Want to know how to prevent your tweezers from getting damaged while keeping them in good shape? The trick is to store them properly!
.
Of course, there’s much more to this than simply tucking them away in your drawer. Truly the best way to make your beauty tools last longer is to invest in high quality products and properly maintain them. Here’s how:
.
.
SANITIZE THEM
This may come as a shocker, but keeping your tweezers clean is essential in making them last longer!
.
This is a vital step before storing, as keeping your beauty tools sanitized and away from any gross bacteria can stop them from spreading unwanted germs that could later cause infections on your skin. Disinfecting your tweezers after each use is also important for maintaining overall good hygiene. Read all about it on our recent blog, How To Disinfect Your Tweezers, where we dive into different products and methods for cleaning!
.
TIP: always make sure your tweezers are completely dry before storing them away.

KEEP TIP PROTECTORS ON
Tip protectors are really important for storing tweezers. They help the exposed metal tip of your tweezer stay clean and away from potential damage. They also help to keep the tension of your tweezers the same for long term use!
This is especially useful for storing. You should make sure to keep your tip protector on at all times when not in use. All ArteStile tweezers come with tip protectors.
.
This is one of the most important ways to make sure your tweezers last a very long time, because without tip protectors, tweezers could easily get damaged or broken.

BE CAREFUL
Tweezers are delicate and sharp beauty tools, meaning they are susceptible to damage. Although tweezers can be used for many purposes, don’t use them for things that may be too harsh which could cause damage to the tips. It’s safe to keep them for personal grooming purposes only. ArteStile tweezers, hand-filed in Italy, are specifically made to tweeze facial hair, making sure one can grab even the finest of hairs or stubborn, thick ones. Ensuring you are using your tools carefully and with caution can help you be more aware on how to handle, store and prevent tweezers from damage.
.
NEVER DROP THEM
This almost goes without saying but one of the worst things you can possibly do is drop your tweezers. The tips of tweezers are very fragile and dropping them, especially on their tips, can completely ruin or dull them! Once the tip of your tweezers are dull, plucking your brows with precision can become extremely difficult, and inefficient. However, an even larger concern with dropping tweezers on their tips is potentially damaging them, causing the tweezers to become completely unusable.
.
TIP: Always store your tweezers somewhere safe, away from potential falls or mishaps!
