- You can numb the skin with a topical ointment such as lidocaine, and then gently wipe residue clean with witch hazel.

Good luck...and don't over tweeze!
Try tweezing after a warm bath or shower; the heat and steam will open the pores, making hair easier to remove. When you pluck, make sure you have a firm grip on the tweezers and grab as close to the hair's base as possible before gently pulling in the direction the hair grows. You might also want to sterilize the tweezers before use by wiping them with rubbing alcohol. This can help prevent infection, which could lead to scarring.
