In a video on her TikTok page, she showed how she used a Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm as her tweezers instead.
"I did not pack tweezers and I have a nice black chin hair that apparently grew overnight," she began, pointing out the unwelcome visitor on her chin.
She then uncapped the lip balm, before getting the hair in between the case of the product and the lid.
As she did so carefully - to avoid giving herself a "blood blister" - Jenna managed to catch the hair, before closing the cap tight.

The hack meant she was then able to effectively pluck the hair right out in one go.
In the caption for the video, Jenna said that the method hasn't "failed me yet".
"Life hack for when you don't have tweezers..." she added.
"Use your @Maybelline NY baby lips lipstick.

"Chin hairs don't stand a chance around here!"
The comments section was almost immediately filled with people thanking Jenna for sharing the hack.
I was so unrecognisable after excruciating facial treatment that my daughter banned me from doing the school run
"I would never have the confidence to post this hack," one admitted.
"I'm jealous that you are so hot and cool and did this effortlessly for the internet to see, but also I'm so grateful you changed my life !"

Biggest skincare trends for 2025
Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.
1. Exosomes
Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions -
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.
"Stop it! Flipping genius. Thanks mama!" someone else gushed.
While another called Jenna an "angel of my life", and added: "I will think of you and send you blessings every time I have to emergency pluck a chin hair for the rest of my life!"
"Definitely gonna get caught doing this in my cubicle now, so thank you in advance," someone else laughed.
Meanwhile, others used the comments section to share the other inventive ways they have managed to remove their unwanted facial hair without tweezers.

"I use the hinge on my glasses," one wrote.
"Harder to do, but I have used two coins before," another said.
"I once plucked my girlfriend's chin hair with my teeth!" a third admitted.
