Derma-planing- is it worth it for my wedding day make up?

Research and data shows that up to 60% (so around 6 out of 10) women who dermaplane will experience some adverse reaction to their skin after the first go. Its true that a lot of women experience very real benefits such as a reduction in hair, fine lines and wrinkles and for that reason there are a large number that will advocate and swear by the process. However, I myself started dermaplaning as a personal experiment so that I could be more informed in my response and reasoning when asked by my bridal clients "should I be dermaplaning for the wedding make up to look flawless?". My answer to my brides now is if you are going to start the dermaplaning process you must also accept the risk that your skin may break out, you may trigger hair growth that wasnt necessarily there before, and ultimately you may not find that those ongoing downfalls override the benefits of a flawless make up look for the duration of just one day. I myself have unfortunately broken out with the big spherical, globe like spots under the skin that are not only painful but no amount of removal techniques have been able to touch. These things have been toddler tantrum in a supermarket levels of stubborn, you know? Did my foundation go on smoother? Maybe, but was it worth fighting for my life with a needle trying to pop the planets under my skin that literally were so big and invasive they altered the shape of my face? Not really, I'm sad to report. So my answer to you is the risks HAVE to outweigh the benefits for YOU. If its important to you to try for clear, hairless skin, then go for it. But also, like me, you may have to face the inevitable and decide to stop for the good of your own sanity.

After searching for the right make up artistry course for almost a year, I attended the professional make up artist course with Kelsey at The Scottish Make Up Academy, and I am so glad I did. I cannot recommend it enough! Kelsey is an amazing trainer and talented artist whose passion for her industry and genuine care for the people she teaches really shine through. She is a fountain of knowledge with a beautiful and warming personality that makes you feel so at ease throughout. She has provided me with the tools to hopefully take my career as an MUA forward. Thank you Kelsey
