Dermaplaning: Should You Shave Your Face? A Dermatologist Explains | Dr. Sam Ellis

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- Dermaplaning is a super popular treatment that's done in office with a medical professional (like a medical esthetician or a dermatologist). It helps remove unwanted facial hair and exfoliates the skin. But should you shave your face at home? As a dermatologist, I'm a fan of dermaplaning, but there are a few things you should know before you try it at home.

I've been shaving my face for years, with a regular razor in the shower, I might add. I am turning 62 next week and I swear this practice has helped keep wrinkles at bay by exfoliating. Never cut myself, hair doesn't grow back coarser, and makeup goes on so smoothly!
What tool do you use?
Yup…. I’m also 62…. My skin looks wonderful….
@@user-hh8xg7kd4v she already said she uses a regular razor ffs
Me, too! I use a separate razor for my face, another one for my legs. Keep it super clean. Love the smooth look shaving gives me.
I have been shaving for years. I am often told I don’t look my age. I never mix leg razor and face razor. I pay well for face razor and for my legs any old bic will do. I put moisturizing sunscreen on immediately.
Can I just say I appreciate how you look directly into the camera lens. You are very photogenic with a lovely smile.
Agree, hate when people look away, makes me wonder are they talking to someone in the room with them, instood of the TH-cam audience 🤔 🙄 that there suposed to be talking to, Dr Sam never does that, she's the real deal
@@bernadettehynes-cafferkey3917 for me it's basically the opposite, but it's probably because I really hate eye contact, so it feels weird when (even on a video) someone looks directly into the camera, I have to look away from their eyes.
Thank you so much for making this video! It was so nice to get a well rounded view of the different types of hair removal, not just promoting the dermatology way, but also the less expensive options. I purchased a peach fuzz remover from Revlon and wanted to learn more about face shaving before trying it, and this was a huge help! :)
Thanks for the great explanation Dr Ellis, you’re always so engaging to watch!
I use the Dermaflash tool a couple of times a month and love it. Thank you for your content!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and in such a clear and concise way! I cannot wait to receive my first dermaplaning treatment and hydrofacial. I would also love to try microdermabrasion but I don’t want to overdo it! ☺️❤️
Hi Dr Sam,thank you so much for such an informative video! You've comprehensively answered all the questions I've needed addressed ,before I begin my face shaving journey on my 63 year old skin!
Many thanks, all the way from Scotland x
Wow hello mum I have that problem and ihas really affected me how will do please help me please
Just did this at home using real techniques face and eyebrow razor. It was fairly easy and I love the way my face feels!
Ive been putting this off for years in fear of it growing back thicker but youve put my mind at ease. Im so excited to try this tomorrow and have less cakey looking makeup.
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been wanting to try dermaplaning for a year now and heard bad things about people’s skin breaking out. But thanks to your video, it makes me less worried and I now know that your face needs before and after care when you do dermaplaning. Thanks again!
Thank you for this video!!!! I had sworn off shaving my face ( not the correct term dermaplaning) lol, and often I was breaking out after. However, I was not properly prepping my face and I didn't know to use a topical exfoliant after. I just assumed that was a no no. Your video was extremely informative and I'm starting back ASAP. I'm so excited! I have dark hair and lots of peach fuzz. Yaye! No more Sasquatch face!
Thank you so much for your excellent explanation of how you do this. I've been shaving for the last several years ever since I attended a clinic here in Paris regarding how to improve face preparation for makeup application. The results have really been great. However, your video taught me some new tricks! I must say that I have become a fan of yours after learning from your adapalene tretinoin video ...which i have recommended to many people.
Thank you so much! It makes me so happy when people can learn something new or helpful from my videos!
Thank you, Dr. Ellis! This video was very informative. You have put my mind at ease as it pertains to face shaving at home.
I was noticing a lot more issues with my foundation looking weird, and the little peach fuzzies were slightly darker toward the corners of my lips, so I recently picked up the metal facial razor from Sephora and used it last week. It was nice! I could definitely tell a difference with smoothness of my makeup and skincare.
The razor is nice because it has replaceable blades.
Girl, same!!! Thats why im watching this. Im wondering if its due to hormone changes, but in the last few months ive noticed the same things: foundation refusing to look smooth, my peach fuzz in the corners of my mouth turning darker shades n way more noticeable. Im glad im not alone, and im definitely going to start dermaplaning
I so appreciate this video. You answered so many questions!
