Full brows are one of the most sought-after beauty trends of this year. Lush, defined brows take a lot more work than you'd expect, though. It can get so difficult that some people even turn to tattoing or microblading their brows just to acheive a Cara Delevigne-like look. Well, the reason your eyebrows mgiht be sub-par to your expectations is because you're missing a crucial step to taking care of them: exfoliating!

Brow experts around the globe are preaching about exfoliating your brows, and for good reason. Exfoliation actually helps prevent ingrown brow hairs, which could form pimple-like bumps in your brows!
"Just like pores on your skin can get congested from wearing makeup, so can you brow follicles, especially if you have course hair that is prone to ingrowing that can occur after brow waxing," makeup artist Nathalie Eleni told The Daily Mail. "Gentle brow exfoliating may seem like another extreme beauty ritual but if you wear a lot of brow make up and find it can get stuck and go clumpy under the hairs, then gentle exfoliating around the brows can really help."

Brow exfoliation is actually becoming such a huge part of the beauty world that companies are creating brow exfoliant products! Beauty company Bbrowbar recentaly launched a Brow Exfoliator to keep your brows clean and tame, and we're expecting more companies to do the same.
However, you do need to be careful and take a delicate approach when exfoliating your brows. Over-exfoliation can actually cause hairs to fall out, so make sure this is something you do occasionally (about once a week, at most). You'll see the difference in your brows in no time!
