Dermaplaning Tips

Recommendation

Hello πŸ€— 30yo, found out I am 6 weeks pregnant, so stopped my retinol right away, and slapped a spray cap to my Ordinary Glycolic Acid to replace it as my anti-aging step.

I did my first application last night in place of my retinol, no pain or redness last night or today. However, I have noticed minor itching, and holy exfoliation lol, like every time I touch my face little pills of skin comes off. This "recovering picker" decided to wash my hands, then rub rub rub all the pills off. I feel like a caterpillar after my metamorphosis πŸ˜† Fresh and smooth! My skin still has no redness or irritation, so it has me wondering if I should add in dermaplaning to truly exfoliate off what the glycolic acid releases. I am also wondering if after a few weeks the amount of turnover will slow down and dermaplaning would become unnecessary πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Thoughts? Never done it, so don't know where to start or if I should leave it alone.