Never felt the need of shaving my face. My peach fuzz doesn't seem obvious and don't feel it/see it :) Also I've acne prone skin... Thank you for the info!
I use the disposable Twinkle eyebrow razors and it really improves the look of foundation and does make the skin feel so soft.
Thanks a lot for this informative video! I would like to try shaving my face at home but I'm not sure about the timing because I self tan sometimes. I figured I shouldn't try face shaving right after tanning, but could it be beneficial for an even result to shave a couple days before? Or would that rather irritate the skin? I'd love to hear your opinion on this!
Omg, this was so useful!!! I recently bought one but I have been so scared to use it ... thank you for this information!
I use threading for the area around my eyebrows and jawlines. It makes your skin smooth and it creates the optical effect for a more defined jawline.
Thank you!!!! You taught me so much! Def passing them onto my friends
Thank you for this video!!!!! I followed along your steps and my skin is 😍😍😍 i can't believe it !!! I'm so happy for this !! 😃😃😃
This was so useful. Thank you so much!!!
Gr8 step-by-step video. So helpful!
i am a hairy brown girl (bengali) and i use a dermaplane razor for 20 dollars and its amazing ! my hair grows back normal
Thank you so much! Great video!
Thank you sooooo much 🤗 I loved this video
Thanks alot Dr Sam, you explained in a beautiful way..
I just love you videos!! You’re the best!!!💕💕
Great video, very helpful and explanatory. Would you please share your lipstick product, it’s very pretty! Thank you!
I use the Dermaflash tool and LOVE it.
I dermaplan at home and at my dermatologist’s office. I love it.
I haven't taken the plunge and shaved my entire face, but I do shave the area between my brows down to the bridge of my nose, and I'm amazed at how much dead skin I'm able to shave off just in that one small area. It's really very satisfying to see! Everyone is so afraid of hair growing back darker, myself included, but the fine, blond baby hairs between my brows are still the same as they were years ago when I first started shaving, so there's nothing to worry about!
so did the hair grew back like normal ?
@@guriya119 Yes, it does grow back normal. It's EXACTLY THE SAME as it was when I started shaving. The hair has not grown in thicker or darker. The only way to know I need to shave again is to look in a magnifying mirror under a bright light. That's when I can see all the little hairs! I shave about every 3-4 weeks (when I think about it!). Don't worry! You won't regret it!! It makes such a difference. : )
@@michellekelly2937 i really hope i wont regret it . thanks a lot Michelle
@@guriya119 have you tried it yet? If so how is it working for you?
I really like the Miss Gorgeous face shavers. I've been shaving at home for a few years now once or twice a week. I love how so smooth it makes my face feel. I usually use glycolic acid first, then rinse it off, shave, then rinse and apply moisturizer. I am afraid that the glycolic acid would sting if I applied after shaving.
Great video Dr. Ellis! I love dermaplaning! In my opinion, it's the secret to glass skin. I'm way overdue but need to wait for my acne to settle down. The results are amazing!
Do you mind me asking what your hair looks like growing back? I’ve never tried dermaplaning and I’m nervous for the hair to grow back. Is it similar looking to when leg hair grows? Or does it feel stubbley when you touch it?
It grows back as it was , no darker or no thicker
Thank you - I'll be buying the Versed tool and replacement blades. I bought a different big-manufacturer "dermaplaning" tool but you can't buy replacement blades-I thought I had no other choice. I have to do this about every 3 weeks or more frequently, even though I have blonde hair. And with aging it ain't getting any less frequent!! Whoever takes care of me in old age better do it for me!! For those of you with the stray black chin hair - go and get a certified electrolysis technician to zap them permanently. It's WELL worth it and not very expensive at all.
Thank you, this is great information. You’re so beautiful!
The skin breathes, have always agreed with this method, and 💯 correct about more vellus hair growing back, it does not. Thankyou 🙏🏻
I use a basic Bic disposable shaver. I have done the Derm abrasion when I was younger and it was ok. I have the acne ice pitting scars. I shave and do the Divine Glycolic Acid on my face and have noticed a huge change in the texture of my skin. At 64 I just feel blessed to be healthy and little to no sun damage. Again, thanks for your advice ❤️
Thank you so much for this information 😊
I bought this same Versed tool and started doing it recently! Love it! So annoyed I did not do it sooner!
