To avoid irritation -- not to mention reduce the risk of completely stripping your eyebrows -- wax each section of the brow only once. Still see some stragglers? Now's the time for tweezers. Somehow managed to get wax all over your hands? (Hey, it happens to the best of us). A drop of oil, any kind, will cut through the stickiness and help you get it off.

Van Jones recommends wiping brows with a cotton pad soaked in Band-Aid Hurt-Free Antiseptic Wash, $4.49. If your skin is sensitive and you're prone to bumps or redness, a dab of OTC cortisone cream will help soothe any irritation, she adds. And steer clear of oils or oil-based products afterward, as they can clog up the pores of freshly waxed skin.
