Want glass-smooth skin without a salon visit?
Learn how to dermaplane safely at home in the UAE with our complete beginner's guide. Includes tips, tools, and the secret step most women skip.
Salon dermaplaning in Dubai can cost anywhere between AED 79 and AED 550 per session and most experts recommend doing it every 3 to 4 weeks. That adds up fast.
The good news? You can get the exact same smooth, glowing skin at home in under 10 minutes, for a fraction of the cost. Hundreds of women across the UAE are already doing it. This guide will show you exactly how.
What Is Dermaplaning and Why Is Everyone in the UAE Talking About It?
Dermaplaning is a simple technique where you use a small blade to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair (called peach fuzz or vellus hair) from your face.
The result? Instantly smoother skin, a brighter complexion, and makeup that glides on like glass with no foundation settling into fine hairs or dry patches.
It has exploded in popularity across Dubai and Abu Dhabi because it suits the UAE lifestyle perfectly. Our climate means more sun exposure, more dead skin buildup, and more sweat all of which make dermaplaning particularly effective here. Women who dermaplane regularly notice their serums absorb better and their SPF sits more evenly on the skin.
The Problem Most Beginners Face
Here is where most first-timers go wrong: they cannot see all of their facial hair.
Peach fuzz is incredibly fine. On certain skin tones and in certain lighting, it is almost completely invisible — until you start shaving and realise you have missed huge patches. You end up with an uneven result, patchy skin, and the frustrating feeling that you did it wrong.
This is exactly why professional salons use lighting rigs and magnification tools to identify every hair before they begin. Without this step, you are essentially shaving blind.
The Game-Changing Step You Are Probably Skipping
Before you dermaplane, you need to identify your hair first.
The Cozitis Hair Identifier Spray is a fine mist made from 100% natural starches that instantly coats and highlights every strand of peach fuzz and facial hair, even the ones completely invisible to the naked eye. Once sprayed, your face looks like a map of exactly where to shave.
It is the same concept professional salons use, but in a bottle you can use at home, in 30 seconds, before every session.
Women who use it describe the moment they first spray it as genuinely shocking; they had no idea how much fine hair they had been missing.
Step-by-Step: How to Dermaplane at Home
Here is the full process from start to finish:
Step 1 — Cleanse your face thoroughly
Remove all makeup, oil, and sunscreen. Your skin needs to be completely clean and dry before you start. Do not apply any moisturiser or serum yet — you want a dry surface for the blade to glide on.
Step 2 — Spray the Cozitis Hair Identifier Spray
Shake the bottle well. Hold it 10 to 12 inches from your face and spray in short, even bursts. You will immediately see your fine facial hairs become visible — this is the step that makes all the difference between a patchy result and a flawless one.
Step 3 — Shave in short, downward strokes
Using a dermaplaning tool or the free razor included with Cozitis, hold your skin taut with one hand and use gentle, short downward strokes. Always shave in the direction of hair growth. Work in sections: forehead, cheeks, chin, upper lip.
Step 4 — Rinse and wipe clean
Wash your face with cool, clean water or gently wipe with a damp cloth to remove the spray and any hair.
Step 5 — Apply your skincare immediately
This is when dermaplaning pays off. With dead skin and hair gone, your serums and moisturisers absorb up to 2x more effectively. Apply your vitamin C serum, hyaluronic acid, or SPF now and feel the difference instantly.
Is Dermaplaning Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes — with a few important exceptions.Dermaplaning is safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and it is completely suitable for women of all skin tones. Because the Cozitis spray is made from natural starches and is paraben-free, it is gentle enough for daily facial skin.
You should avoid dermaplaning if you have:
- Active acne or open breakouts (wait until they heal)
- Very inflamed or irritated skin
- Open wounds or cuts on the face
If you are pregnant, consult your doctor before trying any new skincare routine.
Does the Hair Grow Back Thicker?
Absolutely not. This is one of the most common myths about facial hair removal.
Dermaplaning cuts the hair at the surface; it does not affect the root or follicle at all. The hair may feel slightly different as it grows back because the tip has been cut bluntly rather than tapering naturally, but the actual thickness, colour, and growth rate of your hair do not change.
How Often Should You Do It?
Most women in the UAE find that once every 2 to 3 weeks is the perfect frequency. This keeps skin consistently smooth and matches the natural cycle of dead skin cell buildup.
One 130ml bottle of Cozitis Hair Identifier Spray lasts approximately 3 to 4 months with regular use — making it incredibly cost-effective compared to salon visits.
