How come I could give birth 7 times with no meds, but can't stand having my eyebrows done? Even "threading" which my dd told me didn't hurt as much, really DID!

I learned a trick years ago for dealing with the family unibrow. Take a wrung out, hot wash cloth, (tap water! No microwaves here ladies...), and hold it to the eyebrow area for a couple minutes. You can now pluck pain free. It takes a few minutes longer for my sister to feel no pain, so adjust to you. You're welcome. Anything I can do to prevent pain, is my pleasure. ;)

P. S. Do not do this just before you leave the house. I did once and spent the first half hour of a party explaining why my eyebrows were bright red. (After that, so was my face!) LOL!

I use moisturizer all the time and have found that there is literally no pain when I do mine with the tweezers. I must be used to it now so there is NO pain at all. The moisturizer must soften and open the pores so you can remove the hair.
