Itchy!
 
Hi!

I dont know where this thread belongs, the nearest thing would probably be first aid, but its not first aidy really D:

I usually get my eye brows threaded but because I havent had a chance to get them done at home for a while I had super bush man eyebrows. (Perils of liking thick eyebrows.) So I tweezed them. They went a bit red but that went away but now the skin all around where Ive tweezed is so so so itchy.

Ive tried a cold water compress and used a make up wipe to try and soothe it but nothing is working. I want to scratch my eyebrows off right now D:

How do I fix this?!x

Try aloe vera gel/cream if you can get any.

Sometimes though adding more stuff just makes it more itchy, hopefully if you try and ignore it then it will stop soon!

I havent got anything like that, I could go out tomorrow and get some, its driving me crazy!x

I would also echo aloe Vera gel. Or a cold cream. If its stinging a bit, I found germoline to soothe it a little as it has a local anaesthetic in it.

Try alot of moisturiser is well.

Put teaspoons in the freezer for a while then take out and hold against eyebrow.
Caution: do not get a cold burn.

The spoon worked! Also I think going to sleep and leaving it alone may have helped, yay!x

I get mine waxed and afterwards the lady wipes tea tree oil over them, perhaps that would work as well as the frozen spoon.

Silly question but what is getting eye brows threaded? I'm not up with these things haha.

I've always heard an aspirin crushed in a little bit of water to form a paste is a good way to lessen swelling, redness and bruising in these kinds of situations.
