Shaving Your Face And Other Tips For Younger Looking Skin


Shaving Your Face And Other Tips For Younger Looking Skin By Barbies Beauty Bits

Did I just say women should shave their faces? I sure did as "Aging Is A Fact Of Life. But Looking Your Age Is Not." I did not come up with that, but it is one of my favorite skincare quotes. As it is just not biological age that is the only contributing factor to aging skin. While getting older is inevitable, how our skin ages is something we DO have control over!  And this is where shaving your face comes in. So if you want to find out how you can have younger-looking skin, continue reading!

Eating Your Way To Healthy Glowing Skin
Ever hear of the expression you are what you eat?  Well, it has never been more true, than when it comes to the health of your skin.

You see, healthy, glowing skin starts with the nourishment within our body. We are shedding skin cells and replacing them with new ones every day, but this desquamation process slows down as we get older. One way to make sure that the body sheds the dead skin cells and produces new cells is by having an essential supply of vital nutrients.

Fruit and vegetables are amazing foods for a healthy complexion and the best way to hydrate your skin from the inside. They contain antioxidants that can help stimulate collagen production and keep the skin plump and youthful. They are also rich in vitamins that protect the skin against free radicals.

Fruits And Vegetables High In Antioxidants And Vitamins

  • Advocados~Have skin healing and protective properties. They contain vitamins C and E as well as monounsaturated fat (healthy fat that keeps our skin plump and moisturized)
  • Green Tea helps to combat free radical damage and collagen breakdown.
  • Watermelon~ Not only does this fruit hydrate as it is 92% water, but it helps to flush the body of toxins! And let's not forget about the antioxidants that can help to fight free radicals.
  • Lemons: When life gives you lemons, take them as they are rich in Vitamin C, a primary antioxidant that helps protect cells from damaging free-radicals. Lemons are supplemented with antibacterial properties, which is fantastic at purging the skin of toxins and blemishes. Overall, lemons can bring a much-needed glow to your complexion by rejuvenating the skin from within!
  • Dark leafy greens like radish leaves, spinach, and mustard greens have vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help prevent skin aging.

Develop Healthy Skincare Habits

Use Skincare Products With Vitamin C In Them
When it comes to getting brighter, younger looking skin—Vitamin C is a game-changer. This water-soluble antioxidant is a natural component of healthy skin.  The younger we are, the more vitamin C we have on our skin. But as we get older, we lose these nutrients over time.

Luckily, skincare products can help lessen this damage, so the skin looks healthier and radiant. Vitamin C is an ingredient that should be part of everyone’s skincare routine—regardless of age or skin type. It’s known and loved for its brightening and anti-aging abilities, and dermatologists also tout it for being one of the most potent protective antioxidants out there to help reduce skin inflammation and irregular pigmentation while promoting healthy collagen production.

Use Skincare Products Infused With CBD
Known for its healing properties, cannabidiol offers some serious antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits which can be beneficial in treating skin concerns like inflammation, dryness, and free radical damage.

One of my favorite skincare lines is TreCeuticals. They combine science with nature, by adding 80 mg of full spectrum CBD to all of thier products, setting them apart from all other brands on the market. Combine this with three other powerful active ingredients – retinol, hydroxy acids, and antioxidants-you're on your way to younger looking skin.

Vow To Shave Your Face
You see, as we age, the process of desquamation slows down, meaning that our body is slower to shed dead skin cells and produce new ones.

Shaving Your Face is one of the best at home techniques to exfoliating the skin and speeding up your natural cell turnover to uncover the fresh, healthy skin underneath the layers of dead surface skin cells.

Shaving Your Face Helps To:

  • Improve your skin tone and texture
  • Promote cellular turnover
  • Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
  • Minimizes the appearance of age spots and other sun damage  
  • Even out skin tone and texture
  • Unclog and reduce the appearance of pore size
  • Stimulate blood flow to help improve the skin's elasticity  
  • Offer better penetration of your skincare products

Mask Mapping  By Barbies Beauty Bits

Mask Mapping: Multi-Masking
One size does not fit all, and this comes to skincare as well. Everyone’s skin features its very own personality, with specific needs, individual concerns, and personal likes and dislikes. Enter Mask Mapping...

Instead of applying the same mask to your entire face, there is a better approached called mask mapping. This technique allows you to use multiple face masks to different areas of your face for a customized treatment that checks all your anti-aging needs!

Practice Face Yoga
Face yoga might not be a treatment as such, but it will tone and tighten your face, stretching your muscles and boosting circulation. The best thing is, you only need to do a few minutes a day to see results, and you can do it while you watch TV. 

