Yes, this is my eyebrow 20 minutes after a wax!!! The cosmetologist said one of my skin care products is making my skin extra sensitive and thus reacting to the hot wax. (As a note I went to a trusted spa, not a cheap nail service place) Lovely. I have put on aloe vera and antibiotic ontiment, and am praying for no scarring.
Has this every happened to you??
The next morning...still red and now swollen!
I will be wearing sunglasses all day to wide this!!!
Update:
Well I went to the dermatologists; and apparently, one of my face creams
has “retinoids” in it, so I shouldn’t have used wax…who knew!?! I am supposed to stop using the cream for
seven days prior to waxing!! I had no idea.
She gave me a RX for Bionect (which is very expensive, like $200+!!), but it will give
quicker healing.

That's a burn!!
Also the best thing for this is to put a vitamin E oil on it. Either a rosehip oil which has vitamin E incorporated.
Obviously the scab is gone now, so I would be putting some sort of Vitamin E, and NOT Bio Oil.
The wax was way to hot and the therapist should not of used it on you at all!
