I waxed inbetween my eyebrows probably about 4-5 weeks ago and I've been left with small dry bumps where I waxed. I've moisturized them but they won't budge!
Even with makeup on they look horrid (as in photo)!

It's really not best to put makeup over it if you want it to heal. Try steaming your face with green tea then applying coconut oil then close your pores with some ice wrapped in a paper towel. Might help but it might not cause I haven't dealt with that before, give it a try though. Goodluck! :)

Try not to wear makeup for as long as you can, and use benzoyl peroxide gel to clear them up. Or just put some face wash on your face, let it dry and then wash it off after like 20 minutes. That should help. Also this happens to my friend everytime she waxes her eyebrows so she gets them threaded instead. It hurts more but it's worth it. I recommend you try that. Good luck!