I think they did a great job with this tool!
I hope to try this!
This channel has added so much joy to my life. Thank you so much Dr. Ellis
That was GREAT info!! Thank you❣️ Guess I'm gonna start shaving my face❣️❣️
Thank you for this excellent educational video. I get my first professional dermaplaning treatment tomorrow and want to care for my skin in the best possible way after, or do on my own at home later. ❤
Nice video verry helpful! It will be my first time now, love from the netherlands❤
I need to tell you... you look so much more beautiful without make up! very beautiful! im excited to try it out myself! thank you for the camparison with the bold man, that is such a good thing to say as I am a bit annoyed about that fear of so many... :)
I love face shaving as you call it and I use the Henson Shaver, which is already at a 45degree angle and manufactured in an aerospace environment. Precision = safe shave, no cuts and single blade. And above all, no landfill plastic garbage…..
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi Dr. Ellis, if you get a sec to answer: 1. 1. Would Paula's Choice BHA liquid be a good option right before or after face shaving or neither? For someone with clogged nose pores.
2. Why is face shaving done on dry skin when all other types of shaving requires shaving cream or oil???
3. How often do you recommend face shaving? Every two weeks?
What foundation or SPF are you wearing here? Looks great!
Love this! I had dermaplaning years ago, and do it at home and I agree with all the benefits you talk about. I've used all the tools you mentioned. I think they are all good options. I wish it were more main stream for women: not such a taboo topic. Thank you for this!
Wow idesire my face to be clear
do you not get stubble??
When I do that my skin doesn't peel like that. I do those everywhere day. It's great, I'm 66, feel like 50 and wish I had known about this way back. So much better for your skin
Love Tinkle tool
This is so helpful ❤️❤️❤️
Oily skin is something to take into consideration
Also let’s see the before and after. Thank you
Thank you. I have been searching for-e-ver for an extensive prep, shave, post routine. Ahhhh.....
Dr. Ellis great informative video; Thank you! What is your opinion on applying a chemical peel after dermaplaning? Thank you in advance!
The new release brow razor with Japanese blades, the T-shaped design is ergonomically designed， which will be popular this year.
I use a Schick dermaplane razor. 😁 thank you for the great content.
Threading was introduced to the USA in the last 12 years which is widely used in the eastern countries for ages. I learned it from my mother and it has 0 side effect if it was done effectively. The hair comes back as normal.
I am really hesitant for shaving as the hair might come back thicker like male hair so I am not sure of course there is skin benefit to shaving as you made it more clear and if a dermatologist is using why not. But then next step is to learn and practice
I used to get a full face threading and liked it but dermaplaning done correctly is so much better. I still get my eyebrows threaded
Thank you for your videos. So informative. Could you do a video 9n growth serums. They are by far the priciest product in my skin care routine. Are they worth it? Thinking of brands like Defenage , Alastin skinmedica TNS Serum
This was super informative and cleared up previous misinformation. Thank you.
How would you compare these to threading? I’ve always been apprehensive or fearful of shaving and turned to threading, which I love for the same purposes but my wonder now is, it may not provide the same level of exfoliation?
That aside, thank you again for taking the time to create and post.
Wow ! Your skin is even prettier without makeup! You have gorgeous skin !
Wonderful video. leaf Shave recently released their dermaplaning razor
As a guy who shave everyday, your hair doesnt get thicker or grow faster, trust me i wish 😄
1. Shave at the end of your shower with a shaving foam (its basically just a thicker soap, so also cleanses your face) for the smoothest and easiest glide.
If you use an oil cleanser at night, that works like a shaving foam too.
2. I wouldnt use any acids besides maybe hyauluronic and such after, as shaving is already exfoliating and removing the top layer of skin, and its extra sensitive after.
3. Shaving often doesnt harm, it actually keeps the skin looking very healthy and clean.
I looooove that you shared this with us. I was screaming from the shower “How tf do men do this?!”
@@BeKindRewind08 Also must say, use the Gillette Mach 3 (probably best Gillette carthridge razor), its safer, easier and faster to shave with.
