Beauty & Fashion
TikTok Shop has been taking over beauty lovers' bank accounts almost instantly. I can’t scroll for more than a few minutes without someone convincing me to buy the latest beauty product. Let’s be honest: most beauty products we buy are to fix an itch we so desperately want to scratch. It's rare for a product to become a need in our routines until now. The Hair Identifier Spray is TikTok Shop's latest “it product.” It’s catching the eye of thousands of beauty enthusiasts who live for a good at-home dermaplaning. A few sprays help identify microscopic facial hairs to ensure a smoother shave.
As someone who dermaplanes regularly, I figured I’d give it a shot. Purchasing the product through TikTok Shop would cost me the time I didn’t have. Luckily, I found it on Amazon for a fraction of the price. I was purchasing it for only $9.99, as opposed to upwards of $18.00 on TikTok Shop, depending on the vendor. After a few short days, the product arrived at my apartment in bubble gum pink packaging, proving that facial shaving isn’t just a man's sport.
What’s In It?
The Hair Identifier Spray gives off a white overcast similar to a shaving mouse (a bit lighter). The ingredients include but are not limited to the following:
- Alcohol
- Sativa Rice Starch
- Propane
- Butane
- Isobutane
- Fragrance
Despite the product's fragrance, I didn’t notice a scent when it was spraying on my skin. I was also surprised by how light the product was. The combination of ingredients provides a solid foundation to coat the skin thoroughly without feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, this allowed me to notice every hair on my skin and become aware of areas I typically miss.
Facial Prep
To have the best dermaplaning experience, I had to prep my skin. I began by double cleansing, which eliminated dirt and dead skin cells that could get in the way of a smooth shave. I also applied a hydrating serum before beginning this process. Our skin may seem tough, but it is susceptible. Adding a serum to my dermaplaning routine ensures that the razor will glide against my skin without irritating it.
How To Use
The method of using this product is straightforward. Simply shake before use, hold the product 5-7 inches away from your face, and spray away. However, the real secret lies in the shaving technique. Making it a priority to pull the skin back while actively shaving helped me target pesky facial hairs without the risk of cutting myself. Once I removed all visible facial hairs, I refreshed my face with cool water and followed up with my skincare routine.
Results
After using this product, my skin texture significantly improved. The smoothness of my face indicated that I had successfully targeted each hair on my skin. Before using this product, my facial shave felt clean but not fresh. My skin rebirthed in a way that was almost equivalent to getting the procedure done professionally. This product wasn’t just a want but a need that eased the anxieties of facial shaving. I highly recommend it to anyone beginning or looking to improve their at-home dermaplaning experience.
