Whether you see body hair as desirable or undesirable, there are always times when you want to enjoy smooth, shaved skin.

If you are reading this then like most women you suffer from shaving irritation and have already tried a lot….

Actually, you don’t believe in it anymore….

“Carefree shaving just isn’t for me” I hear you thinking.

But, before you give up shaving altogether, I want to share with you my successful shaving routine. I promise you will be amazed at the results.

How do I approach shaving without red bumps, itching and ingrown hairs? I briefly do that by:

1. Exfoliating my skin weekly

2. Always shave with a shaving cream

3. Use a durable single-blade razor

4. Use a woman-friendly aftershave balm after shaving

5. Multi-day use of YIONN Raka.

Above all, read on. I like to tell you more about my shaving routine.

Scrubbing

When you think of a shaving routine, you probably think mostly of the moment of shaving itself. But, to get rid of shaving irritation for good, you need to take good care of your skin not only during shaving, but also before and after.

By exfoliating, you ensure good skin condition. It keeps your skin healthy and well hydrated. In addition, exfoliating removes dead skin cells and keeps the hair root free of blockages.

This significantly reduces the risk of red bumps, inflammation and ingrown hairs.

How do you use the YIONN scrub?

I have developed the ultimate scrub and exfoliator for women: YIONN Kjarr.

Kjarr is a scrub and exfoliator in one. You apply the scrub with circular motions and leave it on for a few minutes. Then rinse it off. We recommend exfoliating up to 2 times a week for best results.

Using a shaving cream

What do you currently use when shaving?

There are several “tools” you can use. In any case, make sure not to use your friend’s shaving cream or shampoo or shower gel while shaving, they are not suitable for sensitive women’s skin.

I always choose a shaving cream that is transparent (so I can easily see what I’m doing) and cares for and moisturizes my skin.

A shaving cream also has a protective function. It forms a protective layer, so to speak, between your skin and the razor.

Meet the cream shaves from YIONN.

A shaving cream that sticks well to the skin (handy for in the shower), cares for the skin, contains only natural ingredients, those are YIONN’s cream shaves.

Currently available in 3 varieties: Rósar and Mandarín are scented with essential oils and Án is a fragrance-free shaving balm.

Shaving with single-blade

The fact that I can shave (daily) without irritation is partly due to my razor. I replaced the disposable and reusable razors with a single-blade razor.

The razor consists of a steel holder and interchangeable stainless steel razor blades. I choose blades whose sharpness is tailored to women’s soft skin.

This razor is durable to use and reduces the risk of ingrown hairs and itching. It took some getting used to at first, but now I don’t want anything else.

The YIONN razor: shaves with a sharp blade close to the skin, shaving hairs without difficulty, without damaging or tearing the hair.

You invest once in the steel holder and renew only the interchangeable blades. Sustainable and plastic-free.

Using a woman-friendly aftershave balm

After shaving, I use an aftershave balm tailored to sensitive women’s skin.

A good aftershave balm prevents redness, itching, burning and parched skin after shaving. You use a balm before applying your usual body cream and deodorant.

What to expect from the YIONN aftershave balm:

Náinn is a balm with added Vitamin E especially for women. It cools the skin with the help of mint and combats itching thanks to the addition of cinnamon, among other ingredients.

Moreover, Náinn softens, moisturizes and increases the resistance of your skin without making it greasy. After application, let the aftershave balm soak in for a while.

Multi-day YIONN Raka application

I swear by using YIONN Raka. Raka is a perfume-free lotion that you apply daily for the first few weeks. Even on the days you don’t shave.

YIONN Raka has anti-inflammatory, itching and disinfecting effects. It softens hairs and keeps the hair root canal open thanks to its slightly exfoliating action.

Using Raka is the foundation of my shaving routine.

How I use the Raka lotion:

I apply Raka using a washable cotton pad to the area I want to shave. Such as legs, bikini line and armpits. I don’t rinse it off, but let it soak in for a few minutes.

Because the lotion contains alcohol, I do not apply immediately after shaving, but daily in the evening. I do the shaving in the morning. You can also reverse this, of course, if that works better for you. Or wait 5 minutes to apply after a shave to avoid stinging.

Over time, you no longer need to apply the Raka lotion daily; you can slowly phase it out to 3 or 4 times a week.

You can try out for yourself what works best for you. Keep a close eye on what your skin needs.

How I discovered this shaving routine?

If anyone can call himself a shaving expert after years of trying and testing it is me.

I wasted a lot of time and money using shaving products that did not give me the results they promised.

I continued to suffer from red bumps, itching and ingrown hairs. Until I took matters into my own hands.

I did extensive research on shaving, women’s skin and possible solutions. Everything I learned and discovered came together in my first shaving lotion: YIONN Raka.

Meanwhile, I’ve expanded considerably and you don’t have to go down the same long, painful road to find a shaving routine that works.
