Re: If you have your eyebrows waxed-

I do no get them, but my mother does. The make-up artist i used for my wedding (Oksana) told my Mom not to use the lotion they put on afterwards. She said it aggravates your hair follicles, and that's what causes the bumps.

tell the lady not to put the lotion on afterward - it is probably causing a reaction.

Re: If you have your eyebrows waxed-

i can't get my eyebrows waxed anymore because of this. I can't stand those little pimples and the irritation. I would rather pluck everyday!!

I used to sometimes get bumps, but the redness after the waxing was my biggest issue. that's why I hardly ever go anymore. I pluck them myself... even though it looks nicer when they're waxed.

Re: If you have your eyebrows waxed-

yeah - i do my own plucking most of the time but every few months i like to start fresh with a waxing.

looks like i'll forego the lotion. and there i was asking the woman to put MORE on, because i thought it would prevent those bumps! Chat Icon

I get the bumps all the time. I use astringent after the waxing, it helps.

I used to, but now they make sure the wax is a little cooler and it doesnt happen anymore. Also, I wash my face as soon as I get home.

Re: If you have your eyebrows waxed-

I got them, also. Plus the redness. Now I get them threaded, what a difference. It's great!

Re: If you have your eyebrows waxed-

I never get the bumps, but then again, I never use the lotion!

I bring my own baby oil, and they use that instead. They also use sensitive skin wax on me, because my skin is so tempermental!

I stopped waxing, b/c of the bumps and irritation. Now I just get tweezed.

I used to get them when I got waxed but now I get my eyebrows threaded and I never have had that problem since than.

Re: If you have your eyebrows waxed-

Yup, threading was much easier on the after-effects for me. But I was exhausted after that ordeal. The pain made my toes curl.

Although I loved how it looked, I'm afraid to go back so I tweeze daily. Chat Icon

The pain is not so bad, believe me, I'm sure you've been through much worse. And if you find a good one, its over in 2 minutes.

I didn't think it was bad at all. If you get waxed, then you can deal with threading.

I don't do threading because I start getting claustrophobia with the woman over me for that long. At least with the wax they are back and forth to the wax container.
