Quick answer
Clean your dermaplaner after every use with rubbing alcohol and warm water, then dry it thoroughly to prevent rust and maintain hygiene.
Why regular cleaning matters
Your dermaplaner touches your skin every time you use it, so it collects dead skin cells, oil, and product residue. If you don't clean it properly, bacteria can build up and cause irritation or breakouts.
A reusable metal dermaplaner is built to last, but only if you care for it. The Swedish stainless steel blade stays sharp when you keep it clean and dry. Skipping the care routine can dull the blade faster and make it less effective.
What to avoid
Don't soak your dermaplaner in water for long periods. Even stainless steel can corrode if left wet. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can damage the blade edge.
Always dry the blade completely after cleaning. Moisture is the biggest enemy of a reusable razor. Store it in a dry place, away from the shower or sink.
Step-by-step dermaplaner care
- Rinse after use: Hold the dermaplaner under warm running water to remove loose skin cells and product. Use your fingers to gently wipe the blade surface, moving away from the edge. Never use soap on the blade while it's attached; it can leave a film.
- Sanitize with alcohol: Spray or dip the blade in 70% isopropyl alcohol for a few seconds. Let it air dry on a clean towel. This kills bacteria without dulling the blade. Alcohol dries quickly, so you can store it sooner.
- Dry and store properly: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to pat the blade dry. Make sure there's no moisture left, then store it in a dry place, ideally in a protective sleeve or case. Check the blade for water spots before your next use.
