Having beautiful and well-groomed eyebrows can enhance your overall appearance. But it is important to care for your eyebrows correctly to avoid common mistakes that can damage them. Here are 30 common eyebrow care mistakes you should avoid:.

Mistake #1: Overplucking

Overplucking can lead to sparse eyebrows that may take months to grow back. Try not to pluck too frequently and only remove the stray hair.

Mistake #2: Using the wrong tweezer

Invest in a high-quality tweezer with a slanted tip to ensure you can remove the hair effectively without causing damage to the surrounding skin.

Mistake #3: Relying on magnifying mirrors

Using a magnifying mirror can make it difficult to achieve the desired shape and thickness of your eyebrows. Instead, use a normal mirror to get a better, more natural perspective.

Mistake #4: Not considering your face shape

Your face shape plays an important role in the shape and thickness of your brows. Consider your face shape before deciding on the best eyebrow shape for you.

Mistake #5: Using old makeup

Expired makeup can lead to bacterial infections and may lead to eyebrow hair loss. Always check the expiration date on your makeup products.

Mistake #6: Applying too much product

Using too much brow product can make your eyebrows look unnatural and heavy. Use a light hand and only apply the necessary amount of product.

Mistake #7: Ignoring the inner corners

Many people forget to shape and groom the inner corners of their eyebrows. This can lead to an unflattering appearance. Use a spoolie brush to brush the hairs upward and trim any excess hair.

Mistake #8: Picking at pimples near your eyebrows

Everyone gets pimples, but picking at them can cause damage to the surrounding area, eventually leading to eyebrow hair loss.

Mistake #9: Overusing brow wax

Brow wax can be useful, but overusing it can cause damage to your eyebrows. Use sparingly and only as needed.

Mistake #10: Skipping trimming

If your eyebrows are particularly long, trimming them is essential. Use a pair of scissors and trim any hairs that are too long.

Mistake #11: Plucking ingrown hairs

Do not pluck ingrown hairs as it can aggravate the skin and cause more ingrown hairs to develop. Use a warm compress to gently coax the hair out.

Mistake #12: Not moisturizing

Moisturizing your eyebrows can keep them looking healthy and nourished. Use a light moisturizer designed specifically for eyebrows.

Mistake #13: Using too much tint

Using too much tint on your eyebrows can make them appear darker and unnatural. Use a light touch and apply the tint in small increments.

Mistake #14: Tweezing before a big event

Don’t tweeze your eyebrows right before a big event as your skin may become red and inflamed. Do this at least a day or two before the event to give the skin time to heal.

Mistake #15: Not seeking professional help

If your eyebrows are very sparse or you are not sure how to shape them, seek the help of a professional. They can advise you on the best shape and style for your face.

Mistake #16: Over-exfoliating

Exfoliating your eyebrows too much can lead to damage to the hair follicle. This will lead to sparse eyebrows that may take months to grow back.

Mistake #17: Getting a tattoo without research

Getting a tattoo on your eyebrows may seem like a good idea, but it is important to research the procedure thoroughly before going ahead.

Mistake #18: Sleeping on your face

Sleeping on your face can cause friction against your eyebrows, leading to hair loss. Try to sleep on your back or on your side instead.

Mistake #19: Not removing makeup properly

Leaving makeup on overnight can clog the hair follicle, leading to damage and hair loss. Use a gentle makeup remover and cleanse your skin thoroughly.

Mistake #20: Ignoring medical conditions

If you notice sudden hair loss or thinning of your eyebrows, it may be due to an underlying medical condition. See a doctor if you are experiencing these symptoms.
