I recently got an email about contracting herpes from eye brow waxing. I reserched it on the internet and one site said its false. What do you all think? I get my eye brows waxed all the time and would realy hate to stop, so is this true or false??

I think just as long as the place you were getting it done at is sanitary, you are safe... just don't go to any shady beauty parlor where they don't care about you.

i think that you should not really think too much about it
there is not truth behind that because there is no way herpes can get into your body from an eye brow wax
i get them a lot and have never heard of that
but i do know that treading is better because the constant ripping of the paper off your skin is not suppose to be good for your skin it makes it leathery after years of waxing

I don't know about herpes but you can get infections from it. Make sure you go to a medical spa or salon that uses clean equipment. I used to go to a place where they double dipped the sticks and the pot of wax just looked nasty. Where I go now is all sterile and they are very careful not to contaminate everything.

I get my eyebrows waxed every two weeks and nothing has happened. I really don't think it is possible.to get herpes that way.All it is is wax and paper, you would have to come into contact with the virus.

it is going to in all threat harm slightly through fact it is your first time. it incredibly is short-term in spite of the undeniable fact that. they simply unfold heat wax on the section and placed a strip over it and then rip it off. as quickly as you do it some cases, you will not even sense it.

pot wax has something in it that kills all germs, that is why you can re-dip into the wax while the service is taking place. if your salon is sanitary then you should have nothing to worry about

Herpes is a virus. I can't see how you would transfer it through wax. they don't reuse it.

well, can you get it from body hair waxing? I don't think it should be any different.
