Facial Hair Removal - Tweezing

Tweezing is ideal for stray hairs which may appear anywhere on the face. Tweezing is also an excellent facial hair removal method for shaping the eyebrows.

Here are some tips when using tweezers for facial hair removal:

Stretch the skin slightly, grip the hair close to the root, and pull gently, firmly and evenly. Yanking the hair may cause it to break off thus increasing the risk of ingrown hair.
Use good tweezers.
Make sure you are in good even light.
Pull the hairs in the direction of growth.
Tweezing after a bath or shower is easier when the skin is warm.
Rub an ice cube over the area after tweezing to reduce redness.
Avoid plucking just before a period as more pain or discomfort may be felt at this time.
