How do I repair damaged skin from overplucking my eyebrows?

So I've been plucking my eyebrows for like 10 years probably, since I was a teen. My eyebrows are thin, overplucked. Obviously I just need to let them grow back. The problem is the eyebrow skin itself. It's very damaged, red, dry, almost scabby. The eyebrows don't grow well in this skin, the hairs tend to get ingrown and not grow out because of the dryness. I have tried all sorts of moisturisers, auzeline oil, hydrocortizone cream, aloe vera, vitamine E, nothing seems to work really well. Even when I do moisurise, the redness is still there. It's really hard to cover up the redness and dryness with make-up. I have had so many people make comments on my brows. I just want them to heal up so that the hair can regrow. Any suggestions?

i had the same problem , and what i did was bought a deep moisterizer [ really really deep] , and some vitamin E oil and put moisterizer on at night and in the morning the vitamin E. this works really well. also , if you wash your face at night or in the morning , stop. or at least around your eyebrow area . over washing seems to make it even more dry. another thing is that when you sleep , dampen a washcloth , rub some vitamin E and moisterizer on it , and put it on your brows. another thing is dont put make up on it. it will agitate the skin and make it a worse condition.





i hope i helped =]
Reply:try elizabeth arden 8 hour cream or polysporin. be consistent in applying it - i.e. everyday twice a day. try it out for a month and see if you notice anything. if there's still no change, go see a dermatologist.





as for the redness, try applying visine to clean dry skin. it helps remove redness from zits, so it might work on your brow area.
Reply:After washing your face each night before going to bed, rub a LITTLE bit of neosporin into each brow area nightly.





This helps with the dryness (mineral oil), redness (dryness/infected follicles), and ingrown hairs(antibiotic).





Let me know if it DOESN'T work. That's how confident I am. I have the same problem.





Should be better in 1 week.
