Tweezing Advice Note #1
For ingrown hairs which are deep, sterilize a pair of needle-nosed tweezers with rubbing alcohol and individually lift each ingrown hair out of its follicle.
You may need assistance from a partner if it is difficult for you to see it.
Wipe the area with alcohol afterwards and shave.

Tweezing Advice Note #2
If needle-nosed tweezers are not available, wipe a pin or needle and the ingrown area with rubbing alcohol.
Then carefully release the hair in the direction that it grows using the tip of the needle only.
Never jab the needle into the skin.
After the hair is released, wipe the skin with alcohol again.
Tweezing Advice Note #3
Do not use ordinary tweezers to release the hair as there is the risk of taking out a chunk of the skin with it resulting in more skin irritation and damage.
Tweezing Advice Note #4
After releasing the ingrown hair, use an aftershave moisturizer to help close the pores and heal the skin.
