Flake coming off when plucking eyebrows?

Question

Whenever i pluck my eyebrows (I've plucked my eyebrows for years now) there's this dry skin that flakes off and then turns into this big red patch where i plucked. is this normal?

please answer,

thankyou!

Answer 1

It sounds like you should exfoliate your skin. You can get face scrubs at the drug store. Everyone gets redness from plucking, that's normal. You can put ice on the area before and after plucking to numb it and reduce the swelling. The skin is probably just from the need to exfoliate, it happens to me if I don't.  

Answer 2

get the papaya scrub from bee luscious! it will exfoliate and dissolve dead skin. the moisturize with a good oil free moisturizer. again i use the hydrating creme concentrate from bee luscious but you can get a different one if you like just make sure it is oil free. just make sure to get the papaya scrub. i would also get the papaya foam wash and stop using regular soap. bar soaps should only be used on your hands. it is way too harsh for your body and face.

Answer 3

The same thing happens to me every time I pluck mine. It's sort of senstive to the touch, too. What I do is take a dab of Jergens original lotion and rub it on the spots of dry skin, and this seems to help a little...or at least stop the flaking. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

its prob a combo of dry skin then your irritating it more by plucking it.

happens to me! my brows are swollen and red right now

Answer 5

It's dry skin.

Get a moisturizer that is very strong.

It might cost a little more, but - well worth it.

I have the same problem.
