Everytime I tweeze my eyebrows I can't stop sneezing. does this happen to anybody else? or does anyone know why it happens?

Nope doesn't happen to me.. The facial nerves include the trigeminal, which has a branch that extends from the brow down into the tip of the nose. Sometimes, when plucking your eyebrows, that nerve is stimulated ahhchoo.. Bottom line: You may be able to avoid sneezing by pressing your finger anywhere against your eyebrow as you tweeze, which, according to Dr. Boxrud, can short-circuit the wiring of the trigeminal nerve.

That happens to my best friend! I think when she looked into it it had to do with where your sinus' are located

This happens to me also! I get them threaded and the sneezing sensation is so intense I probably make the funniest faces. But I'm assuming its normal probably because its so close to the nose and eyes.
