Eyebrow Bumps

[mac-whore]

Hm, I'm starting to wonder why it is that in the area i usually pluck my brows i have noticed some clogged pores and/or bumps appearing periodically? It seems like i get a pimple on eyelid and I hate it. Any suggestions??

i get the same thing periodically. i just use a qtip soaked in acv to take the sting out. sometimes it takes a couple of days to feel better. it is a problem.

This happens to me to. It's generally always in the same spot on my left eyebrow. I'm starting to think it's a damaged follicle... I have no idea! It's only one bump/pimple in the same place, and it happens every few weeks. Does anyone else ever have their eyebrows actually start to "hurt" when it's time to pluck them? This also happens to me... No idea why, but it's normally in the same spot as that bump come to think of it... Hmmmm...

i have one damaged follicle/pore in my eye brow that gets congested.

sometimes i'll get pimples on the side of my brows because when i pluck the hairs there, they're thick, so the kind of get ingrown when they come back and give little pimples

It might be the way you are plucking them, u should only pluck them the way the hair is growing, pulling other ways can cause bleeding and it will hurt more. I dunno what else to suggest.

I always get tiny whiteheads after using an eye cream they really clog up the pores on my eyes. I've noticed too that I can see the eyebrow hair growing back - it looks like a blackhead so I try to squeeze it and obviously nothing comes out lol! Does anyone else notice this? Or am I just a weirdo?!

Hi,

Generally people do not prep the area before tweezing. After cleansing, the pores in the area to be tweezed must be expanded/opened. To do this, try using a facial steamer or hot compresses. You can even go in your bathroom and turn on the hot water in your shower. When it gets good and steamy in the bathroom, stand in there for a few moments. After a few minutes, you should be ready to tweeze. When tweezing the hair, be sure to pull in the direction of the hair growth.

Have you used any new products, lately (i.e., eyebrow gels, pencils, etc.)?

If your eye cream is clogging I would try to find a non mineral oil based eye cream. Not to sure on England brands. I have a salon owner who complained a few weeks back of the same thing and I gave her a sample of our Intellegence line eye cream and she loved it. She has had no problems since.

Have any of you tried a masque on your eye brow areas? We used to have a great one that pulled but our company is getting ready to go global so they made some changes and we no longer have regular masque.

I think the post hear on heat and steam is great. I think that would help alot, maybe cleanse the area afterward with some witch hazel.

i get them there too on occasion. sometimes i think that it's from plucking, because sometimes i struggle to get the hairs out a little..lol. and then sometimes i just think it's an awkward pimple clogged from foundation, moisturizer, etc...i don't know what to reccomend, but if it happens often, bring it up to your derm.

I get this too, but usually it's when I pinch myself with the tweezers when trying to get hard to pluck hairs out, which is usually too often.

I get bumps/pimples on my right browbone occassionally, and it's so annoying. I just try to make sure I wash the area well, and smooth a gentle kaolin clay mask on the spot overnight every night until it's gone. Usually it'll clear up in a couple of days, but then I have to deal with the dark little spot that's left behind. I'll get that no matter what, for the tiniest breakout. Ugh.

Try getting a new tweezer or cleaning your current tweezer with alcohol or alcohol gel.

 

[michko970]

I get the exact same thing and it is so annoying! I try to prevent it my cleaning my tweezers before I pluck with alcohol and swipping toner on over eyebrow area before and after plucking. Also wait about 30 before applying makeup to the area. Hope this helps.

 

[Brownshugaz]

good idea with the steaming!

:g:

 

[PerfectMistake]

Hope it get it all figured out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I always tweeze right after taking a hot shower and don't have any problem.
