Invisible and delicate makeup is one of the main tools in the arsenal of female beauty, and that is why voluminous and painful pimples on women’s eyebrows are so unpleasant. The reasons for their appearance may be different, but they have one thing in common: these defects are almost impossible to disguise with cosmetics. On the eyebrows, foundation, concealer and powder become noticeable, so the makeup immediately looks vulgar and unnatural.

What to do if redness, ulcers and painful pimples appear quite often in this area? Our article will tell you how to determine the cause and fight the scourge with the help of medications and recipes from your grandmother’s home first aid kit.

Causes of acne on eyebrows in women

Don't know how to get rid of acne on women's eyebrows? First, you need to know the reason for their appearance. You cannot disguise them with makeup, because cosmetics once again emphasize imperfections. In addition, eyebrow shadows can clog the natural oil glands and cause even more breakouts on the skin.

First, carefully examine the dermis. It is necessary to understand why defects have formed on the face.

As a rule, the causes of acne between the eyebrows in women can be:

1. Changes in hormonal levels.
   Pregnancy, menopause, and endocrine diseases can lead to inflammatory processes on the skin of the entire face. Hormonal changes provoke excessive function of the sebaceous and sweat glands, which causes clogged pores.
2. Fungus, allergies, skin diseases.
   An allergic reaction and fungus are often the true causes of inflammation and ulcers.
3. Avitaminosis.
   An acute lack of vitamins during the cold season can cause numerous rashes on a woman’s skin.
4. Malfunction of the digestive system.
   Poor nutrition, lack of vegetables and fresh fruits in the diet lead to the retention of waste and toxins in the body. All harmful substances come to the surface of the skin, which is why acne appears above a woman’s eyebrows, the causes of which are obvious.
5. Incorrect correction of facial hair.
   Accidentally touching a vessel while removing excess vegetation can cause inflammation, redness or itching. The skin on the face is very delicate, so all cosmetic procedures with it must be carried out very carefully.
6. Oily skin.
   Increased oily skin often leads to acne between a woman's eyebrows. How to get rid of them? It is necessary to monitor the condition of the upper layer of the epidermis and treat it with a special lotion.
7. Infestation with subcutaneous mites (demodectic mange).
   The smallest subcutaneous parasite often causes skin problems, including inflammation on the face. The mite lives deep in the layers of the dermis, so the disease must be treated with medication.
8. Failure to comply with personal hygiene rules.
   Lack of care can provoke the growth of bacteria on the skin and lead to inflammation.
9. Incorrectly selected dermal care products.
   A woman’s saving on cosmetics and replacing familiar brands with cheap analogues can disrupt the functioning of the skin and cause an inflammatory process. It is worth carefully studying the composition of the facial product and making sure that it contains only natural ingredients. If you use untested cosmetics, then you can be sure that the cause of inflammation lies precisely in this.
10. Overwork, stress, depression.
    Stressful situations are not only harmful to the nervous system, but can also cause acne above a woman’s eyebrows.
11. Side effects of drugs.
    Taking medications often leads to a malfunction of the skin between the eyebrows and causes inflammation. Self-treatment causes acne, so choose medications with great care.
12. Hypothermia.
    Sudden changes in temperature can cause colds and the formation of ulcers on the skin.

Peeling - deep cleansing of the skin with the help of non-concentrated acids and other compounds - removes keratinization, but is carried out only after the removal of inflammatory processes.

It is important to understand that skin inflammation during the menstrual period or any hormonal imbalance are temporary causes of formations on the skin. Approach your diet responsibly: increase your consumption of vegetables and fruits, give up fried and floury foods, drink more fluids. Walking in nature will help remove all waste and toxins from the body.
