Tweezers – Solingen Tweezers for Eyebrows, Splinters and Precise Plucking - page 2

Tweezers are precise tools for shaping eyebrows, plucking individual hairs and removing splinters and ingrown hairs. This category, part of Manicure and Pedicure, offers Solingen stainless steel tweezers – straight, slanted, pointed, rounded and automatic, models with gold-plated tips, as well as tweezers with LED light for working in poor lighting.

Which tweezer tip to choose

The shape of the tip determines what the tweezers are best for. If you buy just one pair, slanted tweezers suit most people, and pointed tweezers are handy for fine work.

How to pluck hairs correctly

• Wash and dry the skin first; a warm damp cloth softens the skin slightly
• Stretch the skin with your fingers and grip the hair as close to the root as possible
• Pluck in the direction of hair growth in one firm movement
• Afterwards soothe the skin with a mild alcohol-free toner or gel
• Clean the tweezers after every use with alcohol or a disinfectant and store them in a protective case

Tweezers for splinters and ticks

Pointed tweezers are useful in the home medicine cabinet for removing splinters and thorns. They can also be used to remove ticks: grip the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull it out with steady, gentle pressure, without twisting or squeezing its body.
