Wedding Tomorrow! Eyebrows inflamed after eyebrow threading - advice please.

Hair Removal

Today I got my eyebrows threaded but something happened and my eyebrow has become inflamed. Also there seems to be tiny spots/blisters where the hair hair follicles were. The problem is I've got a wedding in 14hours and I want to look my best. What can I do to reduce the inflammation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks.

Hopefully it helps to keep in mind: assuming this isn't YOUR wedding, I cannot emphasize enough that no one will be looking at you.

Put a bit of makeup on to help minimize any obvious redness and smile and fewer people will probably notice than you think.

Ice pack ?

Ibuprofen (advil) will help lower the inflammation. Take some now and take some an hour or so before you apply makeup for the wedding.

Ibprofen maybe? Thoughts anyone? It could help with inflammation

I'd just hold a cool flannel to it and sleep with sudocrem eyebrows lol I'm not too sure if there's much you can do other than not irritate it more in such a short time frame?

1.neem oil (be careful with eyes) 1hr or sleep with it.

Or

  1. Honey (leave on)

Then moisturize with a light but sealant cream to let your skin heal.

Adding on to this:

1.) Aloe

2.) Tumeric

Anything that's anti bacterial and that would soothe irritation would be ideal. The blisters are irritated and mildly infected hair follicles and should go down if you gently cleanse the area and keep it protected and covered with some Vaseline or Aquaphor.

Tumeric is pretty stain-ing. I'd be careful putting that on the skin.

Massaging a little oil on your skin afterwards takes care of that.
