Tweezers are small tools used to hold tiny objects, they are held using your index finger and your thumb, then pressed gently to have a firm grip on the tiny objects. When removing your lashes try other methods like using an oil-based cleanser, steaming, hot shower, and glue dissolver. Don’t try using tweezers by yourself.

Using a tweezer requires the assistance of an expert. Using it by yourself will end up damaging your natural lashes in the process. I can imagine the feeling of losing your natural lashes when you intend to remove the fake lashes. So take that as a precaution always when trying to remove your lash extensions without the assistance of an expert.
