Whether you’re using them to shape your eyebrows, apply false lashes, or target ingrown hairs, tweezers are an essential part of everyone’s vanity kit. Grooming with tweezers is a process we all have to do at some point, and finding the right tool shouldn’t be so hard. Trust us, a brand new set of tweezers can make the process easy and pain-free.
When buying a new set of tweezers, keep in mind the shape and size that’s best for your needs. For example, you wouldn’t want to remove an ingrown hair on your chin with the same tweezers you use to shape your brows. It’s not only a waste of time but can be irritating to the skin. With this in mind, you’ll want to consider tweezers of all shapes and sizes based on your needs.

The super-fine tip makes it easy to remove anything embedded beneath the skin, gently pulling it from the base. You lose the risk of infecting the area with your fingers or the wrong tool as soon as you put these pointers to use.