Not necessary to shave at the end of shower, i do it bc it makes the beard soft and thus the blade easier to cut through it, but if doing it for your skin, whenever is fine.
oh man exfoliating after shaving would be brutal lol. but yeah agree with everything u wrote
You are a life saver 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thankyou idk y i believed that lie too lol but thnxs
Was afraid to shave my face at first but now I'm SO glad that I did.. Make up looks better n I don't have to use as much of my serums n moisturizers...
You might be touching your face more often to feel you smooth skin ! I know I do, but I wash my hands a lot !
I am also afraid and i have big and thick side locks please suggest me about shaving
What aha bha toning pads did you use in this video? I am new to skin care and love your videos! Thank you!!
I’ve been doing this for years with an eyebrow razor. In the beginning I definitely cut myself a time or two, but after a few tries it’s a piece of cake and makeup sits so much better on your face.
I feel like it can work great for some people, but for others, the risks and upkeep outweigh the benefits.
I agree my facial hair grew back darker and coarse
I shave every 2 weeks my whole face and it never grew darker or bigger, I pluck my eyebrows, beard and mustache 2 times a week for the thick hairs and then i shave it once every 2 weeks, I have done it for the last 3 years. Best decision ever! Although I always do it in a wet face with conditioner (my skin is way too sensitive for doing it dry) The only problem is that is not a sustainable product, you often have to throw away the blade once is worn out, and most cheap blades are not very sharp so you have to be somewhat agressive, Im looking for sustainable options! I have been considering to buy a male shaver with a razor blade sharpener so I can have something reusable and friendly with the enviorment!
Thank you Dr.Ellis for doing this video. I’ve been afraid to try dermablading. Thought my fuzzies would grow back thicker. Can you just use a good moisturizer after derm blading instead of those other products. Also is using actizone firming facial pads after a good idea? What are your thoughts?
Just dermplaned for the first time. This is my "trail." I hope this process helps & is healthy for my skin; using razors isn't so helpful for me, though they're convenient; I get dermatitis out breaks.
Omg this feels life changing for me. I know that sounds a little over dramatic but I have PCOS and I have a lot of facial hair that I have always been so self conscious about. I pluck and wax but I have always been scared to shave because I didn't want it to grow back darker and thicker. So to hear you say it won't literally is going to change my life. I just now went to Amazon and ordered me some of the eye brow razors and they will be here in 2 days! 😬 I can't wait to try this!
How did it go ? What was your pre & post care?
Kayla, can you give an update?
@@julienicklaus9545 I tried it and now it is a regular part of my skincare routine. I love it! It has made my skin so much cleaner looking and feeling. And I don't have to worry about the fear of a long stray hair somewhere on my face.
@@kaylasprettynails2848 Does the regrowth feel really stubbly? How often are you doing it? So you don’t regret starting?
I’ve just started shaving my face at age 60. The best facial treatment ever I can’t believe it. Hair does not grow back thicker or quicker but it does get rid of dead skin and gives me a glow. Best beauty ever.
I have also!
Why in the world would u do that? At 60 it isnt going to do much anyway to improve your face now!!!
Not heard the phrase “it’s never too late”. I’m a very positive person and I’m not ready just yet to go off to grazing. Always be positive even when things look bad and you’ll see the outcome, it will always be better. Try it dear. Have a wonderful day and May the lord bless you and your family with health strength and happiness 🙏
@@sharoncrawford566 That was not very nice of you to say. You sound like a snotty little brat. One day you’re going to get older. And hopefully more mature.
@@rjhoward3419
Yea and she's clueless, alot of men prefer older women. And I mean good looking men that are done with mouthy spoiled tattle tale brats......
Hi Dr. Sam Ellis! In the video you talked about disposable eyebrow razors. Which one do you recommend?
Please do a video for melasma
i shave my face about twice a month with a straight razor, i was using the twinkle razors but i felt like i was being wasteful then i switched. Its definitely a little learning curve and not so beginner friendly but i like it now. i usually do Dr.Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Face peel pads (ES) after then a soothing sleeping mask. i love it!!
Love those DG pads too!
Perhaps give the names of the tools used and also kif it can be ordered online??
Great video by the way. Yours was the first one I selected as I'm doing research but honestly I don't think I'll watch anymore yours was straight to the point and not trying to sell anything. Thanks for sharing.
