Shaving, it seems like such a simple job. All you need is a razor and shaving cream, right? If you often suffer from itching, red bumps and ingrown hairs and inflammation after shaving, then you know it’s not that simple. Shaving itself may be easy, but your skin, unfortunately, is anything but happy about it. The good news is that there is nothing wrong with your skin. This one simply needs a little more attention before, during and after shaving. Using a simple shaving routine – which you incorporate into your daily grooming routine – you can say goodbye to shaving irritation for good. How exactly to do that, I’ll be happy to explain.

Step 1: Cleanse your skin with a natural scrub

Before you grab your razor, it is important to prepare your skin. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, dirt and bacteria. By removing these first, you reduce the chances of unwanted invaders entering your skin after shaving. Because, by shaving you create tiny wounds in your skin. And even though they are small, chances are that dead skin cells, residual dirt or bacteria will cause irritation or inflammation. → For effective exfoliation, YIONN has developed a natural 2-in-1 scrub and exfoliator: KJARR. The scrub is plastic-free, vegan-friendly and – thanks to its shea butter base – has a wonderfully full, soft texture. Shop KJARR here.

Step 2: Protect with a transparent shaving cream

After exfoliating, your skin is ready for shaving. While shaving, however, it is necessary to protect your skin. You do this by using a shaving cream. Using a shaving cream puts a thin protective layer on your skin. This prevents wounds and also nourishes your skin while shaving. Always make sure your shaving cream is transparent. This way, you can clearly see what you are doing and avoid nasty cuts. → For while shaving, YIONN has developed a line of hypoallergenic shaving creams: the YIONN cream shaves. The shaving creams are transparent, soap-free and available in a variety of fragrance options. Shop our cream shaves here.

Step 3: Shave with a single-blade razor

If you are serious about shaving, it is necessary to say goodbye to disposable plastic blades. By switching to a single-blade razor, you’re not only being sustainable, you’re also doing your skin a big favor. The blades of a single-blade razor are replaceable, so you can choose blades that are matched in sharpness to your soft female skin. A single-blade razor also shaves closer to your skin, allowing hairs to be shaved without difficulty, without damaging or tearing the hair. This prevents ingrown hairs. → You only need to invest in a single-blade razor once, as you only need to replace the razor blade over time. You shop your durable single-blade razor here.

Step 4: Soothe your skin after shaving with an aftershave balm

Your skin also needs extra attention after shaving to prevent shaving irritation. You take care of your skin after shaving with an aftershave balm. This contains ingredients that help repair your skin and prevent itching, red skin and burning. Also, a good aftershave balm moisturizes your skin so that it is better able to recover after a shave. Make sure your aftershave balm does not contain perfume to avoid an allergic reaction. Your skin is especially sensitive to unnecessary additives in personal care products such as perfumes and dyes after shaving. → For taking care of your skin after shaving, YIONN has developed an aftershave balm tailored to sensitive, women’s skin: NÁINN. The balm contains vitamin E, mint oil and aloe vera and is completely perfume-free. Shop NÁINN here.

Step 5: Prevent irritation and care for your skin with an after care lotion

Not only before and after a shave does your skin need extra attention if you want a trouble-free shave. Even in your daily care, your skin requires care. You do this with the help of an aftercare lotion. An aftercare lotion has several functions. This effectively removes dead skin cells daily, allowing hairs to grow back out of your skin without blockages after shaving. This will prevent ingrown hairs. An aftercare lotion also has an itching effect and evens out the skin (making red bumps disappear). → YIONN has developed a unique rosewater-based aftercare lotion that can be used as needed after 3 weeks of daily use: RAKA. The lotion is enriched with natural ingredients such as willow bark and camphor oil that help repair the skin. Shop RAKA here.
