Scrubbing: 9 amazing benefits
Just like cleansing and moisturizing, exfoliating should be a standard step in your beauty routine. It’s incredibly relaxing and often exactly what your skin needs to transform from pretty to radiant.
But the big question is: is it really necessary?
To help answer that, I’ve outlined the benefits of regular exfoliation.
The benefits of exfoliation
A baby-soft complexion is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of exfoliating.
But regularly scrubbing your face and body offers so much more—both in the short and long term.
Here’s what exfoliation can do for you:
✋ Exfoliating removes dead skin cells
The primary and most obvious reason to exfoliate is to remove dead skin cells. This instantly leaves your skin feeling super smooth.
✋ Exfoliating helps prevent ingrown hairs
Without exfoliation, dead skin cells can build up and block hair follicles, making it harder for new hairs to emerge.
Exfoliating keeps the skin clean and hair follicles open, reducing the chance of ingrown hairs.
✋ Exfoliating gives your skin a healthy glow
Dead skin cells can give your skin a dull, ashy appearance.
A good exfoliation removes this layer and boosts blood circulation, promoting a healthy glow. Improved circulation can also help reduce the appearance of cellulite when using body scrubs.
✋ Exfoliating slows down the aging process
Exfoliation stimulates the production of new skin cells, which can slow down the aging process. Plus, it leaves your skin looking fresh and youthful.
✋ Exfoliating reduces pigmentation spots
Dead skin cells and dirt buildup can lead to skin irritation and an excess of melanin, resulting in visible pigmentation spots. Regular exfoliation can help fade these blemishes over time.
✋ Exfoliating enhances the absorption of skincare products
If you don’t exfoliate regularly, a barrier of dead skin cells can prevent your skincare products from penetrating properly.
Light exfoliation not only gives you a clean and refreshed complexion but also ensures that your other beauty products are absorbed more effectively. A win-win!
✋ Exfoliating fights impurities
Dead skin cells and bacteria buildup can clog pores, leading to breakouts, blackheads, and other blemishes.
Gentle exfoliation removes this excess buildup and clears dirt from deep within your pores.
✋ Exfoliating preps your skin for an even tan
A smooth, clean skin surface is essential for achieving an even tan. Exfoliate before sunbathing, preferably the day before, to avoid redness and pigmentation issues.
Tip! Want to make your hard-earned tan last longer? Exfoliate gently to remove dead skin cells without stripping away too much of your bronzed glow.
✋ Exfoliating is a perfect pampering moment
A little extra “me time” is always welcome! Incorporating exfoliation into your routine gives both your skin and yourself a few minutes of indulgence.
Is Exfoliating Really Necessary?
So, is exfoliation a must? If you ask me, absolutely! And after discovering the benefits, I think you’ll agree.
However, it’s important to choose the right exfoliant. Avoid scrubs with ingredients that can irritate or dry out your skin. Always opt for scrubs with natural ingredients and nourishing properties.
For example, YIONN Kjarr is a scrub and peel made with shea butter, a plant-based fat extracted from the seeds of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree in Africa.
Shea butter is known for its hydrating properties and helps reduce redness and swelling. It’s ideal for exfoliating sensitive areas like your bikini line, underarms, and legs.
Exfoliating sensitive areas
Speaking of sensitive areas, exfoliating benefits your entire body—from your face to your legs and even intimate zones like your bikini line.
Since the skin in these areas differs from, say, the skin on your face, it’s smart to choose a scrub designed specifically for the area you’re targeting.
Use a facial scrub for your face, a hand scrub for your hands, and a specialized scrub for sensitive areas like your bikini line.
YIONN Kjarr is a natural scrub made with finely ground apricot kernels and Bacillus Ferment. It’s suitable for all skin types, making it perfect for achieving smooth skin while preventing ingrown hairs.
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!

I often used such things but with me it never helped while others were always satisfied with it and I had exactly the same with this product, but had ordered it anyway and it took a little longer with me but it definitely helped!

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).
