Questions & Answers for Bliss Ingrown Eliminating Pads
Question
Are these considered ingrowns and can this product help?
I don't often get the typical red, painful bump associated with ingrowns. What I DO get, and quite often at once, are some hairs grown right under the first this layer of skin that you can actually see, and they actually look like they're just laying flat on my skin, but when touched they don't move. If I were to give it a hard scratch it would come loose. Are these still considered ingrowns and will this product help? I get them a lot at once, and I exfoliate a lot too! *Sighh*

Hmmm....not sure if they're considered in growns but I get those a lot too when they're just growing close to the surface. I can see them easily since i'm so fair. I usually just scratch them since they usually come out without issue. But if they don't come out easily, I would leave them. This would probably not help with those. Look around for Tend Skin product. That helps

I have exactly the same thing, and this product did not help me.
I have had some luck using a sugar scrub and following up with a good lotion. Be careful about scratching them, because you might get scars.

The best thing to use once you get those ingrowns under the skin is a sterlized thread needle. Sounds awful, but its the best thing that works to get them out. Nothing is 100% preventable for ingrowns, but this product helps lessen the chances. I still get the same types of ingrowns, so you have to realize there is no miracle out there.

Those are ingrown hairs, they just are not infected. Exfoliate with the pads, gently, as instructed and they won't get infected and will free themselves.

Yes, those are ingrowns. You may just need to moisturize right after you exfoliate to soften the skin and let the hairs grow out.

This product helps prevent ingrowns, so if you don't use it, then yes, you could get more ingrowns. Using one jar wouldn't stop ingrowns from happening the rest of your life. How often you use these will depend on how often you shave or wax. If you wax your bikini line, then you only need to use it a few times in between waxing as the hairs start to grow.

I don't use these every day, just a few times a week, but I really doubt that they will make bumps or ingrown hair get worse. It may seem like that if you stop using them and then suddenly bumps start popping back up, but I don't think that the bumps would be any worse then they were before using the pads.

Use before shaving as frequently as you have to shave. Shaving or plucking starts the "ingrown process" so you have to do it before you shave or pluck. That is why it can actually get expensive!

Depends on what you're trying to fix. For bikini line, I use one the day I shave and one the day after which lessens the pain of the grow-back. For body acne, if you want to see results, you might want to use these every day in the problem spot. Hope this helps!

-Avoid application for at least 12 hours after shaving and 24 hours after waxing or sun exposure.
-Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
-Avoid contact with eye area.

They just mean that they want your pores to be open. After showering your pores are open the most because the steam in your shower opens then. So the box means that the do want your skin a little moist. So just towel dry the area you want to use the product on and start your use no need to wash off after you use. Good luck and stay fabulous!

After you have toweled off, swipe the pad against the direction of hair growth. The pad will be damp, so it will quickly dry on the skin. Do NOT rinse as the ingredients help sooth irritated skin and would defeat the purpose of the product. Think of it like Strydex or Oxy acne pads. Apply to clean, dry skin, and let dry before applying make-up. You don't have to use right after a shower though.

I think you may want to let the skin dry so as not to dilute the product. I usually use these wipes when I know I don't have to go out for a while b/c I don't want to do any other products on top or have to wash it off.

This is a damp pad that contains ingrediants to help fight irritation and prevent ingrowns after you wax skin. This is not a wax treatment to remove hair, but rather prevent in-grown hairs from occuring, although not 100% preventable. If you have light hair on your face that you dislike, use either at home wax kit, go to a salon, or get it threaded at a salon.

I have used Tend Skin in the past on my bikini area after shaving and it worked for me. It stings a little when applying and left my skin a bit red right after application (goes away soon after), but it was totally worth it. I recently purchased the Bliss pads, because I couldn't find Tend Skin, and was extremely disappointed. They were completely ineffective and left a sticky residue on my skin.

I actually alternated use of both products, so I'm not sure which of the two may have been more affective, but I would highly recommend buying both and using one for morning, one for night. I believe the Bliss product is best for exfoliation to avoid bumps and the Tend Skin product is great for any bumps that may occur after the fact.
