Shaping eyebrows can make them look more beautiful, but it can also cause some harm to the body. In particular, tweezing eyebrows can lead to several negative effects. Let's take a look at the drawbacks of eyebrow shaping.
Easily affects eyebrow function
Eyebrows are located above the eyes and can prevent sweat from falling into the eyes, reducing the irritation caused by compounds in sweat. Frequent eyebrow shaping, or even completely removing the eyebrows, can easily impair the function of the eyebrows and increase the risk of conjunctivitis.
Greater eye irritation
If tweezing is used for eyebrow shaping, the force applied is stronger, which can cause greater irritation to the blood vessels and nerves around the eyes, leading to blurry vision and a feeling of pain in the eyes. Shaving eyebrows, on the other hand, provides less stimulation to the blood vessels and nerves.
Possible inflammation
If tweezing or plucking eyebrows is used for shaping without paying attention to cleanliness, the exposed hair follicles can easily cause inflammation. In severe cases, bacteria can spread through the bloodstream and cause cellulitis and other inflammations.
Accelerates skin aging around the eyes
Whether it's shaving or tweezing eyebrows, it can cause irritation to the delicate skin on the eyelids. Particularly, frequent stretching of the skin on the eyebrows can cause it to become loose and saggy, leading to premature wrinkles and aging.
Frequent maintenance required for eyebrow shaping
Shaping eyebrows, whether through shaving or tweezing, cannot fundamentally stop eyebrow growth and needs to be repeated after a certain period of time. Especially with shaving, it needs to be done every few days. Tweezing has a longer interval, but it also causes more damage to the hair follicles.
