Eyebrow Zits!

I've been managing the acne on the rest of my face, but eyebrow zits continue to outsmart me.

I tweeze pretty regularly, maybe twice a week, just to keep things neat. But with all of the work around that area, my eyebrows and especially the space between my eyebrows both are especially vulnerable to huge zits.

Is there anything I could do to avoid irritation when tweezing, or just to prevent this terribly specific problem? I try to pull in the direction of the hair growth.

Are you wiping down your tweezers with alcohol after each use? Sometimes you can transfer bacteria from not cleaning your tweezers often. I had the same problem...facialist told me to clean my tweezers after every use.

Have you used Aloe Vera? I have the same problem because i used to wax alot but now i tweeze. If you take Aloe Vera and squeeze it on to cotton balls and but them in the freezer after your done tweezing place them over your eye it will cool and sooth and minimize irritation or bumps it really helped me! i make around 15 cotton balls and leave them in the freezer so i can use them through out the week

I like to use a warm wet wash cloth to soften the hairs and open the pores which makes it easier to remove the hairs. I have that same problem

(Like the others mentioned) I disinfect my tweezers after every use, dab a cotton pad dampened by astringent/toner over the recently plucked area, and avoid applying makeup/heavy moisturizers until the redness goes away. also, just to be safe, the day after i tweeze, i lightly apply an 'acne fighter/preventative' gel (clean &clear) around that specific area. :)
