How It Works: Tweezing is the act of plucking individual hairs from skin using — you guessed it — tweezers. It can be done using tweezers with different tips, but one with a slant tip (like the Tweezerman Rose Gold Slant Tweezer ($24)) lifts single and multiple hairs more easily.
How Much It Hurts: Pain when it comes to tweezing can range from non-existent to sharp stinging depending on coarseness of hair, sensitivity of area, and pain threshold of the person doing it.
