“I’m so proud of you!” Exclaimed Antonia, the beauty therapist I see regularly at Woodlands Beauty Clinic. Coming from somebody who was particularly nervous about simply having her eyebrows waxed, my next beauty endeavour dermaplaning was quite a step up. Woodlands are now offering a dermaplaining treatment* for £55 and I was very kindly invited by the team to give it a try.
What exactly is dermaplaining?
According to Woodlands:
Antonia informed me that dermaplaining is much more suited to a wider range of people as other exfoliating treatments such as microdermabrasion is not suitable for more mature skin which tends to be thinner, as well as people like myself, with a lot of vascular redness.
Before the dermaplaining treatment…
So as you can see, my skin is quite clear at the moment however, I do have a little bit of pigmentation by the way of freckles. Antonia began by getting my hair out of my face and cleansing my skin, firstly with a gentle, gel-like formula and secondly with a more chemically scented wipe to remove any excess dirt and oil.
Ahh Hollie your skin looks beautiful before but even better afterwards! I'm really tempted to give this a try! xxx
