Eyebrow waxers - help!!

Witch hazel, cooled boiled water or a mild antiseptic cream.

After waxing you should have a protective gel/cream put on as the skin is delicate and a little vulnerable, it also should be calming. Moisturiser would probably have perfume which isn't ideal as it could irritate. Ice may help if you need it but it should settle down fairly well on its own.

I don't get my eyebrows waxed, but try something cool and soothing for the swelling and redness. Use a cold, damp washcloth, maybe some cucumber or witch hazel (if they won't irritate it more for you.) Put it on your face for 10 minutes or so, and repeat through the day. Hopefully it will help with the swelling.

I would recommend threading as well. If you are still red and have tried all of the above, maybe some ibuprofen or Tylenol to reduce the swelling? To

For what it's worth, my level of redness and length of redness definitely depends on where in my cycle I am. I few days before and during my period I'm guaranteed to have a horrible reaction.

Oil of Olay makes a great face depilatory cream in light and dark. It's $20, but it lasts a long time and works great.

I clean up my eyebrows and do my upper lip and sometimes the edges of my cheeks by my hairline. There's a good after balm. No more red swelling. I put the cream on a q tip to do under my eyebrows--it says not to use there, but I've not had problems. If the cream starts to drip I just wipe it off.

If I didn't clean up my eyebrows, I'd look like Bert from Sesame Street. Well, the hair is less now that I'm post menopausal. 

I had a professional wax kit in college. It was an electric heater that had small plastic tubes of wax. One got too hot, and I burnt my eyelid. I have a scar. I wish there had been a good depilatory cream then. 

Pick up some cortisone cream from the drugstore if you don't have it, that should do the trick. Maybe take an antihistamine as well if you need faster results. I get my eyebrows waxed maybe every six to eight weeks, and my aesthetician always puts a little cream on my skin afterwards to calm it down. I have sensitive skin as well, so you have my sympathy.

Depilatory creams dissolve the hair so probably not a great idea to have on the skin for someone with ultra sensitive skin like the OP. It can only last as long as it takes the hair to re-grow, maybe your hair growth is slowing anyway due to being post-meno.

Ugh that sounds painful. I agree - maybe try threading instead - sounds like your skin just does not like the wax.

I am a redhead with super sensitive skin. I couldn't even stand the "special *sensitive* wax" at Aveda. I had nasty red streaks that got puffy and then would get tiny white bumps. 

The Sally Hansen and Nair depilatory cream is NOT recommended if you have sensitive skin.

Oil of Olay is amazing. It's definitely worth the money. I normally find it hidden amongst the Olay face creams instead of with the other waxing products. It's in a narrow, long box. One's teal and the other purple. My face hair is dark even though it's lightweight, so I get the darker hair box. 

ETA: the ends of my brows are thinning a tiny bit with age, but my brows look like Brook Shields and Cara Delevingne had a love child.

My DD uses Bikini Zone gel when she has her brows waxed. It really helps with the redness and bumps.

Same reaction with me. I happen to have a doctor appointment the next day. She said cortisone. I layered it pretty thick at night. And used during the day, but rubbed in better!
