There are two ways to grow eyebrows and eyelashes: using ready-made cosmetic preparations or at home, using folk recipes... But both options do not guarantee instant results. It is worth showing restraint, and also strictly follow all the recommendations. But first, let's find out the reasons for the growth of eyebrows and eyelashes.

Many factors affect the health of eyelashes and eyebrows, but only a few of them can be influenced

Quite a few factors influence, consider the most common:

• Frequent staining slows down and stops hair growth, and the dye can change their structure.
• Poor makeup removal. The remains of cosmetics on the eyebrows and eyelashes are a reason for fragility and loss.
• Incorrect plucking usually results in improper growth.
• Genetic predisposition - if a family can boast of thick eyebrows and eyelashes, then there is a high probability that you will become their "carrier".
• Hormonal disruptions in the body lead to hair loss, including on the head. Thyroid hormones are responsible for their growth, so in such cases it is worth going to a doctor for examination.
• Improper diet, alcohol consumption, smoking can cause a hair loss reaction. By adhering to a healthy daily regimen, you can preserve and increase natural data.
• Stress - noticeably weaken the hair follicles. Nervous tension, sleepless nights, work without rest also carry a negative factor for hair growth.
• Unprofessional approach. You turned to specialists for help, but they performed poorly on the care of eyebrows or eyelashes (coloring or laser correction). The result is long-term recovery and anticipation of new hair growth.
• Weather conditions, oddly enough, also lead to a deterioration in the appearance of eyebrows and eyelashes. Cold wind, scorching sun can do their damage to the beauty of hair.

Despite the above conditions, eyebrows and eyelashes can be grown if there is a great desire. The main thing is patience.

The power of oils for eyebrow and eyelash health

There is another method available for treating eyebrows and eyelashes at home. Oils that are sold at the pharmacy will help with this. They are not expensive, but very effective.

Castor oil is a well-known hair cosmetic product for a long time. It is extracted from castor bean seeds and has unique properties:

• Promotes hair growth.
• Nourishes hair follicles.

• Stimulates growth.
• Strengthens the structure.

Usma oil is not common, but no less effective oil. Few people know about its existence, but in terms of composition and medicinal properties it is in no way inferior to its "brothers".

In addition, the following oils can stimulate the growth of eyebrows and eyelashes:

• avocado;
• jojoba;
• lavender;
• grape seed oil;
• lemon.

Oil technique

It is important to follow the technique of applying oils, which in itself contributes to the attachment of eyebrows and eyelashes.

It is important to combine the application of any oil with an eyebrow and eyelash massage. By improving circulation and allowing the oil to be absorbed well, you will improve the effect of the treatment.

The massage is carried out in a special direction: from the nose to the ears. Light pinches, circular rotations, or moderate pressing are acceptable.

A few drops of oil will be enough, it is recommended to rub in for a few minutes. The oil applicator can be a toothbrush, used mascara brush, or a special tool.

If such devices are not available, ordinary ear sticks can be used. An unnecessary tube of mascara can be used as a container for oil, rinse it well with water first.

A few important points:

1. The healing session is best done at bedtime.
2. In the morning, the oil must be thoroughly washed off.
3. For a quick and effective effect, you can apply the oil twice a day.

By including some foods in your diet, you can significantly improve the condition of your hair.

Many people ignore this aspect, but sometimes it becomes key. Food is reflected in our appearance, beauty, health. Therefore, adhering to simple rules and having excluded junk food from the usual diet, you can safely count on one more step towards beautiful eyebrows and eyelashes.

Some diets are aimed at promoting hair growth and strengthening. But they can deprive the body of other equally important nutrients. Therefore, simply expand and diversify the menu as follows:

• Eat more vegetables and fruits.
• Dairy and fermented milk products, because calcium is the main source of hair beauty. In addition, it will be possible to strengthen both nails and teeth.
• Fish and meat are valuable proteins for the normal functioning of the body.
• Taking multivitamins (especially during the spring-autumn season).

Eyebrow and eyelash masks

Girls know that beauty is the result of painstaking daily work, constant self-care. And it is not only the body and skin that need it. Eyebrow and eyelash care is an important part of creating an irresistible look. Many beauty salons offer special cosmetic procedures, and meanwhile, it remains important to comply with the rules of everyday care.

Fundamental rules

The right hair care is essential to give your look a bold look. It should be complex and multi-stage. The basic steps are very similar to the steps in facial care:

• Purification. Always wash off makeup before bed, skin should breathe, and lashes should take a break from mascara overnight. It is also important to wash your face in the morning. During the night, the sebaceous glands work, secreting sebum, which clogs the pores. Also dust and small particles remain on the skin and hairs.

