Shaving your armpits? Here’s how to master this true craft!
Do you remember the first time you shaved your armpits? A big and adventurous step on the journey from girl to woman.
If there is one place on your body where you don’t want to put a blade to your flesh, it’s your armpit. Removing hair from your armpits is a job that requires the necessary craftsmanship.

Fortunately, we have become increasingly skilled with the razor over the years.
But to get this job done smoothly, without being left with irritation or ingrown hairs, there are a number of handy and simple tips you can apply.
What you need:
- A washcloth with a mild soap or mild exfoliant
- Shaving cream that suits your skin type
- A sharp and clean razor
- A nourishing cream or special lotion against irritation
7 tips for beautifully smooth armpits
Tip 1. Shave in the evening
It is recommended to shave your armpits in the evening. Your armpits are very sensitive and can use some rest to recover after shaving.
The night is perfect for this. This way, you prevent irritation from deodorant or the friction of clothing.
Tip 2. Shave your armpits last
Don’t start shaving immediately as soon as you jump in the shower. It’s better to stand under the warm shower for a while before you start shaving. The warm water ensures that your hairs are softer, which makes shaving easier.
Tip 3. Exfoliate before shaving
Exfoliating, peeling, or scrubbing is always a good idea before you grab a razor. You remove dead skin cells and make your skin nice and smooth and clean. This ensures an even smoother result and helps prevent irritation.

Tip 4. Use shaving cream
Tip 5. Choose a good razor
Tip 6. Pull your skin taut and shave with care
Tip 7. Take care of your skin
After shaving, it’s good to take care of your skin with a suitable hydrating body cream or lotion. Avoid skincare products containing alcohol immediately after shaving.

Whether or not to shave is a choice; fortunately, shaving irritation is now one too!
YIONN has developed the perfect product for every step in your shaving routine!
You’re fed up with it. Time and again, those red bumps, ingrown hairs, and itching after hair removal on your bikini line, armpits, and legs.
You feel frustrated and anything but sexy. No woman should have to feel that way. And that includes you.
First of all, I want to reassure
you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your skin.
It’s actually just doing what it’s supposed to do. It reacts to the stress of hair removal, which causes all sorts of unwanted side effects, such as itching and red bumps.
Not the result we women want, so we need to give our skin and nature a helping hand.
And that is exactly what YIONN products
do!

YIONN Raka is truly a top product! A gentle solution for those annoying, painful ingrown hairs, especially when combined with the scrub.

I thought: you know what, I’ll just give it a try! OMG!!! I really should have done that sooner. I’m 37 now and for the first time, I dare to wear a bikini bottom with pride
. What a miracle cure! Not a single bit of irritation to be found. It’s still bizarre. And I really suffered from it.

A product that does what it promises, easy to use. I now have almost all the products and won’t use anything else.

After 2 weeks, I already noticed a difference. Almost no bumps and itching anymore after shaving. I’m definitely going to try more products.
Patricia Tikar
I’ve often used things like this but they never helped me, even though others were always satisfied with them, and I felt the same about
this product too, but I ordered it anyway and it took a bit longer for me, but it definitely helped!
Maria Ilgun
Much less irritation and bumps. The shaving gel and Raka are truly my favorites; last time I bought shaving foam out of necessity and immediately got bumps
and irritation again…

Free from your shaving irritation within 3 weeks: or your money back
That is my promise to you!

From certified nurse to hair removal expert:
I’m Wendy, the founder of YIONN. I know better than anyone what it’s like to go through life with shaving discomforts.
After desperately trying all sorts of ways and remedies for red shaving bumps and ingrown hairs and spending a lot of money, I was
sick of it.
I decided to find a solution for my shaving irritation myself that actually worked, and I succeeded!
I developed Raka, a caring lotion based on rose water, camphor, and willow bark. By applying a thin layer to the problem area, it easily and quickly calms the skin after hair removal, prevents red bumps, and lets the hair grow out again—instead of in.
And with that, I could finally say goodbye to my insecurity and discomfort.
Hallelujah.
When it later turned out that Raka worked not only for me but also for many other women, I started creating several other products around it that can make hair removal a pleasant experience again.
And because I am so convinced of how it works and I don’t want to keep your money in the rare case that you aren’t satisfied, I came up with the unique YIONN 30-day money-back guarantee (a guarantee you normally never get on hygiene products).
