"The one thing I didn’t know I needed": 16 women tried the buzzy new dermaplaning tool for glowing, smoother skin.

If Leigh Campbell wears army pants and flip-flops, then she must have her reasons, and I'll also be wearing army pants and flip-flops next.

So when Leigh told us she shaves her face in *stunning* detail on the You Beauty podcast, I knew it was my turn to shimmy down to the chemist and try it for myself.

Dermaplaning is the fancy term for using a razor blade to remove peach fuzz and dry, dead skin from your face. It’ll also give you a very mild exfoliation as the razor glides across the top of the dermis, helping to reveal MUCH smoother, more radiant skin for your foundation to look significantly better on. Chef's kiss.

One in particular I want to talk about is the new Finishing Touch Flawless Dermaplane Glow. It's the buzzy contender that incorporates a built-in LED light (gasp!) for did-I-just-become-a-beauty-expert level dermaplaning at home. 

As soon as I read it has a professional-grade Japanese stainless steel blade (I wasn't mucking around when I said fancy!), I obviously felt I needed to have 100 women from Mamamia's You Beauty Panel to rate it first and tell me every little detail on its performance.

So, what did they all think of it? Did this $40 cutie meet expectations?

Danielle, 32: "The light, which I wondered if it was a gimmick, was actually really purposeful."

"I quite enjoyed using the product – it was easy to use, the chunkier handle made it easy to manoeuvre, changing the blades in and out was easy (definitely no way you could cut yourself, it felt quite safe to do so). The light, which I wondered if it was a gimmick, was actually really purposeful in seeing the areas I had done.

"It was so satisfying to see the small fuzzy hairs fall off my face as I was using the product, and can definitely see the great results and smoothness of my skin after just a couple of uses."

Emily, 28: "It was a lot easier to use than I first anticipated."

Ada, 32: "An asset to my beauty regime at a fraction of the salon cost."

"The Finishing Touch Flawless Dermaplane Glow was easy to use, not too rough on my skin (I was genuinely worried I might cut my face as I've only had professionally done dermaplaning before). It felt great, and has made a lovely little accessory to add to my beauty collection. 

"It was super easy to use, and relatively quick. I'm sure it will be an asset to my beauty regime at a fraction of the salon cost."