• Nutrition. Don't forget that your eyelashes and eyebrows need extra care. Feed them with natural remedies, such as linseed oil, castor oil, or burdock oil.

• Massage. Get in the habit of brushing your hair before bed. For the cilia, this will serve as a massage, blood microcirculation will improve and they will become stronger. For eyebrows, brushing can be varied by light tingling and vibration.

Of course, these are all general rules, but they allow you to see that caring for eyebrows and eyelashes at home will not take you much time, but it will give you a quick result.

Proper eyebrow care

Today, the fashion says that the eyebrows should be beautiful and wide, have a well-groomed appearance, be velvety and thick. But how to achieve all this without resorting to tattooing?

It turns out that depending on how you care for your eyebrows, their length and density depend. But if everything has already been said about their effect on beauty, then the fact that eyebrows perform an important protective function is often forgotten. Meanwhile, they are designed to protect the eyes from dust and sweat from the forehead.

The condition of the eyebrows can depend on health, age, season and, of course, on the care of them.

To make the hairs thick and beautiful, cosmetologists recommend adhering to the following rules:

• Brush them every day with a special brush, brushing it along the brow line.
• After washing your face, apply nourishing oils to your brows, followed by a gentle massage. Movements should go from the bridge of the nose to the "tails" of the eyebrows. In this case, you can perform pinching, pressing or vibrating movements.
• Take care when applying makeup. Eyebrows are often stained, use only proven ones cosmetical tools, don't take too much bright colors, they will not only spoil appearance eyebrows, but will also negatively affect their health.

• Do not use cosmetics immediately after correction, if the skin is red or inflamed, then let it heal. Compresses can be used to speed up the process.
• Be careful with the tools you use. The tweezers should be disinfected and the brushing brush washed well.

Advice! If you don't have a special brush at hand, then you can use a regular toothbrush or mascara brush.

• Pamper your eyebrows every 3-4 days nourishing masks... They will be most effective after peeling.

I must say that there are a lot of recipes for masks, you can use the already named oils in their pure form, or you can make eyebrow care products with your own hands.

Mask recipes

If you think that thick and well-groomed eyebrows are expensive, then you are greatly mistaken. After all, the price of one bottle of castor oil is about 40 rubles. Further, depending on your desire and capabilities, you can try the following recipes.

Oil based

Add rum or cognac to the butter in a 1: 1 ratio, apply the mixture on the eyebrows for half an hour, and then rinse with warm water. If you do such a mask every other day, then in a month you will be able to evaluate the result.

In equal proportions, mix flaxseed, castor and camphor oils, heat the mixture in a water bath and apply to the eyebrows. This is a real vitamin "bomb" for hairs.

For thicker hair, mix a couple of spoons olive oil, a liquid capsule of vitamin A, a little burdock and grape seed oil. This mask should be left overnight.

Mix a teaspoon of castor oil, orange and pumpkin ether. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes and then wash off with water.

Important! It is better not to leave oils in their pure form overnight; in the morning, swelling under the eyes may appear.

With hair loss

Dissolve the pressed yeast with warm water, let it brew for half an hour, you should get a creamy mass. Now add a tablespoon of brandy and honey to it, beat in one yolk. The duration of the procedure is 30 minutes.

Dissolve 30 g of mustard powder with warm water until the consistency of sour cream, add one yolk, any suitable oil and a little honey.

Grind one onion in a meat grinder or blender, squeeze the juice out of the gruel. Mix it with castor oil, calendula (15 ml each), honey and cognac (10 ml each). Keep the mixture on your brows for 20-30 minutes.

Vitamin masks

Mix 1 tablespoon of carrot juice with one ampoule of liquid retinol. Soak cotton pads in the solution, and then use a patch to attach them to your eyebrows. You need to spend the whole night with such a compress.

If you do not want to engage in self-preparation of masks, then you can contact the manufacturers of cosmetics.

Tips to help you choose home remedy to strengthen and grow eyebrows and eyelashes:

Popular eyebrow care products

Most often, such remedies are designed to accelerate hair growth, since it is thanks to this quality that density appears. Many brands produce similar products, consider a few of the most popular examples.

• The French-made Talika firm is well-known. Means "Eyebrow Lipocils Expert" promises to make eyebrows thick in 4 weeks, but one tube will cost more than 2000 rubles.

