Shaving foam, shaving gel or shaving cream: as a woman, what should I buy for the best shave?

Our skin is sensitive. Anyone who shaves regularly has probably noticed this. Therefore, using a sharp razor on a daily basis can be fairly unpleasant. Consider not only the usual shaving wounds, but also itching, red bumps and shaving irritation. Therefore, in order to make your delicate skin suffer less, it is highly recommended to always use a good shaving product. And no, not all protective equipment available is equally good. This is because an effective shaving product not only protects your skin during the hair removal process itself, but also continues to nourish it afterwards. Want to know if you are using the right product for your skin? Read on quickly to learn the difference between shaving cream, shaving cream and shaving gel and discover my ultimate shaving product!

Shaving foam, shaving gel or shaving cream

Shaving foam, shaving gel or shaving cream: is there a difference?

Loyal fans of our blog will probably shout “Yes!” adamantly after reading this question. In a previous article explaining to you what choosing a good day, night, and shaving cream have to do with each other, we’ve already gone into it. For those who have not yet read this blog article or would like to refresh her memory, I am happy to explain it again.

Shaving cream often contains unnecessary ingredients

Have you noticed that shaving cream is usually much cheaper than shaving cream? Well, there’s a reason for that. By choosing shaving cream, you can indeed save a few euros. but in the end, you will pay this back more than once. With your skin. For example, shaving cream often contains soap and other unnecessary ingredients. All these unnecessary agents can incredibly dry out your skin and cause cracking and chapping. In addition, shaving cream is also a tremendously airy thing. This creates an unsafe protective layer between your skin and the blade.

Shaving creams offer more protection

Shaving creams, on the other hand, are very compact and therefore do offer excellent protection during hair removal. In addition, a great advantage of shaving creams is their transparency. This allows you to see exactly what you are doing, so you do not have to shave at random. Very handy if you often suffer from wounds! Shaving creams for women, by the way, are also sold under the name shaving gels. They are basically the same, but the consistency may differ. From very firm to soft. Basically, you can protect your skin well with both. It’s more a matter of personal preference. When choosing a shaving cream or shaving gel, you can pay attention to the (natural and sustainable) ingredients, the packaging and, of course, the price. For a good shaving cream, you usually pay €10-€15.

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).
