Tweezers are a tool that some always have in their purse to make small touch-ups here and there and that others flee like the plague. But if you use it, regularly or not, Might as well do it the right way to avoid all sorts of mishaps. But what are the risks of shaving your eyebrows in the wrong way and above all which gesture should be avoided when you want to use the tweezers properly?
Do not hold the skin while pulling the hair: the gesture to be avoided
Dermatologist Lynn McKinley-Grant extended THE gesture best avoided in magazine columns Good and right. According to her, pulling out the hair without holding the skin of the affected area with the hand not holding the pliers would be compromising on the skin.
This trick would reduce the space the hair has to go through because “the hair follicle goes down deeply in the skin”. But why bother? Start, this gesture considerably facilitates the extraction of the hair and allows to limit its breakage, a phenomenon that can cause hair under the skin. But the dermatologist recommends this gesture for another important reason.
Limits the risk of skin trauma
When the skin of the area you want to epilate is not stretched, we often end up with a surplus that can make hair removal more difficult. Result? You can hurt yourself by trying to pull at the hair and grabbing at the skin at the same time. “Poorly done hair removal with tweezers can lead to significant scarring”warn the doctor.
She also prefers to recommend waxing rather than tweezing, which she considers less dangerous. Dr. Nina Roos explained how much to her in an interview for Current wife that this tool should be used when you want to get rid of small hairs and not do a bigger hair removal. In the latter case, depilation with wax, electric epilator or thread is more appropriate. If you still want to use tweezers, disinfect it with 60° alcohol to avoid the risk of infection. We have been warned!
