For a super-smooth base, use Tweezerman's answer to spenny in-salon dermaplaning treatments. The small blade (it's not as scary as it sounds - we promise!) sweeps across the contours of your face to eliminate dead skin cells and removing peach fuzz for an all-over brighter complexion. Make sure to use just after cleansing and on damp skin for the best results.
