Eyebrow Waxing Aftermath : Super Itchy Red Bumps All Over? =/ Please Help!

[Guest Namine]

And no, it's not my first time waxing!

I went to this place called Merle Norman to get my eyebrows waxed.

This was not my first time, but it was first time with this certain lady...

And I don't know why, but a few days afterwards, it is now all itchy+bumpy, almost like pimples, but not.

Can anyone help me ?

What is this , and what can I do to help my skin get better ? =[

It's all itchy, and red. TT_TT

I've never had a reaction like this before T-T...

I am so gonna force them to pluck it next time.

It's so stupid, in my city, nowhere offers plucking lol.

[Guest kimik0]

ouchhh .

maybe it was the wax they used ?

or the way she waxed them.

put some aloe gel on it ( :

hope it gets better .

I second that.

Or get an aloe plant and use that.

If it was a diff lady perhaps the wax she used was a tad different?

[Guest f0reveralways]

sometimes when i get my legs waxed i get red bumps on them. but its kind of immediately afterward and disappears in a few days (not the other away around, like in your case )

but yeah, i agree with kimik0, put some aloe vera gel on it. haha

[Guest gsdjuuri]

I always get that whenever I'm done waxing or threading.

I get mad wondering why it happens.

[Guest はんなり豆腐]

i got that too when i got my eyebrows waxed for the first time. but they just went away by themselves in under a week

[ageha]

Everytime I pluck my eyebrows I safeguard against the little bumps by either using Aloe vera gel (or fresh aloe vera goo from a plant) or rub benzoyl peroxide around my eyebrows.

I always also make sure that I have a clean face before the plucking/waxing starts. I know it's not ideal if you're going out to get them waxed, but I dunno, try to use a cleansing wipe first?

[Guest gingerpye]

allergic reaction to the wax?

my friend got that before.

[Guest missM.]

it happens to me all the time.

i use aloe vera gel afterward. helps a bit.

[Guest Siv]

It use to happen to me every time they waxed my brows too.

I think it's just irritation, it usually goes away in a few short days--

try not to itch it because that will worsen it. hydrocortisone helps,

or like others mentioned aloe vera.

[Guest Soapopolous]

She probably took off some of the skin when she waxed it, so she probably did it wrong. If its never happened to you before when you've gotten them waxed I highly doubt it's an allergic reaction. Also if you're on certain birth control or vitamin a supplements it'll thin out the skin and it'll cause the skin to get ripped off when getting waxed, so if you are taking it make sure you tell the waxer BEFORE.

Use aloe vera to help your skin calm down, but use a hot towel and let it sit on your eyebrows to soothe it as well.

[Guest honeybeat44]

maybe you should get your

eyebrows threaded it still hurts

but not as much as waxing and

doesn't cause a lot of irritation

[Guest Meenuh]

Wow .. it looks like your skin is irritated. I agree with everyone else. Put some aloe vera on it or maybe green tea. They both promote healing and aloe vera is good for soothing your skin.

[Guest af.726]

that's never good. agree with what people here are saying. probably mechanical error while the lady was doing it (diff. wax? improper waxing?)

usually people's eyebrows get a little red RIGHT after they wax, not a few days.

Tee tree oil might help (it's what the waxing lady offers me after I get mine done). but aloe might be better for your case.

[Guest noodles_love]

my sister had the same problem when my mom waxed our eyebrows...

it went away after a week for her but the weird thing is that it didnt happen to me

and we got it done at the same time 0.o

maybe its the wax the lady used on you idk....

[Guest dianalikesbutts]

that happened to me, my mom put on this aloe cream thing

and after a couple hours it went away

[Guest yei488]

it looks like an allergic reaction to me...
