What Happens If You Wax Your Eyebrows Too Often?

Ultimately, you should be getting your brows waxed every three to four weeks, says Marie Claire. But even that can be too often. Brow master Stevi Christine agrees, telling Allure, "When your brows appear too thin, the shape is off, or they don't look related," it usually means you need to take a break and let your brow hair grow out. Your brows should be complementing your face shape, not standing out, so it's important to know when they have been over waxed. 

And that's not the only reason to reconsider how often you wax your eyebrows. Matt Shakik, senior brow specialist at Spruce & Bond, believes you should be ditching waxing altogether. "It's crazy to me that people are still getting brow waxes," he told StyleCaster. "It's the fastest way to prematurely age the eyes, and no one wants to speed up the aging process," he explained. Given the eye area is very delicate, Shakik believes waxing can cause damage to the skin. Instead, consider opting for tweezing, but you'll want to be careful not to overpluck.
