Dr Dray! You are so wise! I have gained so much from your channel! Question! Is there any role for a RPN(LPN) in a dermatologist office? If so what roads of education would one follow to end up qualified for working in one? I feel so inspired and passionate about skin health and would love to move towards a career around it!

[@noonecares8932]

I know this comment is 2 years ago, I am a LPN and dermatology is my fav. I would love to work with a dermatologist. I love pimple/blackhead/cyst popping. I would think dermatologist hire LPN.

I am a licensed esthetician and someone in medical will get hired before an esthetician and we know the same things and go in depth when it comes to skin and diseases and prevention . Apply best luck

I’ve always wondered about this product and now it’s time to learn. Personally I have always stayed clear of it because it looks like it comes in the same can that Comet you use to clean a bathtub comes it just creates a mental red flag 🚩 Great video Dr. Dray always something new! 👍🏻☕️⭐️

[@mabelidove6813]

Dr Dray, do you have a video about the best recommended way to shave sensitive lady parts like vaginal hair and chest hair?

[@DilansShaveDen]

From what I understand if you leave it on for a limited time there shouldn't be too much issue. Personally though, I still prefer to use a single-bladed razor like a DE safety razor. Cartridges cause ingrown hairs for me. So single-bladed razor, old fashioned shave soap and brush, alum bar, and aftershave splash seems to do the trick for me in preventing shave bumps.

[@jillianstrauss3922]

have you talked about that red serum/mask thing from the ordinary ? i don’t even know what it is but everyones buying and using it on tiktok making it seem like a necessity!

[@MrsCurioCheerio]

If you’re talking about the AHA/BHA solution, it’s just a stronger chemical exfoliant/peel. Not a necessity at all for people who already chemically exfoliate their face regularly.

[@edwinwu5693]

Love your videos dr Dray! You should make a video on your educational background and what made you want to become and dermatologist.

[@tshahhenry8003]

There is a fairly new hair removal cream by the brand woo woo “for Brazilian wax effect”. It would be useful to know whether this is safe at all really as it kinda sounds too good to be true

[@MysteriousDrella]

Ha, I was just about to buy an 'all natural' depillatory powder from one of those nature hippy websites. But I was kind of sceptical. :p + 11 dollars for 200 g was a bit steep for me. Ingredients: calcium carbonate, camellia sinensis (green tea apparantly), ceteareth-20, cetearyl, strontium. First I thought it would have baking soda or something, but no. But some of these also can irritate skin I think. It's not because it's all natural, it can't harm you.

[@infraredplayer]

Pro tip: if you have a lot of hair and it gets tangled and takes forever to get it all off, use a pumice stone while rinsing it from a shower head, it should come off easier just be gentle to your skin and really wait for the mix to dry.

[@ziggy33399]

My husband always uses this. He has a smoooth face (oh, he’s black). I’m Caucasian but have a coarse chin full of hairs (told it’s from birth control 💊 pills). Oddly, over the years, I’ve never even thought of using his Magic Powder ~ until today.

I have PCOS and get coarse hair on my neck that really bothers me, so this was a cheaper option than laser therapy lol

[@MsLivinglegend19]

I don’t know if you’ve tried this but hard wax works so well on coarse hair for pcos and saves you from having to shave/remove hair in the traditional way. Found this the other day after suffering w hirsutism for years !

MsLivinglegend19 I have tried waxing! I’m horrible at it and always make a mess, I’ve tried learning better techniques but I always mess it up lol

[@sharroon7574]

If you can afford it and have the time electrolysis is wonderful. I don't have hormonal issues but I had a couple wierd hairs that kept getting inflamed and it solved the issue. If I had hair on my neck I would totally go that route.

[@fijitubis3507]

@@MsLivinglegend19 waxing encourages more hair growth.

[@MsLivinglegend19]

Fijitubis does it? From everything I’ve read, you’re pulling the hair out at the root so it takes longer to grow back in and for me, it’s definitely decreased my hair in comparison to shaving

[@madamchairman2538]

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I'm looking forward to trying this product.

As a women with pcos and sensitive skin, depilatory products are really my only option for removing facial hair. Shaving & waxing & sugaring allllll give me ingrown hairs. I have been so nervous that in the long run it's going to mess up my skin. But I don't really have an option 😭.

I'm mixed race and my facial hair turns in so hard if I try to grow out a beard there will be nasty wounds under the beard -- even if my hair makes it out of my skin it can turn back into the skin from the surface -- This is true for the hair on my head, but that doesn't turn into the skin like my beard hair does.

Hi Dr Dray. Dove Baby now has some new products specifically for eczema. So far I've seen a body wash and a creme in a tube. All of the products contain colloidal oatmeal similar to many Aveeno products. I would love to know what you think of this new line. UPDATE: I tried the cream and it was a bust. It was not at all moisturizing on my skin. It dried down and felt bad.
