Peach fuzz, or vellus hair, covers most of the face. It is very fine, light in colour and short, so in normal bathroom lighting it practically disappears against your skin.
Three reasons you miss it
- Low contrast. Light hair on light skin, or fine hair on any skin tone, gives your eyes almost nothing to focus on.
- Bathroom lighting. Overhead lights create shadows and flatten detail, while daylight from the side shows everything.
- Curves and angles. Your jawline, chin and the area around your mouth all change direction, which makes it hard to follow where hair grows.
How to see every hair
Turn your face towards natural light and use a magnifying mirror if you have one. The biggest difference, though, is contrast: the SKNBODY Hair Identifier Spray temporarily highlights fine hair and your facial contours, so you can see exactly where to glide the Dermaplaner.
A quick routine
- Cleanse and dry your skin.
- Spray in short bursts and wait a moment for the contrast to appear.
- Hold your skin taut and shave with short, light strokes.
- Rinse, moisturise and you're done.
