It happens to me too but I find that if you lightly pinch the area you're plucking between two fingers it keeps that from happening.

Not sure about other gals but you can take an ice cube and lightly rub it over your eyebrow for a while. then proceed to pluck ur eyebrow. This will numb it a little and not "move" the nerves where your tweezer plugs, leading to another sneeze

I read somewhere that certain nerve endings in your body are shared! I used to wonder why for example if I scratched my arm, I'd feel like a pinprick somewhere else...maybe my side.
It made sense when I read this. So your left eyebrow nerve endings probably are shared with nerve endings in your nose...so to pluck one makes your nose feel a tingle....and the tingle makes you sneeze. I'm sure there's a more medically qualified person out there who can explain this much better, but I hope this makes sense in layman's terms!

Yup!
Think that's because it's a sensitive area and so close to the sinuses.
Achoo!
