As soon as I lay down in Jasmina Vico’s serene Fitzrovia clinic, she tells me exactly what’s wrong with my skin.
“Someone is threading your eyebrows too harshly,” she says, pointing to my bumpy T-zone area as she dissects my face under her magnifying spotlight. “When you thread your natural skin’s response is to defend itself. In that defence it sends more blood flow and nutrients to feed the hair follicle roots, meaning you’re actually making the hair grow stronger. So you’re actually threading too often to keep up with this cycle,” she explains.
