Shaving your armpits? This is how you “master” this true craftsmanship!
Do you remember the first time you shaved your armpits? It was a bold and adventurous step on the journey from girl to woman.
If there’s one area of your body where you don’t want to slip up with a razor, it’s your armpits. Achieving smooth, hair-free underarms is a task that requires a bit of skill and finesse.
Thankfully, with time and practice, we’ve all become more adept at wielding a razor.
But to ensure a flawless experience—without irritation or ingrown hairs—there are some practical, simple tips to follow.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- A washcloth with mild soap or a gentle exfoliant
- Shaving cream suited to your skin type
- A sharp and clean razor
- A soothing lotion or cream to prevent irritation
7 Tips for Silky Smooth Armpits
Tip 1: Shave in the Evening
Shaving your armpits at night is a good idea. Your underarms are sensitive and need time to recover after shaving. Nighttime provides the perfect opportunity for them to rest and heal, reducing irritation caused by deodorant or clothing friction.
Tip 2: Shave Your Armpits Last
Don’t start shaving as soon as you hop into the shower. Spend a few minutes under the warm water first. The heat softens the hair, making shaving much easier and more effective.
Tip 3: Exfoliate Before Shaving
Exfoliating before you shave is always a great idea. It removes dead skin cells and leaves your skin smooth and clean, helping you achieve an even closer shave while reducing the risk of irritation.
Tip 4: Use Shaving Cream
Always use shaving cream as a protective barrier between your skin and the blade. Select a cream that suits your skin type instead of grabbing just any product from the shelf. There are creams specially formulated for dry, oily, or sensitive skin—choose wisely for the best results.
Tip 5: Opt for a Quality Razor
Pick a razor with as few blades as possible. Multi-blade razors lift the hair and cut it below the skin, which can lead to smooth results initially but also increases the likelihood of irritation and ingrown hairs. If you can, borrow your dad’s old-fashioned safety razor for the ultimate smoothness without the irritation.
Tip 6: Stretch Your Skin Tight and Shave Gently
Gently pull your skin taut while shaving to get better access to the area. Use gentle, deliberate strokes and avoid going over the same spot repeatedly to prevent irritation.
Tip 7: Care for Your Skin Post-Shave
After shaving, pamper your skin with a hydrating body cream or lotion. Avoid alcohol-based products immediately after shaving, as these can sting and cause further irritation.

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).
