I lately sat down with famend forehead skilled Sania Vucetaj to speak about all issues forehead care, and one particular tip she gave labored instantly: Cease making use of skincare in your brows. Whereas I’ve by no means been one to slather my night time cream on my eyebrows instantly, I’ve been the alternative of aware till now. 

Her reasoning? The entire thick lotions and oils you employ on the pores and skin can simply overwhelm the fragile hairs that make up you brows. It isn’t that the oils and butters themselves hurt these hairs, however think about making use of your serums and night time lotions to the hair in your head—it wouldn’t precisely look voluminous afterward, wouldn’t it? Chances are high you’d want extra stylers to amp up your ‘do; within the case of forehead care, meaning slicking up the limp hairs with a sticky (typically not-too hydrating) gel.

So I put this principle to the check. I did my finest to keep away from the brows when utilizing my skincare merchandise and gently dabbed a moist rag on them afterward to ensure they have been as clear as might be. 

As soon as I began doing this trick, I observed I didn’t even want forehead gel to maintain these hairs standing up straight–aka, one much less step in my day by day make-up routine. What’s extra, my brows felt delicate and touchable, moderately than crunchy and stiff. 

Vucetaj even says my probabilities of rising again sparse patches have turn into even higher, due to this easy change. So the subsequent time you head to the toilet to your day by day skincare routine, bear in mind to be strategic with the place you place it and all the time skip the brows—apart from a correct forehead progress serum, in fact.
