Don’t Tweeze and Sneeze–Choose Laser Hair Removal Instead
Did you know you many be experiencing an allergic reaction when your nose runs and you sneeze while tweezing your eyebrows? According to allergists, people sneeze in response to the lining inside the nose being irritated by something external, such as dust particles or allergens entering the nose, or something internal, such as a respiratory infection. When a nerve called the trigeminal nerve is irritated during an eyebrow plucking session, sneezing and watery eyes result in many people who are "allergic" to eyebrow tweezing.
Controlling Allergic Reactions Due to Eyebrow Tweezing
Taking antihistamines before tweezing may reduce sneezing or itching. Decongestants relieve nasal congestion by constricting blood vessels and opening up swelled sinus passages. Using a nasal steroid spray before plucking eyebrows may also alleviate the "tweeze and sneeze" syndrome experienced by more people than you think. According to the website Oprah.com, Dr. Cynthia Boxrud of the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA says that by pressing your fingertip anyplace on your eyebrow while you tweeze, you may be able to "short-circuit" the trigeminal nerve wiring and inhibit sneezing fits.
But, seriously, who wants to do all this stuff just to have perfectly shaped eyebrows?
