Question:
I’ve recently started plucking my eyebrows and find it such a painful experience. I love it when they’re nicely groomed, but it hurts a lot. Do you have any suggestions on how to make this beauty routine less torturous?

Answer:
It can be a painful experience the fist time you pluck, but nicely shaped brows highlight your eyes and frame your face. Here are a few tips to make it easier.
Pluck after a warm shower, when the follicles become slightly swollen and hair tends to come away more easily. Before you begin, dab on a little Bonjela (used for teething babies to numb their gums, available from pharmacies). When you’ve finished plucking, apply fresh aloe vera (available from health food stores) to soothe your skin.
