Everytime I get my brows waxed I break out!! Does this happen to you, what should I do? If I don't tame the brows they look terrible! HELP!!

My guess is either you're allergic to the wax or bacteria is getting in where the hair was. Try this: clean your face really well before you wax. After that get all the wax off with baby oil. Get the baby oil off and apply vitamin e oil and aloe vera gel (like the kind you use after a sun burn). Wait until it stops hurting and isn't red then wash that off. See what happens. I had the same problem and this worked for me. I also wax my own brows so its easier for me to control what kind of wax I use.

Make sure your pores don't get clogged after waxing, and sometimes I don't put any product on after I wax, which always helps.

I used to! Turned out my eyebrow woman was putting lotion on it to soothe and that was making me break out. So I told her and she started putting a bit of hydrocortisone on them instead! I also just go home and wash my face. Usually that works perfectly!
