How to Tweeze Eyebrows Without Pain

Many women (and men) have unsightly, bushy eyebrows that must be tweezed. But there is always a fair amount of pain that goes along when you tweeze. Here's a few easy tricks to reduce the pain of tweezing.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Tweeze hairs one at a time. Although it will get the job done faster, grabbing several hairs at one time will only increase the pain. Be careful to tweeze hairs individually.

2. Before you tweeze the hair, grab the skin above your eye between your thumb and index finger. Lightly pinch the skin together and slightly pull it away from your face towards the mirror.

3. Tweeze the hair on this skin that is pinched. This method of pinching while you tweeze greatly reduces the pain associated with tweezing.

4. You can also try numbing the eyebrow area with an ice cube wrapped in a paper towel. Apply the ice for several minutes before tweezing and shortly after to reduce pain and redness.

5. As you tweeze more and more, the pain seems to go away and you may not need any measures to reduce the pain.
