Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the proper way to pluck hairs with tweezers?
Grab each hair at the root with your tweezer and pull smoothly in the direction of hair growth. Using them excessively on a large area to remove many hairs can cause ingrown hairs, so tweeze in moderation.
What’s the difference between slanted-tip and pointed-tip tweezers?
Slanted-tip tweezers can be used for longer, coarser hairs since they grip with a wider surface area. Pointed-tip tweezers are meant for fine or ingrown hairs since they offer greater precision.
What can I do to prepare to tweeze hairs?
Be sure that your pores are open before tweezing so that the hairs are easier to remove. Take a warm shower or bath if you can, or use a hot washcloth on your face pre-pluck.