Surely peach fuzz/vellus hairs have a purpose like insulating the skin or keeping certain dirt from setting into the skin.
Youre the most gorgeous dermatologist on youtube
AGREED
Yes
Absolutely true
definitely! but also love dr. shereene Idriss
Dr. V is gorgeous too 😄 She specialises in skin care for brown & black people.
Years ago, I was enamored of microdermabrasion. During one session, my esthetician very tactfully mentioned face fuzz and that she'd noticed it on herself. Naturally, I noticed the fuzz on my own face after that. I'm 60 years old and after shaving my face for nearly 25 years, I have no wrinkles. I've only recently begun using vitamin C serum, which is lovely and brightening but haven't tried any acids. I honestly had no idea that my skin should probably look a bit creased until very recently!! I highly recommend this!!
I dont believe u have no wrinkles!!! Stop the BS!!
@@sharoncrawford566 Seriously? Ok. Believe or don't believe. Not my channel...just my flawless face talking.
@@deftlefthand9964 I have wrinkles and I'm 30 :(
@@nikkidasso6623 hi there. Well, I can highly recommend dermaplaning. I wish I could tell you I use sun screen but I don't. Some skin is more inclined to wrinkle than others - genetics. I've long heard that drinking lots of water is good for your skin and yes, I do that because I don't care for other beverages. I think it would require more water than the recommended amount to actually impact a person's skin. I think that exfoliation and keeping your face clean and properly moisturized are key. I'd opt for skin brightening serums like vitamin c and glycolic acid. As far as exfoliating goes, there are a variety of safe and cost effective ways to do that. Yes to dermaplaning and yes to exfoliating enzymes, which is what I was doing years ago. I used a pumpkin enzyme mask once a week. When I wear foundation, it's a brightening formula. Years ago, I used dewy finish by Clinique and now I use Lift and Luminate by N°7. I've never found a product I love for my neck but feel better about it when I apply a serum (using M3 vitamin C.) I've decided to accept it along with crows feet...which I kinda like.
Judith, I'm in my mid 50s and don't have wrinkles, as such, although I do have a smile line either side of my mouth. But no crows feet or forehead wrinkles, and people are often surprised to learn my age, or hear me talk about my grandchildren.
I always thought that it was due to having greasy skin when I was younger, but you've just put me right there!
However, my mum and her sisters had younger looking skin up until they were around my age. Then they started getting lots of wrinkles quite fast, but they smoked all their lives and sunbathed using tan oil. I've done neither, so I hope to age a little more gradually from now on.
In reply to the woman in her 30s with wrinkles, I'm often mistaken for that age, but it's just a combination of luck and lifestyle. Love the skin you're in and make the most of what you have. Comparisons (even with our younger selves) isn't helpful or good for our wellbeing. We have to live for the here and now.
Thank you. I`m thinking about trying dermaplaning, I cannot do it now as I`m with my rosacea uncontroled as I`ve been aplying new products. But I will... :)
Very informative and I am going to try it! Thank you! Did I understand correctly that I can then exfoliate after shaving? Can I use a either a physical exfoliant or just a chemical exfoliant (glycolic acid)? Great video!
Okay but what's the real difference between thicker hair and hair that just appears thicker? It's not like hair that just looks thick is more desirable. I don't want to risk having thick looking hair all over my face! I don't understand why dermatologists always make this distinction when in reality neither one of those options are desirable. That right there convinced me not to try this tbh because I don't want to be forced to keep doing it forever or have hair that's more noticeable all over my face.
I'm 64 and all my life I've had facial hair,but seems worse after menopause,seen many dermaplaning videos and just done it I've never shook soooo much,yes I did knick myself too. Next time I might have a steady hand. Now I'll wait patiently to see how long it will last.
I always use Witch Hazel right after to prevent razor burn
Hi Dr Sam I do "shave my face" with the eyebrow razers mentioned and have done for a few years. I have very sensitive skin with both rosacea and eczema, so I'm cautious about what I use on my skin afterwards for a few days. I wouldn't dream of doing it during an active flare though. The day before I use a 1% BHA from paula's choice calm range. I then use a 5% mandelic acid toner by wishtrend pre shave and only soothing/calming skincare post shave. I wouldn't be able to use an AHA etc post shave and have to avoid anything harsh for even up to three days afterwards, including my retinoid. I do however use azelaic acid the following day to help with any redness/irritation and keep my skin clear. My skin is very reactive though and perhaps needs more gentle care than most people will. I do get quite a bit of manual exfoliation on my skin, as well as hair removal. Best wishes.
