Over-the-counter scrubs and moisturizers can get rid of brow dandruff.
Getting rid of brow dandruff depends, in part, on what is actually causing the dry, flaky skin in the brow area. Depending on the cause, you can reduce or eliminate brow dandruff by using over-the-counter scrubs and moisturizers, washing with dandruff shampoo, or applying topical steroid creams. In many cases, you will find that with proper treatment, the dandruff goes away quickly. As the skin around the eyes is sensitive, you should be careful with products used around the eyes. If you have very sensitive skin or if over-the-counter treatments are not effective in getting rid of dandruff, you should see a doctor.
An anti-dandruff shampoo can be helpful in removing dandruff from your eyebrows.
Although many people associate dandruff with the scalp, it is possible to develop patches of dry skin anywhere on the body. If the cause of your dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis, a condition characterized by flakes of yellowish oily skin, you may be able to treat the condition simply by using a mild cleanser on your brows once or twice a day. You can use an over-the-counter dandruff shampoo on your brows if a gentle cleanser doesn’t work. Be careful not to get the shampoo in your eyes, and rinse your brows thoroughly after shampooing.
Keeping your brows trimmed can help reduce dandruff buildup on your brows.
If your initial attempt at treating eyebrow dandruff with an anti-dandruff shampoo doesn’t work, you may need to use a topical steroid cream. However, you should be aware that using a steroid cream for a long period of time can have negative effects on your skin. You may want to speak to a doctor before taking this step, as they can advise you on different treatments, including a prescription anti-dandruff shampoo. It can also tell you if the dandruff is the result of a more serious skin condition, such as psoriasis, or even a fungal infection.
Dandruff from the eyebrows can fall into the eyes and cause irritation.
In some cases, eyebrow dandruff can be a dry skin problem. In that case, simple changes to your skincare routine can help. For example, you may want to clean your eyebrows every day with a facial cleanser, gently rubbing them with a slightly abrasive towel. Then apply a moisturizer.
Another possibility is that you have developed eyebrow dandruff as an allergic reaction to a skin care product, cosmetic, or even a hair care product that affects your eyebrows when it comes into contact with your bangs. If that’s the case, you may want to stop using all products for a few days to see if your brows improve. If so, gradually add products to your daily beauty routine, one each day, until you determine what is causing the irritation.