• The remedy from the Alerana brand is sold in pharmacies. The tube has two complexes "daytime" and "nighttime" at once. Please note that the product also has contraindications, so read the instructions before buying. The average cost of a bottle is 700 rubles.

• One of the most budgetary funds is called "Relouis". The gel effectively cares for the eyebrows, while it costs only 200-250 rubles.

When the issue with the eyebrows is resolved, you can move on to the topic of eyelash care.

Correct eyelash care

Like any other care, eyelash care should first of all be regular, because express restoration procedures have too short-term results. The same applies to rare procedures. If they give a result, then only for a while.

The basic rules have already been listed, you can supplement them with the following points:

• Choose high-quality mascara, this indicator not only affects the beauty of the eyelashes, but also the health of your eyes.

• An open tube of mascara can be used for no more than 3-4 months.
• Do not thin the mascara.
• If there are several women in your family, then remember that each should have their own mascara brush.
• Use supplemental care and nutrition products.

Home remedies to strengthen and grow eyelashes

You can take care of your eyelashes correctly without extra costs... The main thing is to know which tools from a home first aid kit or even a refrigerator can be used.

Oils

Just as with eyebrows, eyelashes respond well to oils. Castor will give them density, and burdock will stimulate their growth. Sea buckthorn oil will cope with brittleness and dryness, while olive oil will retain its color and make it soft.

Can be applied individually or mixed in different proportions to achieve the desired result. For example, the following recipe is suitable for eyelash growth. Mix burdock, flaxseed and castor oil in equal proportions. It is best to take one teaspoon at a time. Add the same amount of carrot juice and mix well. Soak a cotton ball in the solution, and then apply it to your eyelids for 20 minutes.

Vitamin masks

One of the most popular recipes is an aloe-based mask. Take a little aloe extract, 7 ml is enough, add the same amount of olive oil, then chop 5-7 parsley leaves. Mix everything, and then heat in a water bath to 40 degrees. It is important that such a mask is applied not to the hairs, but to the skin in the place of their growth. This is done because parsley juice can discolor eyelashes.

Take 30 ml almond oil and 15 ml of fresh lemon juice. Mix everything and apply with a brush to lashes. After 7 minutes, the mask can be washed off. This recipe is great for morning care, as citric acid removes puffiness from the eyes, giving them a fresh look.

For eyelashes, vitamins such as A and E are very important, they can also be used for masks. Mix 7 ml of fish oil and the same amount of "Aevit" (it is sold in every pharmacy). The mixture should be kept in front of your eyes for two hours, then you can wash it off with warm water.

Firming masks

Not all girls like to use oils because of their fat content. Herbs are an excellent alternative to them. Decoctions and infusions not only strengthen the hairs, but also give the skin a feeling of freshness, give the eyes a healthy look.

Sage, cornflower, calendula and chamomile will help strengthen the bulbs. Any of these herbs can be poured with boiling water and infused for several hours, then a similar remedy is used in the form of compresses. Regular use of these will have a visible effect in a couple of weeks.

Black tea is also great for strengthening eyelashes. Mix the strong tea leaves with any suitable oil in equal proportions. The eyelashes will not only become stronger, but also blacker.

If you still do not trust folk remedies, then we suggest that you consider the following cosmetic products.

Popular eyelash products

Almost all manufacturers of such cosmetics focus on the growth and strengthening of eyelashes. Thanks to ingredients such as keratin, minerals, arginine and vitamin P, they create effective gels. Let's consider a few examples of such products.

• Means for the growth and strengthening of eyelashes "Careprost" is one of the most popular among this category of products. Most reviews speak of its effectiveness, the price of the product is average and varies around 800 rubles. However, you need to pay attention to contraindications, the remedy is not suitable for everyone.

• Oriflame Eyelash Conditioner is designed not only to accelerate growth, but also to protect eyelashes from harmful external influences. The gel contains biotin, vitamin B5, liposomes, all of which strengthen the hairs. The cost is 330 rubles.

• An expensive but effective product is marketed under the brand name "Almea XLash". The product is presented in the form of a serum, suitable for sensitive skin, gives visible results 20 days after the start of use. The cost of one bottle is 2700 rubles.

As you can see, any cosmetics have expensive and cheap lines, and if you want to save money, you can always turn to folk wisdom. The main thing to remember is that eyelashes and eyebrows need care, just like hair. Do not deprive them of attention, then they will reciprocate you.

