Before, during and after shaving: grooming your bikini line
Whether you only remove the hairs visible when wearing underwear or go for completely bald: if you shave down under, proper skin care is a must. After all, shaving your bikini line is quite a drain on your sensitive skin. Fortunately, this does not mean that we women should then just not shave. It does mean we need to give our skin a hand with proper care before, during and after. With this, you hydrate your skin and help it recover. It also prevents red bumps, itching and ingrown hairs. How to care for your skin before, during and after shaving your bikini line I’d like to explain below.
Step 1: Clean!
Before you shave your bikini line, it is important to cleanse your skin properly. This does not necessarily have to be immediately before shaving, but may be. I recommend cleansing properly at least 2-3 per week using a mild scrub. In fact, exfoliating ensures that your skin is free of dead skin cells, dirt, sweat and soap residue. YIONN’s Kjarr scrub and peel also removes bacteria and fungi. The result is deeply cleansed skin that also feels super soft and ready for another shave.
Step 2: Protect your skin
Another important step to take before shaving is to protect your skin. You do this by applying a transparent shaving cream. You first moisten your skin and then thinly apply your shaving cream to the areas where you want to shave your bikini line. Using a transparent shaving cream will not only protect your skin from your razor, but will also keep it from drying out and soften your hairs. And because the shaving cream is transparent, you can easily see where you are shaving. This reduces the chance of shaving wounds. YIONN has several hypoallergenic, transparent shaving creams for you. They last a nice long time and are easy to apply. Choose your favorite scent and shave away.
Step 3: Shave away
Now that your skin is properly cleaned and provided with the proper protection, you can start shaving your bikini line. Which razor you use is a personal choice, but I recommend using a single-blade razor – also called a saftey razor. It is also a must to always use a clean, sharp razor. So replace your blades on time. A single-blade razor has, as the name gives away: one razor blade. This has the advantage of putting less strain on your skin. It also cuts your hair more neatly, reducing the chance of ingrown hairs. YIONN’s single-blade razor is suitable for shaving all body parts, including your bikini line. It has a modern, slim design that lets you shave even hard-to-reach areas effortlessly. Extra tips: keep your skin taut while shaving, this reduces the risk of shaving wounds. I also recommend that if your hairs are longer than 0.5-1 cm, trim them first. This gives a nicer shave.
Step 4: Soothe your bikini line with an aftershave balm
After shaving your bikini line, you’re not quite done. In fact, after shaving, you should care for your skin with an aftershave balm. This allows your skin to recover faster from shaving. This will also prevent itching and any redness will go away faster. YIONN’s aftershave balm has a delicious, subtle minty scent and contains chamomile and aloe vera, among other ingredients, that instantly restore your skin. After application, your skin immediately feels calm and wonderfully nourished.
Step 5: Avoid irritation
ls you, like most women, suffer from red bumps and ingrown hairs after shaving your bikini line, I have one last step for you. And that’s using YIONN’s Raka treatment lotion. I developed this lotion especially for women who want hassle-free hair removal. In fact, shaving irritation is a common problem. In particular, red bumps are a frustration for many women. And, of course, if you regularly shave your bikini line, you’re not looking forward to unsightly bumps. Or worse, ingrown hairs. These are not only disfiguring, but can also be very painful. To prevent irritation after shaving your bikini line, I recommend you start using the Raka treatment lotion daily. You will soon see results – and I have the reviews to prove it – and after 3 weeks you can phase out the use as needed. The Raka treatment lotion prevents when hairs grow back from causing irritation. The lotion also removes dead skin cells, accelerates the healing of minor wounds and quiets itching. The result is calm skin without irritation. Every day. P.S.: Do you prefer to wax or epilate your bikini line? You can, of course, do the same. Then I recommend following steps 1, 4 and 5. You can also apply the Nainn aftershave balm in the days before waxing or tweezing to prepare your skin for hair removal. Would you like to receive more useful and interesting beauty tips?

To shave or not to shave is a choice, shaving irritation now thankfully also!
YIONN has developed the perfect product for every step of your shaving routine!
You’re fed up. Those annoying red bumps, ingrown hairs, and itching after shaving your bikini line, underarms, and legs. It leaves you feeling frustrated and anything but confident.
No woman should ever feel that way, and neither should you!
First, let me reassure you: there’s nothing wrong with your skin. Your skin is simply doing what it’s designed to do, reacting to the stress of shaving, which leads to unwanted side effects like itching and red bumps.
That’s not the result we women want, so we need to give our skin and nature a little extra help. And that’s exactly what YIONN products are designed to do!

Get rid of your shaving irritation within 3 weeks: or your money back
That is my promise to you!
From registered nurse to hair removal expert:
I am Wendy, the founder of YIONN.
I know better than anyone what it is like to go through life with shaving discomfort.
After desperately trying every possible way and remedy for red razor bumps and ingrown hairs, I was fed up.
I decided to find a solution to my shaving irritations that worked and it did!
I developed Raka, a caring lotion based on rose water, camphor and willow bark, which, by applying thinly to the problem area, easily and quickly calms the skin after hair removal, prevents red bumps and allows the hairs to grow out – instead of in – again.
And with that, I could finally say goodbye to my insecurities and discomforts.
Hallelujah.
When it later turned out that Raka was not only for me, but also for many other women, I started making several other products around it that can make hair removal a pleasant experience again.
And because I’m so convinced it works and I don’t want to keep your money in the rare case you’re not satisfied with it I came up with the unique YIONN within 30 days money-back guarantee (a guarantee you never normally get on hygiene products).
