Smoothie Stick FAQ
Everything You Need to Know About Dermaplaning at Home
Smoothie Stick is a stainless steel dermaplaning tool designed to help remove peach fuzz and gently exfoliate the surface of your skin. Whether you’re new to dermaplaning or switching from disposable plastic face razors, these FAQs cover how to use Smoothie Stick, how often to dermaplane, and how to get the smoothest results at home.
What is Smoothie Stick?
Smoothie Stick is a reusable stainless steel dermaplaning tool made for at-home facial hair removal and gentle exfoliation. It helps remove peach fuzz and dead skin cells from the surface of your face, leaving skin feeling smoother and helping makeup apply more evenly.
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a method of facial exfoliation that uses a fine blade to gently remove peach fuzz and surface-level dead skin. It is commonly used to help skin feel smoother, look brighter, and create a better base for skincare and makeup.
What does Smoothie Stick remove?
Smoothie Stick is designed to remove soft facial hair, often called peach fuzz, as well as surface-level dead skin cells. It is not designed for coarse shaving, body shaving, or eyebrow shaping.
Will my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. Dermaplaning does not change the structure, color, or thickness of your hair. Peach fuzz may feel slightly different when it first grows back because it has been cut straight across, but it does not grow back thicker, darker, or faster.
How often should I use Smoothie Stick?
Most people dermaplane every 2–4 weeks, depending on their skin type and how quickly their peach fuzz grows back. If you are new to dermaplaning, start slowly and give your skin time to adjust.
How do I use Smoothie Stick?
Start with clean, dry skin. Hold your skin taut and use short, light strokes at a 45-degree angle, moving gently in the direction of hair growth. Avoid going over the same area too many times. After dermaplaning, rinse your face and follow with a gentle, hydrating moisturiser.
Should I use Smoothie Stick on wet or dry skin?
Smoothie Stick is best used on clean, dry skin. Dry skin makes it easier to remove peach fuzz and surface buildup. Avoid using oils or heavy creams before dermaplaning, as they can make the tool slip.
Can I use Smoothie Stick if I have sensitive skin?
If you have sensitive skin, start gently and patch test first. Use light pressure and avoid active breakouts, irritation, sunburn, or freshly treated skin. After dermaplaning, keep your routine simple and avoid strong exfoliating acids or retinoids for at least 24 hours.
Can I use Smoothie Stick over acne?
Avoid using Smoothie Stick over active acne, open blemishes, inflamed skin, cuts, or irritated areas. Dermaplaning over active breakouts can cause further irritation. Wait until your skin has calmed before using the tool.
What should I put on my skin after dermaplaning?
After dermaplaning, use gentle, hydrating products such as a simple moisturiser or calming serum. Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, strong acids, and fragranced products immediately after use. Always apply SPF during the day, as freshly exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to the sun.
Can I wear makeup after using Smoothie Stick?
Yes, but it is best to give your skin a little time to settle first, especially if you are new to dermaplaning. Many people find makeup applies more smoothly after removing peach fuzz and surface buildup.
Is Smoothie Stick reusable?
Yes. Smoothie Stick is designed as a reusable alternative to disposable plastic face razors. Clean and dry your tool after each use and store it safely between uses.
How do I clean Smoothie Stick?
After each use, carefully remove any hair or skin buildup, rinse the blade area, and dry thoroughly. Store Smoothie Stick in a clean, dry place. Do not leave it wet, as proper drying helps keep the tool in good condition.
Is Smoothie Stick better than disposable face razors?
Smoothie Stick is designed for people who want a more elevated, reusable alternative to disposable plastic dermaplaning razors. The stainless steel design gives it a more premium feel and helps reduce reliance on throwaway plastic tools.
Can men use Smoothie Stick?
Yes. Smoothie Stick can be used by anyone who wants to remove peach fuzz or gently exfoliate the face. It is not intended to replace a traditional razor for coarse beard shaving.
Can I use Smoothie Stick on my eyebrows?
Smoothie Stick is designed for facial peach fuzz and surface exfoliation, not precision eyebrow shaping. Avoid using it too close to your eyes or on areas where you need detailed shaping.
Can I use Smoothie Stick while pregnant?
Dermaplaning is a non-chemical form of exfoliation, but skin can become more sensitive during pregnancy. Use gentle pressure, avoid irritated areas, and check with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning should not hurt when done correctly. Use very light pressure, short strokes, and avoid going over the same area repeatedly. If you feel pain, stinging, or irritation, stop using the tool.
Who should not use Smoothie Stick?
Do not use Smoothie Stick on active acne, rashes, eczema flare-ups, sunburn, broken skin, cuts, or irritated areas. You should also avoid dermaplaning immediately after professional treatments unless your skin professional has told you it is safe.
Why choose Smoothie Stick?
Smoothie Stick is made for people who want smoother-feeling skin without relying on disposable plastic face razors. It is simple, reusable, and designed to make at-home dermaplaning feel like part of your skincare ritual — not a chore.
How long does each razor last before I need to replace it?
Most people get several uses from one razor, but it varies a lot depending
on hair density and how you care for it. Rinse and dry your razor thoroughly
after every use — moisture is what dulls stainless steel, not your skin.
You'll know it's time for a fresh one when it starts to tug or drag instead
of glide. A refill pack keeps you going for months, and swapping takes
seconds — the silicone handle from your starter kit is yours for good.
