I got my eyebrows waxed for the second time,?

Question

and I have a lot of bumps around them the second time hurt a lot more, and I didn't get bumps the first time.

why is this?

Can it still be an allergic reaction?

Why didn't I get it the first time if it is?

Answer 1

The wax was probably either too hot or it was placed on too thick, but the bumps will go away. I had a lady take off a layer of my skin once. Sometimes when people go to the nail shop or places like that to get their eyebrows waxed that happens. Next time make sure you are going to a licensed esthetician who specializes in skin and eyebrows.

Answer 2

did u put lotion on it this time? also, DON'T TOUCH. your oily skin can make bumps. if it itches or hurts, put an ice cube on it. works great. good luck next time.

Answer 3

I had the same problem! It is most likely because I use facewash with acne treatment in it (acne free). Most face wash DOES have acne treatment in it. Either that or it's just because my skin is really sensitive. the bumps and reddness stick around for a few days, or at least did for me. I couldn't tell you why you only got it the second time and not the first..did you have the same person wax them? Maybe it was the kind of wax they used..no clue. All I know is I pretty much never even want to TRY to get my eyebrows waxed again because of the reddness and bumps, they were itchy and looked terrible against my really pale complexion.
