Perfectionist is Barefaced’s facial and shave oil. Before shaving, it helps the razor glide smoothly over your skin. As a facial oil, its blend of squalane and sunflower seed oil helps lock in moisture and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.

Perfectionist combines the glide of a shave oil with the nourishment of a facial oil. Squalane and sunflower seed oil help lock in moisture and soften dry skin, while ginger root extract helps calm the look of redness and soothe skin that feels sensitive, especially after shaving. You can also use it to give dry skin extra moisture, so it has a place in your routine beyond shaving.

Yes, Perfectionist doubles as a nourishing facial oil, even if you don’t shave. Apply it before facial massage, gua sha, or facial rolling to help your fingers or tool glide smoothly over your skin. You can also mix two drops into your moisturizer for extra moisture.

As a facial oil, apply Perfectionist as the last step in your nighttime skincare routine, or mix two drops into your moisturizer for extra moisture. For facial massage, gua sha, or facial rolling, smooth one full dropper over your face before you begin.

As a shave oil, apply one full dropper evenly over cleansed skin before shaving. After shaving, rinse your face with cool water.

Start with clean skin and apply Perfectionist to help your gua sha tool or facial roller glide. Afterward, rinse off any excess oil or use a gentle cleanser if your skin still feels oily. Then continue with your regular morning skincare routine.

Yes. Mix two drops of Perfectionist with Hydrating Lotion or your usual moisturizer when your skin feels dry and you want extra moisture.

Oilplaning is Barefaced’s approach to shaving your face at home with a facial razor and shave oil. Like dermaplaning, it removes peach fuzz and helps lift dull surface buildup for smoother-looking skin. Our method pairs the Facial Razor with Perfectionist, a facial and shave oil that helps the blade glide smoothly over your skin.

Yes. A shave oil helps the blade glide over your skin with less tugging and more control. We recommend Perfectionist, our facial and shave oil, for a smoother shave that leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable.

Yes. The Barefaced Shaving Kit pairs Perfectionist, our facial and shave oil, with the Barefaced Facial Razor. It includes one razor handle, three replaceable blades, and a carrying case.

We recommend oilplaning with Perfectionist once a week in the evening. You can do it less often if that suits your routine or your skin feels better with more time between shaves. Wait to shave if your skin is irritated, peeling, or experiencing active breakouts.

Start with Perfectionist to help the blade glide, and use light pressure as you shave. Avoid shaving over active breakouts or skin that’s flaky, irritated, or compromised.

After shaving, rinse with cool water, gently pat dry, and apply Hydrating Lotion or your usual gentle moisturizer. If your skin feels sensitive, skip exfoliating acids and retinoids that night. Wear SPF the next morning.

Yes, retinoids and exfoliating acids can still be part of your skincare routine if you dermaplane, but avoid shaving over skin that’s dry, red, peeling, or irritated. If your skin already tolerates Toning Pads, you can use them before shaving. Skip your retinoid the night you shave. If you use a prescription retinoid, ask your prescribing provider how to time it around dermaplaning.

Wait to oilplane if your skin is sunburned, peeling, or irritated. If you have an active breakout in one area, skip that spot and only shave where your skin feels calm. Shaving directly over a blemish can irritate it.

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider for any specific concerns.
