Alright, let’s talk about this dermaplaning face oil thing, you know, the stuff they say makes your face all smooth and shiny. I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, but I know a thing or two about keepin’ things slick and smooth, like greasin’ up a pan before you fry an egg. It’s kinda the same idea, I reckon.
So, first off, what is this dermaplaning, anyhow? Sounds all highfalutin, but from what I gather, it’s like shavin’ your face, but with a fancy little razor. Not like the one your grandpa used, mind you, somethin’ smaller and gentler, I guess. And this oil, well, it’s supposed to make that shavin’ go smoother, like butter on a hot biscuit.
Now, they got all sorts of oils out there, just like they got all sorts of beans at the market. Some folks swear by this rose hip oil. Rose hip, they say. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find growin’ wild in the pasture, ain’t it? They say it’s “organic” and “cold-pressed,” which I guess means it’s real good stuff, not all messed around with chemicals and such. This brand called “The Ordinary” makes it, and folks say it don’t cost an arm and a leg, which is always a good thing in my book.
Then there’s somethin’ called “squalane oil.” Now that’s a funny name, squalane. Sounds like a critter, doesn’t it? But they say it’s real light and don’t feel greasy, which is important, I reckon. Nobody wants to walk around lookin’ like they dipped their face in a bucket of lard. They say it’s “nourishing” too, which just means it’s good for your skin, keeps it from gettin’ all dry and wrinkly like an old apple.
And there’s this Jasclair Dermaplaning Oil. They say it’s a “pick” which I guess means it’s one of the good ones. These folks are always talking about picking this and that, makes my head spin sometimes. If you want things “smooth and easy” they say this is the one to get. Smooth and easy, that’s what I like. Ain’t nobody got time for fussin’ around with things that are difficult.
- Before you start shavin’, you can put some oil on. Just a little dab will do ya, like they say. Don’t go slatherin’ it on like you’re paintin’ a fence. Some folks say you don’t even need to put it on before, just after, but I figure a little extra slickness never hurt nobody.
- After you’re done shavin’, you definitely wanna put somethin’ on your face, otherwise it’ll feel all dry and scratchy. You can use that same oil you used before, or you can use somethin’ else, like a lotion or a serum. Whatever feels good, I say. It’s your face, ain’t it?
Some folks say you gotta use a special oil just for dermaplaning, but I ain’t so sure about that. I reckon any oil that’s good for your face will work just fine. You know, like that jojoba oil they talk about, or even just plain old olive oil. My grandma used to put olive oil on everything, and her skin was as smooth as a baby’s bottom, even when she was ninety years old.
The main thing, I reckon, is to find somethin’ that works for you. Everybody’s skin is different, you know? What works for one person might not work for another. So don’t go listenin’ to all them fancy folks in the magazines, tryin’ to sell you somethin’ you don’t need. Just use your common sense, and find somethin’ that makes your face feel good and look good. And if it don’t work, well, try somethin’ else. It ain’t rocket science, you know?
And remember, a smooth and flawless complexion, like they say, don’t come just from the oil and the razors. It comes from eatin’ your greens, gettin’ enough sleep, and not frettin’ too much. That’s the real secret to lookin’ good, no matter how old you are.
So go on, find yourself some oil and get to shavin’, if that’s what you wanna do. Just don’t go blamin’ me if you end up lookin’ like a plucked chicken. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, just a woman who knows a thing or two about keepin’ things simple and smooth.
