Sebastian Stan is covered in them for his role as Tommy Lee in “Pam & Tommy”; Jeremy Allen White had to add quite a few for his role as Carmy in “The Bear”; Hilary Duff had to hide all but two of hers for “How I Met Your Father”; and all traces of their existence were erased on Lady Gaga’s arms for “House of Gucci.” Pete Davidson has even decided to get his extensive tattoo collection removed after spending too much time in the makeup chair on set.

    Dermaplaining Before and After Photos

    I’ve always been intrigued by dermaplaning, a form of exfoliation that involves removing the fine hairs from the face with a surgical blade. Face shaving removes that annoying peach fuzz, creates the perfect base for makeup application, and, due to the fact it allows product to penetrate the skin better, leaves skin with an incredible glow.

The first is that it’s yet another thing to add to my already long skin-care routine. I do really enjoy spending time looking after my skin, but adding more steps leaves…
