Threading is considered the best alternative to waxing and plucking. Unfortunately, although threading is very gentle on the skin, there are times when skin experience redness, break-outs and itching after threading.

It is better to avoid applying makeup to the threaded area as heavy creams can clog the pores leading to break-outs. Even if you don’t experience skin irritation, skip using cosmetics products to reduce the risks and give your skin enough time to recover.

Treat Redness

Slight redness is common after threading. The redness disappears on its own after few hours. However, you can apply a cold compress on the threaded area to reduce the redness. You can also use rose water or aloe vera gel to help you with the irritation.

Avoid Sun

Your skin is bound to be sensitive to harmful UV rays after threading. Therefore, avoid exposure to direct sunlight as it can cause inflammation or sunburn. However, if you do need to go out in the sun, make sure to wear sunscreen.

Avoid touching the threaded area.

Resist the temptation of touching your brows after threading for few hours. Frequently touching the hair-free area can transfer the bacteria or oil from fingers to open pores leading to infection and break-outs.

Avoid Exfoliation

As we know, exfoliation is necessary to remove dead skin cells and uncover new cells below. But commercial exfoliators contain harmful chemical that may damage your sensitive skin. So, try to avoid exfoliating your face after threading for a day to prevent further irritation.
