Should I Dermaplane Before or After Shower?
For most people, dermaplaning after a shower is the more practical choice because warm steam softens fine facial hair and dead skin while cleansing removes oils and residue. That said, timing is only one factor: technique, blade cleanliness, skin condition, and aftercare matter more than whether you do it before or after the water runs. Avoid dermaplaning over active acne, eczema, sunburn, or freshly irritated skin, and consult a professional if you have a diagnosed skin condition.