Shave Your Face
Yes, you read that correctly. I said that women should shave their faces, and I am not talking about shaving to remove unwanted facial hair but instead shaving your entire face to help improve your skin tone, texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Now, I know you are thinking won't this make my peach fuzz grow back thick, dark, or coarse? The answer is no, it will not.  It will grow back the same texture as before shaving.

SHOULD WOMEN SHAVE THEIR FACE BY BARBIES BEAUTY BITS

Shaving your entire face helps to soften the surface irregularities by mildly exfoliating the top layer of dead skin cells more thoroughly than say with a facial scrub. It is less abrasive than microdermabrasion. It can also contribute to getting rid of the vellus hairs (peach fuzz) that we all have, which on some people can make their complexion a bit dull.

Furthermore, exfoliating your face by shaving also stimulates your skin to produce new skin cells and collagen (whenever there's trauma to the skin, collagen is stimulated to help cell renewal), which gives your complexion a smoother, radiant appearance. It can also soften the appearance of fine lines by removing the layer of dead skin that contained them.

To Sum It Up
Some of the best beauty treatments take time. You might have a self-care routine that you like to devote yourself to when you've got a free evening. But, they don't have to. Even if you've just got a free 30 minutes, there's plenty that you can do to boost your skin tone, improve your mood, and generally give yourself a lift by simply implementing so of these beauty treatments!

Get Younger Looking Skin By Shaving Your Face With The Dermaplaning Sonicsmooth By Michael Todd Beauty

Get Younger Looking Skin By Shaving Your Face With The Sonicsmooth By Michael Todd Beauty and barbies beauty bits

This is my second post on facial shaving, and why women should shave their face, yes I said shave.  In case you missed my first post in this series click here.  But as promised I am going to be discussing a more advanced approach to facial shaving which is dermaplaning. And the best part is that you can do this in the comfort of your own home with the Sonicsmooth by Michael Todd Beauty.

Now before I get into the Michael Todd Beauty dermaplaning device, I wanted to briefly explain the difference between dermaplaning and shaving with a razor.  While both are an excellent way to remove vellus hair (peach fuzz), as well as acting as an exfoliative treatment, dermaplaning offers a deeper more targeted exfoliation. Which in turn leads to a brighten skin tone while softening the appearance of wrinkles and much more, just what a woman in her 40’s is looking for!

So, if you want to find out why you need to add dermaplaning to your skincare routine continue reading.

Michael Todd Beauty is always stepping it up when it comes to skincare devices, and their newest product the SONICSMOOTH Sonic Dermaplaning System isn’t any different. As not only is this a dermaplaning device but it also uses sonic technology to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair expertly, now how great is that?

I'm Still Confused, What The Heck Is Dermaplaning???
As mentioned briefly above dermaplaning is a skincare method that physically removes unwanted facial hair while removing dead skin cells for a smoother and more radiant complexion. Some of you may have had this type of treatment done professionally, which requires the use of a scalpel and a trained practitioner and  IT is costly.

Bottom line, dermaplaning takes face shaving to a whole new level, and because of the popularity and demand of this anti-aging procedure, Michael Todd Beauty decided to offer us skincare lovers the chance to do this at home with their Sonicsmooth, the world's true first sonic dermaplaning system. Now no worries there is no scalpel involved, but this at home treatment does provide some of the many benefits that you could get at your aesthetician's office with the added benefit of Sonic Technology. Michael Todd Beauty is known for their sonic skincare products, so it only made sense to harness the power of sonic technology in conjunction with expertly designed safety blades to create a dermaplaning device that ups your anti-aging skincare game, while kissing your peach fuzz goodbye!

Benefits Of Dermaplaning With The Michael Todd Beauty Sonicsmooth
Aside from offering fantastic exfoliation while removing your peach fuzz, dermaplaning with the sonicsmooth really brightens up your skin, giving you a glowing, dewy look.

Additionally it…
  • Stimulates your skin to produce new skin cells and collagen (whenever there’s trauma to the skin, collagen is stimulated to help cell renewal).
  • Softens the appearance of fine lines by removing the layer of dead skin which contained them.
  • Helps the active ingredients in your skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.
  • Can help with smoothing out acne scars.
  • Removes the excessive “face fuzz” that can trap oil and dirt which can lead to other skin issues.
  • And your makeup application is FLAWLESS!
Will my hair grow back thicker from dermaplaning by barbies beauty bits

Will My Hair Grow Back Thicker
No need to hide as this will not happen, it is not possible. I know I was surprised myself, but my aesthetician explained to me why contrary to belief, that your hair can not grow back thicker.  You see there are two types of hair that grow on our body. Vellus hair, which is the peach fuzz on your face will grow back the same as it was before you remove it. Therefore, you will not have dark, coarse facial hair grow back after dermaplaning.