Sometimes the right eyebrows are not enough for the perfect look. Girls generally tend to doubt their beauty: either the shape, or the color, or the density is not the same, or there is no symmetry. Of course, cosmetologists are happy to offer you procedures for improvement by advertising their services. And we are already running to sign up for Permanent makeup, biotattoo, staining or microblading, and then we sigh ... Anyway, something is wrong - color, shape, duration, master ...

If you do not want to go to the salon, you are afraid to entrust your face to an unfamiliar person, then you can always turn to safe methods - easy and affordable. Such procedures and care do not require special knowledge and skills, there are practically no contraindications. There is only one nuance: you need to wait, but the time and effort spent is invested in your appearance. How?

Some experiments with appearance go sideways: the use of inexpensive or low-quality paint, excessive plucking can ruin beautiful eyebrows for a long time. And there are other troubles due to which the hairs can become pale or noticeably thinner:

• avitaminosis;
• serious chronic diseases affecting the growth of hair, eyelashes and eyebrows;
• low-quality cosmetics;
• poor skin cleansing from makeup;
• wounds and scars on the eyebrow line resulting from trauma, deep infections or inflammation in this area.

Hair can become sparse, thin and light due to poor nutrition, lack of micronutrients. And if the healing process went wrong, then the hair follicles may simply disappear in the scar zone.

Why is excessive plucking bad?

Ultra-thin eyebrow strings were once in vogue. They could be a small house, tossing, but they must be thin and raised high. To do this, mothers and grandmothers plucked out everything unnecessary with tweezers, leaving a pathetic strip no thicker than a couple of millimeters from the original eyebrow.

Many young girls follow their example, focusing on fashionable photos of shocking characters. At the same time, the features of the structure of the face and the growth of the hairs themselves are rarely taken into account.

According to the law of meanness, those hairs that we have already plucked become thinner, begin to grow in the wrong direction. And such growth cannot be corrected, all that remains is to grow eyebrows ...

How to get your eyebrows back?

It takes time, patience, consistency, and some natural products to make eyebrows grow.

By the way, it will take several minutes a day (no more than drawing eyebrows with a pencil), and the effect can be seen in 1.5-2 months.

Eyebrows grow more slowly than eyelashes, because the skin layers in this area are somewhat thicker, and the protection of sebaceous secretions from the penetration of external agents is higher.

Therefore, the usual pharmaceutical tubes with generics do not work or give less effect. For this reason, their manufacturers do not make direct recommendations for use on the eyebrows.

Precautionary measures:

• All procedures are performed on cleansed and healthy skin.
• There are no contraindications, except for an extremely rare allergy to a specific component.
• The effect will not be in case of long-term and chronic illness, impaired metabolism. If hair loss on the eyebrows is a symptom of the disease, then improvement will come only after recovery or remission.
• You should not do the procedure if there are wounds on the skin, inflammation or infectious processes. Masks and oils, massage can increase blood flow and intensify painful reactions.

Vegetable and aromatic oils

Castor oil is considered the best oil for growing hairs. You can use rose oil, almond oil, olive oil (it is heavy), sometimes jojoba is recommended.

Why oils? They accelerate the metabolism, saturate with microelements and accelerate the growth of hairs, making them thicker and stronger, even a little darker.

Usually, you need to store the oil in the refrigerator, warm it to room temperature before use, and then apply along the hairline to cleansed skin.

The procedure is best done in the evening, you can leave it overnight or at least for an hour. Makeup can be worse for oily skin with oil, so in the morning you must definitely cleanse and tone the skin.

For the procedure, you can use only castor oil or burdock, you can mix in equal proportions and store the mixture in a bottle. Apply with a special brush, mascara brush or just a cotton swab. Consumption will be economical, one pharmacy bottle is enough for a long time.

For active growth of eyebrows, it is better to do courses lasting 1-2 months in autumn and spring, and then “rest”. If oil masks applied for prophylaxis, then once every 1-2 weeks will be enough. If desired, you can use oils all year round.

Delicate movements

Massage improves blood circulation, relieves puffiness. With light movements of the middle and index fingers, move from the head to the tail of the eyebrows. Start with stroking, do a light massage, pinch your skin a little, and then finish with barely rubbing and stroking.

Duration - 1-2 minutes every day for at least 1 month.

There is a lazy massage method - combing. Equip yourself with a fine-toothed comb or brow brush. Comb gently along the growth line and against each eyebrow. Repeat 2-3 times.

As a bonus, you can get a reduction in dark circles under the eyes, swelling and, less often, suffer from migraines.

