THERE'S nothing more relaxing than slathering on a face mask at the end of a long hard day. Right?

Well one American mum has had a truly traumatic experience she applied a peel-off mask directly onto her eyebrows... and was left with no choice but to rip them off herself.

Not realising that the instructions recommend avoiding all "hair", the Texas mum slathered her entire face in the deep cleansing mask.

But in a traumatic turn if events, the woman only realised her game-changing oversight when it was already too late.

Uploading the hilarious video montage to , the Texas woman's daughter Nikki captured the moment the realisation dawned on her mother right up to the point where she has to effectively rip off her own eyebrows on video.

In a montage which has been viewed over 2.5 million times, it's safe to say that this Twitter thread is a total emotional roller coaster.

 The peeling process is just as painful to watch

Because you can't help but laugh when the mum realises that she's going to be a "bald b****".

And we lived vicariously through her her pain as she slowly but surely starts peeling the mask off her forehead and asks for "water".

Seriously, it's as painful as those pimple-popping videos.

 It goes without saying that this is NOT a good look

On the bright side, the Texas mum definitely sees the humour in her beauty mishap and is left in fits of hysterics when her eyebrows do eventually come off.

And one Twitter user helpfully pointed out that "at least her skin looks soft."

We should hope so too.

Moral of the story? ALWAYS read the instructions on a peel-off mask.

For even more beauty horror stories, this horrifed beauty fanatic has turned herself GREEN after using too much fake tan.

From terrible tanning to incredible eyebrow fails, these are the biggest beauty blunders of all time.

And this is the genius make-up tip that will stop you ever getting lipstick on your teeth again.
