The Ultimate At-Home Dermaplaning Guide: The TINA•K Way

by Tina

Ready for glass skin without the glam squad? Say hello to your new skincare obsession: the MICRO•PLANE by TINA•K — the ultimate derma-glow tool designed to exfoliate, smooth, and brighten your skin, all from the comfort of home.

Whether you're chasing glow goals, fighting peach fuzz, or just want your serums to finally sink in like they’re supposed to, this tool is your golden ticket. Let’s break it all down — science, skincare routine, and why it’s time to start exfoliating at an entire new level.

 

 

What Is the MICRO•PLANE?

The MICRO•PLANE is a professional-grade dermaplaning tool designed for at-home use — a modern, elevated take on an old-school facial trick. It gently removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz (vellus hair) to reveal smoother, brighter, glowier skin instantly.

Unlike razors or chemical exfoliants that can irritate or inflame sensitive skin, the MICRO•PLANE is precision-made with a non-slip metal handle and ultra-fine blades for safe, controlled exfoliation — perfect for even the most delicate and sensitive skin types.

Key Benefits (aka Why Everyone’s Obsessed)

✨ Smooths Texture & Reveals Radiance

By sloughing off dull, dead skin cells, your complexion instantly looks more luminous. Think baby-smooth skin, minus the filters.

✨ Removes Peach Fuzz

Say goodbye to that soft, fine facial hair that makeup clings to and light exposes. Your foundation? It’s about to look flawless.

✨ Boosts Skincare Absorption

With dead skin and hair out of the way, your serums and creams can finally get to work. Think deeper hydration, faster results, and better performance from every product in your routine.

✨ Helps Prevent Clogged Pores

By keeping the skin’s surface fresh and clear, the MICRO•PLANE supports healthy cell turnover and helps keep pores from getting congested — especially around the nose, chin, and jawline.

✨ Designed for Sensitive Skin

No harsh scraping or irritation here — just smooth, soft, glowy goodness.

 

 

The Skincare Science Behind Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a mechanical exfoliation technique that removes the top layer of skin using a fine blade. It’s not a shave — it's a targeted exfoliation method that clears away debris and peach fuzz while stimulating cell renewal. Dermatologists and estheticians have used this method for decades to prep skin for facials and treatments.

When you remove the top layer of dead cells and hair:

  • Your skin becomes instantly smoother.

  • Light reflects off the skin more evenly with the shadow that vellus hair can cause (hello glow!).

  • Actives in your products penetrate deeper for increased efficacy.

Unlike chemical exfoliants (like AHAs or BHAs), dermaplaning is safe for most skin types — including dry, dull, and even sensitive.

 

 

How to Use the MICRO•PLANE at Home (The Right Way)

Step 1: Cleanse your skin
 Start fresh with YOGURT•K or PERFECT•K. Your skin should be clean, dry (or just slightly damp, depending on preference), and free of oils.

Step 2: Prep the blade
 Hold the MICRO•PLANE at a 45-degree angle downwards and gently pull the skin taut. Always use light pressure — the blade does the work, not your hand.

Step 3: Glide in short strokes
 Start at the hairline near your ear and work your way across the face — cheeks, jawline, above the lip, even your forehead. Avoid eyelids and active breakouts.

Step 4: Post-glow recovery
 Use a cotton gauze pad soaked in LIQUID•PLASMA to remove leftover debris and tone the skin. Then follow up with HYDRATANT•K to lock in moisture and soothe the barrier.

How Often Should You Dermaplane?

For best results, use the MICRO•PLANE every 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your skin’s tolerance. It’s like a mini-facial that fits right into your Sunday reset or self-care ritual.

Over-exfoliating can disrupt your barrier, so remember: glowy skin is consistent skin, not overworked skin.

 

 

Who Can Use It?

✔️ Dry or dull skin
✔️ Sensitive or mature skin
✔️ Oily or acne-prone (just avoid active breakouts)
✔️ Anyone wanting smoother, glowier makeup application

It’s a universal beauty tool for ALL skin tones and types — one of the many reasons it’s become a staple in the TINA•K glow arsenal.
