According to beauty experts, more women than EVER are shaving their faces, and it's not just to get rid of unwanted hairs.

Apparently, more and more dermatologists are recommending women shave their faces to help exfoliate their skin.

Dr. David Kim, a dermatologist in San Francisco, told the Wall Street Journal that shaving your face can provide a lot of the same benefits that a dermaplaning treatment does.

He says, "Dermaplaning is when you take a very gentle, blunt scalpel and you scrape over the surface of your skin on the face or anywhere else on the body to gently exfoliate, to remove . . . dead skin cells and dirt and oil accumulation."