Growth activation masks

Not everyone can do them often (every day for a month). But 1-2 times a week to allocate a little time for this lesson is a feasible task.

Liquid vitamins A and E(or immediately aevit), crush (1 capsule each) and mix with vegetable oil (1 teaspoon). For such a base, castor, burdock, almond, pink, olive and even sunflower will do. With cotton wool or a brush, apply to clean eyebrows. To enhance the effect, you can make a compress with cotton swabs soaked in oil for half an hour, then remove the remnants with a napkin or cotton pad.

Camphor oil mix instead of vitamins (2-3 drops per 1 teaspoon of oil) and leave on the problem area in the form of a compress for about half an hour.

Grated fresh carrots(1 tablespoon) can be mixed with the same oils, the gruel is kept on the brow arch for 15-25 minutes. Caution: Carrot juice can stain your skin!

Honey with burdock oil (a teaspoon of each). Ingredients should be warm or at room temperature. Spread the mixture on the skin of the eyebrows, rinse with warm water after 20-25 minutes.

Attention: honey must not be overheated!

Favorite means for hair growth - pepper tincture - is not suitable for eyebrows. Therefore, it was recommended to take a milder remedy - tincture of calendula (sage or chamomile) on vodka.

For home preparation, 1 part of the flowers required 10 parts of vodka, the mixture was kept for a couple of weeks in a dark place. Before using on the skin, this composition is diluted in half with water (take ½ teaspoon each). Cotton swabs, gauze are soaked and applied to the arcs. The compress is kept for 1 hour every day or every other day for a month.

Even in the books of grandmothers, you can find advice about homemade cream: the lanolin composition (50 ml) must be mixed with vitamins A and E (30 and 15 drops, respectively) and 1 teaspoon of oil (castor or burdock). Mix thoroughly, store in a dark and cold place, apply on eyebrows every evening for a couple of months. Lanolin oil nourishes and moisturizes the skin, facilitating the penetration of active substances.

Women's eyes, eyelashes, the shape of the eyebrows are sung by poets. And it is no coincidence that this is an important "weapon" in the art of captivating the stronger sex ... Therefore, a conversation about how to maintain "combat readiness", what kind of care is required for eyelashes and eyebrows will not be superfluous.

Eyelashes and eyebrows perform an essential function:
they protect the eyes from foreign particles. Hair consists of 3% moisture and 97% of a protein substance - keratin. The part of the hair that is freely located under the skin is called the shaft, and the part hidden in the thickness of the skin is called the root. The root ends with an extension - a hair follicle. Hair growth occurs in the bulb. The hair shaft consists of three layers: the hair core is called the medulla, it contains keratinized cells. The medulla at the ends of the eyelash and eyebrow hair is absent. The main mass is the cortical substance: elongated and tightly adjacent cells containing pigment - a dye. The pigment can be red, yellow and black, and the combination of colors gives an individual color for eyelashes and eyebrows.

Hair Growth cyclical and uneven. For example, the lifespan of an eyelash hair is 150-200 days, then it falls out and a new one grows in its place. No matter how rare and thin the eyelashes and eyebrows may seem, there are a lot of them. Eyelashes grow on the upper eyelid in 3-4 rows, there are from 150 to 200. On the lower eyelid - in 1-2 rows, here their number is less - 75-100; and in the eyebrows there are up to 600 hairs.

Tweezers or tweezers are used to shape the eyebrows into the desired shape at home. The tool should be made of high quality stainless steel, the tips should be smooth and polished, the forceps should spring slightly when squeezed. Before the procedure, you should thoroughly wipe the instrument with a cotton swab moistened with cologne, alcohol or other disinfectant.

Brows

The beautiful shape of the eyebrows allows women to look more spectacular. The general expression of the face depends on their shape. For example, raised eyebrows invariably express amazement. Many women pluck their eyebrows, but never achieve the desired result. Therefore, before changing the shape of the eyebrows, you need to carefully consider your future image taking into account the structure of the face and fashion trends.

How to do it

The eyebrow line should be in harmony with the size and shape of the eyes and mouth, with the outlines of the face. A rounded face and plump lips are unlikely to be combined with straight or sharply broken eyebrows, and a mouth with thin lips will be discordant with wide thick eyebrows. The best option for the arch of the eyebrow is a bend similar to the outline of the upper lip.

The eyebrow consists of 3 parts: the head starting at the bridge of the nose, the middle part and the tail. Based on where the tail of the eyebrow ends (above or below the head), the main shapes of the eyebrow are determined.

