Frequently Asked Questions
Smoothie Stick is a high quality stainless steel dermaplaning tool used to painlessly de-fuzz your face. Smoothie Stick's blade is wrapped in a mesh-like-net, meaning it's super safe to use on ya face. A fuzz-free face helps for flawless makeup application, improved skincare penetration, and exfoliation (and no, the fuzz doesn't grow back darker or thicker).
In short, no.
Dermaplaning does not change the number or texture of your hair follicles meaning the hair will grow back just the same as it was before dermaplaning. Many people believe shaving causes hair to grow back thicker, this not the case. Shaving just cuts the end of the hair blunt, and if the hair is already thick and dark, people may interpret this as the hair growing back thicker (like when you shave your legs). Because peach fuzz is so fine, it wont have any impact on the feel or appearance when it grows back. However, that being said, if you have thicker or coarser hair on your face, dermaplaning may not be for you.
A fuzz free face reveals smoother, softer skin and provides a perfect base for makeup application. No more foundation building up around the cheek and upper lip area! Dermaplaning also removes dead skin cells, aiding in exfoliation and better penetration for your skincare. Win win!
Smoothie Stick is uniquely made with high quality stainless steel, whereas other dermaplaning tools tend to be made with cheap plastic and blunter blades. Cheap plastic dermaplaning tools are not only bad for the environment, but also tend to cause irritation to the skin (not ideal). Our aim was to provide a dermaplaning tool that not only gives you a smooth shave at an affordable price, but does a part in not contributing to single use plastics.
We use our Smoothie Stick for around 2-3 sessions before we pop a new refill into the re-usable silicone handle. Old blades can be recycled as per your local council guidelines. When you run out of refills, simply hop onto our website and order a refill pack.
Smoothie Stick isn't like a regular razor, the blade is covered in a stainless steel micro mesh (like a net) so it's almost impossible to cut yourself if using the Smoothie Stick per the directions and for its intended use. Dermaplaning is virtually pain free, as you are simply shaving your face (not pulling the hairs out like waxing).
Dry skin is best for dermaplaning!
We are so glad you asked. You will get the best results dermaplaning on cleansed, dry, skin. I know you have probably seen it done with various oils and gels, but trust us, dry is best!
