Elevate Your Dermaplaning Ritual with High-Quality Skin Products
Unless you’ve been completely off the grid, you’ve likely noticed that dermaplaning has surged in popularity as a go-to skincare treatment for achieving smoother, more radiant skin.
Dermaplaning is a simple yet highly effective way to remove dead skin cells, fine facial hair (also known as "peach fuzz"), and surface debris. This cosmetic technique uses a surgical-grade scalpel to gently exfoliate the top layer of the skin, revealing a fresh and luminous complexion underneath. Dermaplaning is known to offer several potential benefits, including:
Improves skin texture and tone
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Enhances the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products
Stimulates collagen production for a smoother, more youthful complexion
Leaves skin looking and feeling refreshed, radiant, and makeup-ready
Traditionally performed by dermatologists and licensed estheticians, dermaplaning has become a popular at-home treatment for refining skin texture and creating a smooth, flawless canvas for skincare and makeup. It can be used on the forehead, cheeks, chin, sideburns, and above the lip.
There are countless tutorials on how to perform dermaplaning at home, but few address the most critical factor: what you apply during and after the procedure. Technique matters, but product choice is equally essential for protecting and renewing the freshly revealed skin and ensuring long-term skin health.
“Oilplaning” - The Overlooked Step
Although dermaplaning is popular for being cost-effective and easy to perform at home, it remains controversial among dermatologists, as a scalpel razor in untrained hands can introduce unnecessary risks. This is where "oilplaning" — the practice of applying a light facial oil before dermaplaning — offers a gentler, more protective approach.
Because dermaplaning reveals a fresh, vulnerable layer of skin, what you apply during and after the process is essential for protection and nourishment. Skincare experts recommend using a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil rich in antioxidants, such as rosehip seed oil and botanical extracts with anti-inflammatory properties. Applying a high-quality facial oil before dermaplaning not only enhances blade glide but also creates a protective barrier that minimizes irritation, nicks, and dryness.
If you're new to dermaplaning or have dry or sensitive skin, we recommend starting by thoroughly cleansing your face and then applying a lightweight oil made exclusively with naturally derived ingredients, such as OiLixer by Sage Stone Botanicals. Oilixer doesn’t just enhance glide; it nourishes, protects, and supports skin repair, ensuring your dermaplaning ritual leaves your complexion smoother, stronger, and more radiant.
Why Oilixer is Best for Dermaplaning
OiLixer is the ideal companion for dermaplaning, blending the best of nature and science to nourish and protect freshly revealed skin. Rosehip seed oil keeps the formula lightweight and “dry,” while Jojoba oil and Vitamin E deeply penetrate to hydrate without leaving behind a greasy residue. Jojoba’s unique ability to mimic the skin’s natural sebum makes it hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, making it perfectly suited for delivering essential moisture without clogging pores.
Each botanical oil in OiLixer is carefully selected for maximum skin compatibility, providing natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits that soothe, protect, and strengthen the skin barrier. The formula is enriched with skin-replenishing vitamins A, C, and E, along with natural retinol to promote smoother texture, enhanced radiance, and lasting skin health.
Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, OiLixer cushions the skin during dermaplaning, absorbs fully, and leaves the complexion soft, balanced, and radiant. Suitable for all skin types and endorsed by professional estheticians, OiLixer transforms dermaplaning from a simple exfoliation method into a restorative skincare ritual.
Focus on the Ritual, Not the Rush
Dermaplaning is most effective when it is treated as a deliberate, skin-renewing ritual rather than a rushed routine. By taking the time to slow down, you invite a deeper connection with your skin’s needs, creating a more transformative experience. Infused with the finest botanical oils, OiLixer elevates dermaplaning from a mechanical process to an act of self-care — one that nourishes, fortifies, and revitalizes the skin. The result is not only a smoother, stronger complexion but a luminous glow that reflects the care and intention you invest.
Dermaplaning leaves the skin exposed and vulnerable — but with Oilixer, that vulnerability becomes a catalyst for restoration, resilience, and radiant renewal.
