Eyebrow help please....

I have plucked my eyebrows for a while now (just in between) and recently I have been getting a lot of in-growing hairs which have been causeing large spots and very red marks. The marks are really bad and everytime I seem to get rid of one mark up comes another... 
Any suggestions to stop this happening?
And also.. is there any creams/treatments out there to speed up the skin healing process as the red marks are really visable.

A good face scrub once or twice a week should help. :yes:
Gorgeous, ain't she?
OP - I've heard good things about that St. Ives apricot one. Although I think they're all much of a muchness.
Clean and Clear does a morning scrub (or something like that) thats nice.
After waxing/tweezing, I always just washed my face and put some astrengent over my eyebrows and that seemed to help with the breakout.
And I use St Ives religiously - I have psoriasis on my eyebrows and it really helps freshen the skin up.
But make sure you moisturise immediately after exfoliating or your skin will just dry out completely.
Another tip; if you've got ingrowing hairs and you want to pluck them out, get a hot flannel and hold it on your eyebrows for a good 5 minutes and then pluck - it'll open up the pores and make it easier to remove ingrown hairs...
Aww. They are the best pets ever, imo. Like all the best bits of a small pet mixed with all the best bits of a dog or cat. Although they are pretty high-maintenance, so I guess I could see where your parents are coming from.
Might try me some of this apricot stuff. It's always on offer in one supermarket or another, and I should really exfoliate more often. My skin is drier than nasty dry stuff. :sour:
:no: get 2 :yes:
Definitely. And get rescue ones too!
:yes: :yes:
my ferret fell in the pond today while chasing goldfish! It was hillarious. She was not best pleased!
I'd love to let mine outside, but I just don't trust them not to scarper, and can't find a harness small enough for the skinny one.
So I console myself with taking pictures of them sleeping in humorous positions. (Their favourite hiding place is the bottom drawer of my sewing desk).
Yours are mega cute, btw
mine sleeps in the high 5 position too! i'll find a photo...or 4. Taking sleeping photos is one of my favourite pastime activities! Its so cute
i had to adjust a harness to fit my fidget as shes so tiny. Good old needle and thread, and a flame to the frayed ends sorted it out!
stops hijacking the thread now
Sleeping photos is really the only way forward, as they are way too hyperactive to get a good photo while awake.
(except maybe this one)
haha yes those are good too. Ive spent hours trying to take photos when mines awake. I always end up frustrated, with a lot of blurred photos. I did manage to catch her yawning once, quite impressive
That is the holy grail! :hyper:
A ferret only bites and smells if you dont train it or wash it. Much like a dog. If you get a puppy and do no training, its going to bite! If you dont bath it, its going to stink!
Random change!!
Back to eyebrows, yes i also think you need to exfoliate them!
Also though, ive heard good things about a product called "tend skin" you may want to look into that, apparantly it prevents in-grown hairs. I think its expensive though...
Oh my, those ferets are sooooo cute. want one! daddy! I want a ferret! get me one now!
how are they high maintenance, compared to other pet?
Other than that its all worth it. Its like having a kitten really, maintenence wise.
