bliddy plucking eyebrows is such a pain...there has to be an easier way or a great set of tweezers out there! I'm talking about the little ******* that don't go with the waxing.

I've heard that rubbing either an ice cube or bonjela on your eyebrows can numb the pain but I've never tried either!

Ice cube I can understand but I'm not sure about the bonjela!

[4getmenot]

a hot towell placed over before open pores up then tweezer it out to side rather than just pulling out

[daffidazey]

Bonjela makes the area go a bit numb, chazza. Like it does on babies gums when they are teething x

[daffidazey]

Oh, meant to say, I always do mine when I have just got out of the bath as like 4get says, the pores are more open and they come out easier.
Still never pain free though! lol! x

[4getmenot]

especially the ones right near the top of nose ouch. I tend to shave them off if I cant be bothered to pluck

[sandrajo]

really 4getmenot, shave them...do they not grow in funny then?

[4getmenot]

No I just get very corner of razor and do bits, they grow back alot quicker but just easier if I'm in a rush

I have recently bought some 'professional' tweezers from boots. They are black and sold on the same counter as all the normal tweezers. They have proved to be really good.

get some cotton wool and wet it with warm water gently stroke the area with the cotton wool this will open your pores and will make it less painful for you and invest in some witch hazel and apply with cotton wool afterwards which will sooth the area and don't wear any make up on the area for at least an hour to allow your pores to close back up again hope this helps x

[tinkerbell99]

i forgot to mention always pluck in the direction of the hair growth it will make it more bearable as well as the other things i said x
