If you're desperate to ward off wrinkles, tell your man to move over and make room at the bathroom sink.
Turns out, shaving your face could help skin stay youthful, according to some beauty experts.
One of the growing trends in skin care doesn't involve a laser or a needle. Instead, it simply calls for a razor.
"I don't think I look almost 50 years old. I think I look younger."
At 47-years old, Tina Case has been shaving her face with her husband's razor for 10 years.
"It just makes your skin smoother, brighter, it just looks better."
Of course, men have been doing it for a long time for practical reasons, but now women say they're getting the benefit.
"So shaving is a form of mechanical exfoliation, it removes dead skin cells from the face as well as decreasing the hair on the face."
Doctor Melanie Prince says as long as you don't have active acne, it's safe and can even help your skin stay youthful.
"It's actually been commonly done back in Asian cultures where women shave their face basically from the hairline down."
In a professional setting the concept is called dermaplaning. The difference is in the blade.
"An esthetician is skilled at how to do it. We go a little deeper, so you take off more of the dead skin than you do just the hair."
THV11's Meredith Mitchell had the procedure done by licensed esthetician Virginia Nelson at Chenal Skin Care to see what they hype was all about.
A common fear is that the hair will grow back thicker or darker after the procedure.
"When you shave particularly the fine hairs on the face it's not going to grow back thicker because you're not changing the actual hair root," said Nelson.
So if you ever thought the men around you had nicer skin, now you're in on the secret.
"As crazy as it sounds…I just think your skin just looks so much better after doing it."
Nelson says dermaplaning is a great option for those with sensitive skin who can't have more invasive treatments.
The cost of the procedure typically runs around $95.