Arcuate - considered perfect shape... It can only be slightly adjusted by plucking individual hairs.

Ascending - its tail is raised and ends above the head. This form "vrazlet" gives the face liveliness, rejuvenates it.

Horizontal - its break is small, the arc almost does not rise above the imaginary horizontal line going through the bridge of the nose, the head and tail are almost at the same level. If, moreover, the eyebrows are thick, they give the impression of severity.

Falling - its tail is too long and descends below the head. At the same time, the facial expression seems gloomy, gloomy. Eyebrows down to the temples make the face old.

Often, the shape of the eyebrows requires correction. The situation can be corrected by epilation and tinting procedures. Most often, hair is removed using special tweezers with rounded edges. Such a tool allows you to do without minor abrasions, scratches or other damage to the skin when plucking. Do not pluck or shave off the hairs along the top line of the eyebrows. Here is the most "important" protective part of the eyebrow. It contains powerful follicles responsible for the rapid growth and vibrant color of the hair. This means that the dark spots that appear at the site of the removed hair (these are newly growing hairs) will look extremely unattractive. In addition, when removing hairs, top line the eyebrow is reduced and the natural proportions of the face are disturbed.

If the eyebrows "stick out", they can be smoothed every day with an eyelash brush, after dipping it in castor oil, or with eyelash and eyebrow gel.

How to shape eyebrows

Before we start shaping the eyebrows, let's remember some of the geometry lessons. While looking in the mirror, mentally construct a triangle. Draw an imaginary line perpendicular to the brow through the inner corner of the eye. The point of intersection with the eyebrow will be its beginning (head). Next, draw the next line from the nostril to the outer corner of the eye and extend it until it intersects with the eyebrow. At this point, the brow should end. The beginning of the brow should be wider than the end of the brow.

To change the shape of the eyebrows, if it is not in harmony with the shape of the face, you can remove excess hairs. With an oval face shape, smooth eyebrow lines look good. When rounded - slightly raised and slightly rounded at the ends. With a triangular - raised and not too long, with a square - rather long, having the shape of a smooth arc.

Depending on the original shape of the eyebrows, there are several correction options:

- at the eyebrows of the falling shape, it is necessary to pluck the tail, since, in addition to the feeling of aging, they make the look sad and give the desired shape with a pencil (in case the border of the contour is not clear);

- horizontal eyebrows must be shaped like an arch, pluck out excess areas in the middle of the lower edge of the eyebrow. If the width of the eyebrow allows, you can also pluck the upper part of the tail, you can correct the eyebrows with a pencil;

- too thick eyebrows are plucked along the upper and lower lines of the eyebrows, so to speak, on all fronts, which will make them thinner. There is no need to use a correcting pencil, because with the help of epilation, you can give them the desired shape anyway.

- in accrete eyebrows, it will be correct to pluck the hairs growing between the eyebrows. This will accentuate the lines of the face.

The general recommendation is this: if you don't know which shape suits your face type, don't risk it - draw an eyebrow! Take a red or white pencil and draw the desired outline; following the drawn line, it will be easier to pluck out excess hairs and give the eyebrows a perfect shape.

We have one useful innovation at our disposal, it is called an eyebrow template or applicator. This item is a small piece of flexible plastic with an eyebrow cut out in the middle. Typically, a set of such templates includes several options for the shape of the eyebrows. Attach your favorite to the inner corner of the beginning of the eyebrow and trace the shape with a pencil, this will facilitate further plucking.

Useful Tips

Plucking eyebrows

Before the procedure, wash your hands thoroughly with soap, wipe the eyelid area with a cotton swab dipped in eyelid makeup remover. Brush your eyebrows with an eyebrow brush. To make hair removal less painful, you can soften them. To do this, soak 2 cotton swabs in warm water and place on your eyebrows, leave for 1-2 minutes. You can also soften your brows and the surrounding skin by rubbing in an emollient cream. Remember, your skin is most sensitive during your period, so it is best not to pluck your eyebrows before and during your period. Wait for them to finish.

Immediately before plucking, treat the skin and the instrument with a cotton swab dipped in an antiseptic (disinfecting) lotion. Then remove the hairs between the eyebrows by plucking them, pulling the skin tight with the index and middle fingers of the non-working hand. Grab each hair separately with tweezers and pull it out with a sharp movement in the direction of growth. Don't immediately turn your eyebrows into strings. Your task is simply to correct their shape. Re-treat skin areas with a cotton swab dipped in an antiseptic lotion and comb your eyebrows from top to bottom, remove the hairs above them.
