Yes, using sunscreen after dermaplaning is absolutely essential and non-negotiable. Here’s why:
- Increased Vulnerability: Dermaplaning removes the top layer of skin, leaving it temporarily more sensitive to sun damage, including sunburn, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging.
- Product Effectiveness: Many skincare ingredients (like retinol or vitamin C) can increase sun sensitivity. Sunscreen protects your skin while allowing these products to work effectively.
- Long-Term Skin Health: Diligent sun protection is crucial to prevent lasting skin damage and maintain the youthful radiance achieved with dermaplaning.
Tips:
- Broad-Spectrum: Choose a sunscreen labeled “broad-spectrum” with SPF 30 or higher.
- Reapply: Reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially if you’re outside.
- Seek Shade: Hats and sunglasses offer additional protection when outdoors.
Sunscreen isn’t just a post-dermaplaning must; it’s an everyday essential for healthy, beautiful skin!
