Why Are Some Women Shaving Nowadays?

Ladies, have you heard of dermaplaning? If you're concerned about wrinkles, you might want to tell your man to move over at the bathroom sink.

Turns out shaving your face could help skin stay youthful, according to some beauty experts.

Sometimes called "dermaplaning," the process of shaving a woman's face can take place in a professional dermatologist's office or can be a DIY job.

Men are thought to get less wrinkles because they are constantly removing skin cells with the shaving process.

"It's definitely a thing," said Alexis Wolfer, editor of The Beauty Bean. "One reason men are thought to get fewer wrinkles is that they're constantly exfoliating their faces every time they shave, literally shaving away the outermost layers of skin and encouraging your skin to create new layers."

Concerns of what happens to women's faces if they begin to shave are among many.

"The consequences are small if you don't have facial hair," said Wolfer. "But for women with facial hair, it can make any hair look much darker and thicker when it grows back in with a blunt edge."

Beauty company Shiseido sells a facial razor for women. A three-pack sells for about $6 on Amazon.

Wolfer said women shaving their faces is "definitely getting more mainstream," but it's not yet what she would call common.

For the more old fashioned types who would never consider being part of the in crowd, are there better ways to exfoliate?

She said there are far better ways to exfoliate and recommends mixing a tablespoon of full-fat Greek yogurt (it has lactic acid to break down dead skin cells) and a teaspoon of raw honey to moisturize and kill bacteria. Apply a thick layer to clean skin for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, take one to two tablespoons of white sugar and gently scrub the mask off for 30 seconds. Rinse with warm water and follow with moisturizer.