How Often Do I Dermaplane
This pain-free method can be done once a week. The Sonicsmooth system comes with a 2 Month Supply of Safety Edges- Stainless steel surgical grade blades encased in a protective case, which is very convenient.

How To Use The Michael Todd Beauty Sonicsmooth

Step 1
Prep The Skin: It is vital that skin is first prepped with a de-greasing cleansing product to completely remove all surface oils from the skin to ensure optimum results.  Michael Todd's Honey and Oat Cleanser is an ideal skin prep and comes with the set. It is best to perform a sonicsmooth treatment at a time where you will not be applying makeup directly afterward.

Step 2
Dermaplane The Skin: Hold the skin taut with one hand, and with the sonicsmooth blade in other hand at a 45-degree angle, apply it against the skin and shave. I like to do it in sections, starting at my forehead, to my checks, and moving my way down.  You can even shave your neck, as none of us want turkey neck as we get older.

You can shave in any direction, however I try to go in an upward direction and around the mouth area outwards. Also, make sure you are careful and paying attention as you don’t want to accidentally shave off some eyebrow hairs or get too close to your hairline, so do this in front of a mirror.

Step 3
Rinse off and apply your sonicsmooth soothe onto your baby soft skin.

Step 4

Apply your regular skincare products, starting with the ones with the active ingredients first.

Why Women Should Shave Their Face

Why Women Should Shave Their Face By Barbies Beauty Bits

Yes, you read that correctly I said that women should shave their face and I am not talking about shaving to remove unwanted facial hair, but rather shaving your entire face to help with improving your skin tone, texture, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.   I decided to write a series on facial shaving for younger looking skin, as when I tell people I do this; most are like WTF?

So, if you want to find out why and how to have younger looking skin by shaving your face continue reading!

Why Shaving Your Face Can Help You Look Younger



Now before I started doing this, the idea scared me as all I could think about, was will this make my peach fuzz, and yes we all have hair on our face, grow back thick, dark or coarse?  The answer is no it will not. Secondly, while I do work in the skincare industry, I did want to make sure that I was doing this correctly, so I did consult with a professional on this first. Now before I get into how to do this, I want to explain the reasoning behind it.

Shaving your entire face helps to soften the surface irregularities by mildly exfoliating the top layer of dead skin cells more thoroughly than say with a facial scrub and it is less abrasive than microdermabrasion. It can also contribute to getting rid of the vellus hairs (peach fuzz) that we all have, which on some people can make their complexion a bit dull.

Furthermore, exfoliating your face by shaving also stimulates your skin to produce new skin cells and collagen (whenever there’s trauma to the skin, collagen is stimulated to help cell renewal), which gives your complexion a smoother radiant appearance. It can also, according to my sources, soften the appearance of fine lines by removing the layer of dead skin which contained them.

Lastly, shaving your face helps the active ingredients in your skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective as well as promoting cellular turnover, AKA encouraging new cells to surface. And of course, makeup application is FLAWLESS!



Tips On  How To Shave Your Face For Younger Looking Skin By Barbies Beauty Bits

How To Shave Your Face
Shaving your entire face is something that you can do in the comfort of your own home, and all you need is a few products, and you are on your way to the younger looking skin.
  1. You want to cleanse your skin with a non-medicated cleanser thoroughly.
  2. Lather your face with shaving cream or in my case I prefer to use Skinlogics Foaming Cleanser as a shaving cream can be a bit drying for me.
  3. Using a QUALITY razor you want to SHAVE YOUR ENTIRE FACE, I prefer to do it in sections starting from my forehead, to my checks, and moving my way down.  You can even shave your neck, as none of us want turkey neck as we get older.
  4. You can shave in any direction, but make sure you are careful and paying attention as you don’t want to cut yourself, nor do you want any razor burns. Lastly, you don’t want to accidentally shave off some eyebrow hairs or get too close to your hairline, so do this in front of a mirror.
  5. Rinse with warm water and remove the cream, I prefer to use my makeup eraser for this, but you can use any clean cloth.
  6. Apply your regular skincare products, starting with the ones with the active ingredients first. 
  7. Finish with applying a UVA/UVB moisturizer.
