Meet YIONN
There you are: 36 years old, with young children, and newly divorced.
Everything that was familiar and seemingly mapped out over the past few years falls out from under your feet.
I had to rebuild my life, and the fact that I had taken the years of discomfort around hair removal for granted until then started to play a role again.
My name is Wendy Kers: I am the owner of YIONN.
It seems like such an insignificant little inconvenience: red bumps, itching and ingrown hairs after shaving.
But for those who suffer from it, it has a major impact on their daily lives.
For as long as I can remember, hair removal has always been a problem for me, in whatever form. And not the hair removal itself, but the discomfort in the days that followed. Red bumps, small (sometimes larger) pimples, ingrown hairs and maddening itching.
I suffered from it after almost every shave. But the strange thing was: I actually just adapted my life, clothes and daily schedule to it.
Of course, I undertook the search for a solution a few times at a younger age, but quite honestly: nothing really helped long-term against these unsightly consequences of hair removal.
And then you reach that age where insecurity about your body doesn’t really play such a big role anymore.
You get older. The whole ‘house, tree, pet’ thing: husband, 2 kids and a dog. Happy life, nice house, great job. You are who you are, and my environment and I accept me as I am.
Every once in a while, that frustration would surface: unsightly bumps on my legs after shaving… Itching under my armpits and in the pubic area. My husband and children had gotten used to it by then.
Shamelessly, I would sometimes sit on the couch in the evening scratching unabashedly. Then I’d make another attempt to buy out the drugstore with all kinds of remedies that were supposed to combat this discomfort.
Result: an empty wallet and one more illusion.
By then well past the age of 30, I gave up and learned to live with it: after all, there are worse things in life.
Until 2013, when my (now ex-) husband and I divorced. A dark chapter in my life. You wouldn’t wish it on anyone: especially not your children.
At 36, you lose everything that was familiar until then and you start your life over.
Anyway: YIONN is (unfortunately) not a remedy for divorce, so let me not elaborate further on that.
That divorce was indirectly the reason I started setting up the YIONN line.
Because then you’re 36 AND single again. You’re no longer with that man who has been lying next to you in bed for 18 years and knows you from head to toe. Where you could be yourself, and you are who you are.
You start dating again, and another man enters your life. It gave me an absolutely wonderful feeling to find love again, but it brought back that insecurity about myself.
I took matters into my own hands and spent a year immersing myself in the world of hair removal.
The unsightly bumps and itching were more present than ever. Hair removal was a must, because you’re not going to meet your new love with huge mats of unwanted hair. But the discomfort afterwards took its toll on me.
It sounds so trivial, and what are you worrying about… But that enormous discomfort and the unsightly consequences after hair removal made me more insecure than I thought. This was the moment for me to create the solution myself.
The fact that I also lost my job in the aftermath of the divorce contributed to that and gave me the drive to persevere. I threw myself into finding a solution to a problem that I now knew more women (and men!) suffer from.
I spoke with dermatologists and skin specialists to first understand the cause of the irritation. I started comparing different hair removal methods and tested them all myself to find out which methods my skin responded best to.
I expanded my research further to “old wives’ tales” remedies and tested their various effects. It was a long road with a lot of sense and nonsense….
And over 2 years later, I was on the eve of a line of exceptionally beautiful products that I am immensely proud of.
A line of skincare products based on the proven healing powers of natural ingredients such as rose water, camphor oil, mulberry, sunflower seed, almond oil and chamomile.
But above all, with the conviction that every woman should always feel Beautifully Confident in Herself.
Because YIONN is not just a lotion or cream in a tube or bottle.
By using YIONN products, I have regained my self-confidence.
Something I wish for every woman.
And that’s why at YIONN we have a unique 30-day money-back guarantee.
Because I, more than anyone, understand that you’ve already tried a lot, have often faced disappointment, and it has too often cost you too much money.

YIONN Products Are Full of Natural Ingredients:
Camphor oil
This silky-smooth oil is extracted from the wood of the camphor tree. In small doses, this camphor oil has been known for its soothing properties since the 17th century.
Bitter Almond Oil
The less well-known, but chosen for its effect, bitter almond oil has a deeply softening and intensely nourishing effect on the skin. In addition, it is anesthetic, hydrating and antibacterial for the skin.
Mulberry
Ylonn Róa contains fruit extract from the Mulberry fruit. Mulberry naturally reduces the production of pigment spots.
This without bleaching the skin.
Chamomile
Chamomile is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and anti-itching. In addition, it promotes epithelialization: an important step in creating a new skin layer over a wound.
Corn Mint
Corn mint has a high menthol content. Menthol has a naturally cooling effect and has been used in ancient China since time immemorial for the treatment of multiple skin conditions.
Sunflower oil
Sunflowers originally come from North and South America. Sunflower oil was used there centuries ago by Native Americans in the treatment of various forms of skin rash.
Organic Aloe butter
Organic Aloe butter makes the skin soft and helps with the absorption of other ingredients into your skin. In addition, it is anti-inflammatory and hydrating.
