Adding YIONN Raka to your shaving routine.

YIONN Raka is the go-to product if you suffer from red bumps, ingrown hairs, and itching after hair removal.

Raka calms the skin and ensures it has no reason to stress over the ordeal of hair removal.

In this article, we’ll explain it all in detail.

Preparation: First, determine if YIONN Raka is suitable for you.

? Do you suffer from itching, ingrown hairs, or red bumps after hair removal?
? To remove hair, do you use a razor, wax, or do you epilate, or are you doing IPL?
? You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to acetylsalicylic acid?

Can you answer YES to everything?
Then YIONN Raka is suitable for your skin.

Adding Raka to your shaving routine

Good preparation is half the battle. So take a moment to get a clear picture of a proper shaving routine that is guaranteed to give you perfect results.

STEP 1. EXFOLIATE

By exfoliating first, you remove dead skin cells. This allows you to shave closer to the skin with your razor and enjoy a silky-smooth result for longer.
But be careful: don’t use a scrub that is too coarse.

Coarse grains can significantly damage the skin and cause irritation. Choose a fine (preferably organic) scrub, such as YIONN Kjarr.

This provides a gentle exfoliation without damaging the skin, and thanks to its enzymatic action, Kjarr penetrates into the deeper skin layers to remove dead skin cells there as well.

YIONN Kjarr is also safe to use on all body parts and is suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

STEP 2. SHAVING

Shaving your bikini line or armpits? Unlike the hair on your legs and arms, the hair here tends to grow in all directions. By shaving in an X pattern, you catch most hairs in one shaving motion, and you don’t have to stroke over your skin as often to remove all the hair.

This ensures the smoothest result and reduces the chance of irritation and ingrown hairs. Just as important as the right technique is the tool you use.

For women, drugstores have shelves full of brightly colored razors that all have one thing in common: they have 3 to sometimes even 5 blades in the shaving head. More is sometimes better, but definitely not in the case of a razor.

With every shaving motion, 3 to 5 blades pass over your sensitive armpit skin. This gives you 3 to 5 times more chance of micro-cuts and irritation.

Better to choose a Single Blade razor (specially for women). A stainless steel handle with only 1 (sharp) blade in the shaving head. One motion is enough to shave off unwanted hair and put less strain on the skin.

Additionally, a Single Blade razor is a sustainable alternative to the classic plastic disposable razor. A Single Blade razor lasts a lifetime, and the only replaceable part of this razor is the blade. So you directly contribute to reducing the plastic mountain.

The exclusive YIONN Single Blade razor was specially developed for women. This is reflected in the extra-long stainless steel handle, which allows you to effortlessly reach all the way down to your legs. It is available in 2 color variants: a chrome or rose gold version.

STEP 3. AFTERCARE

And once you have that beautiful smooth skin and are proud of the final result? Then don’t forget to pamper and protect it with an aftershave balm.

As much as we want those hairs gone: they are there for a reason. And no matter how gentle we are during the shave… your skin really needs to recover from this process.

Don’t give your skin a reason to be angry, and be extra kind by rewarding it with a lovely aftershave balm. While this aftershave ritual is already standard for men, we women often forget it.

The aftershave balm YIONN Nainn quickly calms your skin, cools, cares for, and restores skin resistance.

This gentle balm is fragrance-free and richly filled with natural ingredients:

✅ Vitamin E strengthens skin resistance

✅ Chamomile relieves the burning sensation and redness

✅ Aloe Vera speeds up the healing of small micro-cuts

✅ Mint oil provides cooling and quickly calms the skin.

Now your skin is ready for the application of YIONN Raka.

STEP 4. APPLYING YIONN RAKA

After applying your aftershave balm (e.g., YIONN Nainn), it’s time to apply YIONN Raka.

Tip: not using an aftershave balm? Then preferably apply Raka at a different time of day than immediately after hair removal. Otherwise, it might cause a stinging sensation. Nothing to worry about and it’s not harmful, but to avoid it, it’s better to choose a different time of day.

Turn the bottle completely upside down in one motion and let a few drops fall onto a cotton pad. There is a “stopper” on the bottle, so it won’t empty all at once when you turn it over. A small squeeze of about 4 seconds ensures the correct dosage.

Then apply the lotion to the skin where hair was removed. You can do this by dabbing or with a rubbing motion: whatever you prefer. It doesn’t matter for the result.

Tip: also run the cotton pad along the cap of the bottle when you turn it back upright. This way, no lotion is wasted, and you ensure your bottle stays clean.

That’s all it takes to add YIONN Raka to your shaving routine and be free from itching, red bumps, and ingrown hairs after hair removal within 3 weeks.

STEP 5. DETERMINE YOUR FREQUENCY

For the first 3 weeks, it is advisable to apply YIONN Raka daily. This way, you experience the maximum results possible for your skin.

After that, you can determine the frequency that is right for your skin. This isn’t the same for everyone. After all, we are all unique, and so are our skins and their need for Raka.

You do this by first applying Raka every other day. Do your discomforts stay away? Great! Then apply Raka every 2 days and see how your skin reacts.

This way, you will naturally find the mode that is right for your skin, and you can adjust the frequency of Raka use accordingly and fit it into your shaving routine.
