Hey ladies, so I always pluck my own eyebrows and occasionally my aunt-Who is a beautician- waxes them, not often. Anyways, when I pluck under my arch on my right eyebrow, the same couple of areas bleed a bit. Not much, just a prick, and it doesn't hurt bit is it anything to be worried about? Thanks girls!

There just sensitive , put baby oil in it before you pluck , it will hurt less

Or try plucking after you shower hot water opens pores less damage when you pull them out

hot towel to open your pores and a great vanity mirror. If you use a little mirror with a hot face it'll fog etc. etc. and defeat the entire purpose. It's a total mission but worth it.

And does anyone know about ice? Like if it dulls the pain?

No. Of course ice will numb it for a while but it will tighten the pore making it more painful/harder to pluck.

make sure u pull the skin tight and pull hairs in the same direction as hair growth :)

You bleed because you ruined the hair follicle that the specific hair rested in. It's a good thing in disguise because if you ruined the hair follicle, it won't grow back.

I agree, after the shower will soften the hair follicles and up make them easier to remove if you're still having a little trouble you can gently moisturize the area and that should help
