When you are plucking your eyebrows you usually put a hot flannel to the area first to open up the pores or something, making the plucking easier....
But when you are using an epilator, some of them come with an icepack to numb the pain....
So which helps more, heat, or cold?

heat is the best for using an epilator as it does open the pores. you should also exfoliate first or use pre-wax lotion, dry thoroughly then apply some talc, this makes the hairs catch easier.. the ice pack supplied is usually only for numbing the area which is sore

Both as the heat will open the pores to help the hairs become removed but the cold pack will help reduce the pain you can also use witch hazel to help numb the pain after

the heat is best as it opens the pores in your skin making the waxing or plucking less painfull try doing it after a bath or shower

heat opens the pores up so the root eases out easier, ice packs just numb the pain, i would go with the heat because you dont get spots where the root is forced out

Heat helps to open and unclog pores. Cold helps to shrink pores which leads to less irritation and swelling.

oh dear, no open flames near your face please. When i pluck my brows, i use a dab of hot water where im about to pluck, it opens the pores.
