It has a simple form, two levers fused at one end, its hair removal. The tool of choice for removing unwanted hair and shaping eyebrows. Its tweezers of course!
On of the most important accompaniments to anyone’s collection of cosmetics is a good pair of tweezers.
Below find some Top TIPs about tweezers.
1. TIP TOP
Tweezers come with different tips. Three of them mainly being, slanted, pointed and square.
Slanted tips are the ideal tips for eyebrow shaping and general tweezing.
pointed tip tweezers are ideal for ingrown hair and splinters, while square tips are mostly used for large flat surfaces ie the chin.
As you squeeze the arms of the tweezer together the force is sent to the tip. Having a good grip on your tweezers effects its functionality greatly.
People with week hands and painful joints should use tweezers with scissor style handles.
2. PAINLESS PLUCKING
So you’ve chosen the tweezer that has the right tip and a comfortable grip, now you can start preparing for a painless pluck. Hair is more easily removed if you open your pores before. The best time to pluck is after a warm bath or shower so your skin is soft. You can also steam your face over a basin of hot water or place a warm face cloth on your face.
To help numb the skin and reduce pain, put your tweezers in the freezer before you use them.
3. MIRROR IMAGE:
Good lighting and a good mirror are very important for an effective plucking.
The best type of mirror to use would be a mirror which offers both a regular view and magnified view.
