Tweezerman Smooth Finish Facial Hair Remover Pink - Easy and Gentle Facial Hair Remover for Women, Tweezerette Tweezer Included In Pack

I sooo wish I new about this a long time agoGreat piece of kit does the job, not painful.Some people say they found hard to get the knack of using but I found it easy and I can be quite cagey handed sometimes.

I really was not expecting this to work, but it absolutely does! It has a little trouble with some of the wirier hairs but I picked up the stragglers with the tweezers included. I've got the smoothest chin I've had in months. Warning - it was a bit painful in the upper-lip area but that would be the same with any epilator.

I just got this today and already wouldn’t be without it. It’s a fantastic tool, but does take some experimenting to get the result. Firstly, make sure you turn the handles the right way (in the direction of the little arrows). Secondly, I found how taught the skin is made a difference. Sometimes taught was better (pushing your cheek out with your tongue, stretching jaw wide etc), sometimes looser skin was better. But most important was, thirdly, to press the spring into the skin quite firmly (once you get used to it). Just rolling it over the surface lightly isn’t enough for some hairs/areas, you need to push it into the skin to press it in towards the root of the hair. This feels counterintuitive, as it does nip a bit and you don’t want to make it worse, but actually I found it’s less nippy if you press in, and more effective. I used the straight sides for larger areas - cheeks, jawline - & the curved middle for smaller bits - upper lip and above eyebrows. I’ve not been brave enough to try it below eyebrows yet (in case I pull out a big chunk of brow), and the website says it’s not for brows. It’s quite addictive and I’m really pleased I bought it.

Having always used epiwands for depilation, where you need to twist the wand with your fingers, I was hopeful the Tweezerman's auto twisting as you roll it across the skin would be easier.Despite persisting and following directions, rolling it across the skin as per instructions resulted hairs being broken off (not gripped strongly enough to pluck) or hairs missed altogether. The same length hair is plucked fine with my ordinary epiwand.If there was some way of adjusting the angle of the arc shape the Tweezerman then it might help. Alas this does not seem to be possible, at least I didn't want to bend the instrument!So the principle of the Tweezerman is lovely but unfortunately in practice it doesn't work and I will go back to my epiwands.

This is easy enough to use once you get the hang of it and it does pull all of the hairs out, it hurts but you get used to the pain after a bit. It might just be my skin, but I got sooo many spots and bumps all over the areas i’d epilated, which lasted for over a week after the epilation, makeup would never have hidden it. The results last a few weeks though, so maybe try an Aloe Vera calming gel or something after doing it to limit the irritation and overall I’d say it’s still worth it - just don’t risk doing it before an event or holiday or anything important like that in case you suffer a breakout like I did!

Firstly, to learn how to use it go online and you'll find lots of tutorials - the instructions on the pack are vague to say the least. Secondly, don't give up; once you get the knack it's so easy - and dare I say rather enjoyable to use. I would say using it after a warm shower/bath is going to help, as the hairs pop out much easier and your skin is clean, afterwards I use a toner to refresh the skin. In the past I had some electrolysis sessions (I couldn't have laser due to be very fair) and they were expensive and the hair came back. So for me personally this is a complete game changer for my hairy chin - I haven't used it on the upper lip, preferring to use a trimmer there. As for the price, it looks and feels very well made and I imagine having it for many years, so while the initial cost might seem a lot, it's worth it and you get a free tweezer which is handy for the hairs that are a little too short for the facial hair remover to reach. When you think about the cost of electrolysis and laser (with no guarantee that the hair won't return), this is a complete and utter bargain!!! Highly recommend this for all us hairy girls ;-)

There is definitely a nack to using this effectively, but once you’ve got the hang of it (didn’t take long), it incredibly effective! I have dark hair, pale skin & will never go back to waxing after using this. Top tip - use on clean skin & apply a bit of aloe Vera gel after use to prevent any soreness/spots.

Let’s start with the first time you use it-it hurts. Of course it does-you’re literally ripping numerous hairs out of your face at the same time. But with all of these types of things, it gets less painful the more you get used to itIs a bit fiddly to use initially, but again, you get used to it. I now gross my husband out by sitting on my sofa on a Sunday with it-very therapeutic!!Once you get over the pain and used to handling the device, it’s pretty good. It doesn’t get every single hair, but enough that I’m satisfied that I don’t look like the bearded woman. If I had a third hand however, and could pull my skin taught, I suspect it would work better (husband won’t help-as I said, this is the one tool that grosses him out…) but you need both hands to use.Worth it in my view