These are great recs and I think those with sensitive skin will totally benefit from reading this comment and applying some of the products your recommend!
If you don't shave for six week, what's happen? the hair will grow darker? or since even growing, could appear to be more hair? thank you.
@@galato4234 As discussed in the video the hair itself is not affected - no change to the hair colour, texture or amount. it doesn't matter how many weeks in between.
Hi ,can you guide me i have dry skin because i live in very cold country,i want to ask i did the dermaplaning on dry skin,and then i have noticed that i white things was apearing from my skin as i was stretching the skin,i think that white things were white heads,i wanted to ask is it okay to dermaplane the skin which is full of white heads ,and should i apply some oil before dermaplaning?please reply soon
@@mishoamad9097 Without being able to see your skin it's not really something that can be diagnosed. Whiteheads are little plugs of dead skin, oil and debris that have not oxidised like blackheads. These mostly occur on oilier skin and really shouldn't be caused by dermoplaning. I would worry that it is something else ??? perhaps a rash, infection or even milia. I think it's important to get the "white things" diagnosed properly. Perhaps your family doctor/general practitioner or even your local pharmacist could help with that. Running a blade over bumpy skin can be problematic and that's why it's not recommended for active acne, where it could spread bacteria. Stretching the skin gently shouldn't cause whiteheads to form tbh. Diagnosing skin issues yourself is usually not the best approach and I think it's important to get this accurately diagnosed, prior to repeating any dermaplaning. I hope that helps.
Gracias un millón con ❤️ desde 🇵🇷🏖!
Lovely video- Can I use retinal after derma planing? Thank you
Hi Samm, thank you for this video. What is your experience with woman with thick, dark and a lot of facial hair? Does it look ‘worse’ after a few days because you cut it at a thick part of the hair?
thank you❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Iv been doing this since I was a teenager and I'm 60. My skin is so smooth and bright people think im 40 plus my diet.
I dermaplaned for the first time today. I’m 50. I had normal blonde fuzz but started to really feel like I got fuzzier recently. No one noticed but me and I gave it a whirl. I used the Gillette Venus dermaplaning razor I picked up from Walgreens. It was so comfortable. I barely felt the blade on my skin. I tried to not go over the same area twice but at the end missed one or two areas and went upward to get those shorter rough patches. The downward didn’t work in that area. But I did short feathery 45 degree angle strokes otherwise. My prep was washing with cetaphil foaming cleanser which is my new fave facial wash. I then wiped with rubbing alcohol pad. Skin was clean and dry. Afterward I wiped with micellar water and also witch hazel. I applied the Gillette serum I bought which was calming and lovely. It has hylauronic acid,niaciniamide, aloe, witch hazel and cucumber water. Very gentle. I’ll put more on tonight. Tomorrow I’ll use my regular lotions. Just giving skin a break overnight to calm. So far no rash. Hoping for no issues this week. I’m actually glad I did it myself. I feel like if I went to a salon it would have been a deeper exfoliation causing more sensitivity. My skin seems to be tolerating the dry planing tonight. It’s been several hours and I’m not red at all. I will hopefully only need to do this monthly. I hope.
I have been doing this for years and I have tried several dermaplaning devices. The ONLY thing I will continue to use is the single blade BIC razors, they work better and are cheap and I get a new blade each time. The best. As a former esthetician I will not spent $$$ on fancy devices when a BIC razor does a better job for me.
I did this earlier today I was so excited I think I over did it to the point where I have razor burns and red marks. Next time very light strokes. Thanks for the info.
My facial hair came back thicker and dark after shaving 😢😢it was terrible and I found out about Doctor isibor Herbal product and cleanser that helped balance my hormones and remove the hairs completely it’s been 3 years now no hair growth
Your English is soo soothing!
Thanks❤
I moisturize with a moisture of vitamin c and grape seed oil and lavender oil. Best ever. Legs etc!!!
