Whether you see your body hair as desirable or undesirable, there are always moments when you want to enjoy smooth, shaved skin.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n\n

If you’re reading this, then like most women, you suffer from razor burn and you’ve already tried a lot…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Actually, you don’t really believe in it anymore…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCarefree shaving just isn’t for me,\u201d I can hear you thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before you give up on shaving altogether, I want to share my successful shaving routine with you. I promise you’ll be amazed by the results. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

How do I tackle shaving without red bumps, itching, and ingrown hairs<\/a>? In short, I do that by: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Exfoliating my skin weekly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Always shaving with a shave cream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Using a sustainable single-blade razor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Using a female-friendly aftershave balm after shaving<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Using YIONN Raka several times a week<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to find out more. I’d love to tell you more about my shaving routine. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n\n

Exfoliating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you think of a shaving routine, you probably mostly think of the moment of shaving itself. But to say goodbye to razor burn for good, you need to take good care of your skin not just during shaving, but also before and after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exfoliating ensures good skin condition. It keeps your skin healthy and well-hydrated. Moreover, exfoliating ensures that dead skin cells are removed and it keeps the hair follicle free of blockages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This significantly reduces the chance of red bumps, inflammation, and ingrown hairs.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n\n

How do you use the YIONN scrub?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have developed the ultimate scrub and peel for women: YIONN Kjarr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kjarr is a scrub and peel in one. You apply the scrub with circular motions and let it sit for a few minutes. Then you rinse it off. We recommend exfoliating a maximum of 2 times per week for the best results. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n\n

Using a shave cream<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What do you currently use when shaving?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are various ‘tools’ you can use. In any case, make sure you don’t use your boyfriend’s shaving foam or shampoo or shower gel while shaving; these are not suitable for sensitive female skin. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n
\"IMG_9093\"<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

I always choose a shave cream that is transparent (so I can clearly see what I’m doing) and that nourishes and hydrates my skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shave cream also has a protective function. It forms a protective layer, as it were, between your skin and the razor. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n\n

Meet the YIONN cream shaves.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A shave cream that sticks well to the skin (handy for in the shower), nourishes the skin, and contains only natural ingredients\u2014those are the YIONN cream shaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently available in 3 varieties: R\u00f3sar and Mandar\u00edn are scented with essential oils, and \u00c1n is a fragrance-free shave balm.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n\n

Shaving with a single-blade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The fact that I can shave (daily) without irritation is partly thanks to my razor. I replaced the disposable and reusable razors with a single-blade razor. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n
\"IMG_0093\"<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

The razor consists of a steel handle and replaceable stainless steel blades. I choose blades with a sharpness tailored to soft female skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This razor is sustainable to use and reduces the chance of ingrown hairs and itching. It took some getting used to at first, but now I wouldn’t want anything else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The YIONN razor: shaves close to the skin with a sharp blade, so hairs are shaved without any problems, without damaging or tearing the hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You make a one-time investment in the steel handle and only replace the exchangeable blades. Sustainable and plastic-free. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n\n

Using a female-friendly aftershave balm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After shaving, I use an aftershave balm that is tailored to sensitive female skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good aftershave balm prevents redness, itching, a burning sensation, and dried-out skin after shaving. You use a balm before applying your usual body cream and deodorant. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n
\"IMG_9764\"<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n\n

What you can expect from the YIONN aftershave balm:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e1inn is a balm with added Vitamin E specifically for women. It cools the skin using mint and combats itching thanks to the addition of cinnamon, among other things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, N\u00e1inn softens, hydrates, and increases your skin’s resistance without making it greasy. After applying, let the aftershave balm sink in for a moment. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n\n

Applying YIONN Raka for several days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I swear by using YIONN Raka. Raka is a fragrance-free lotion that you apply daily in the first few weeks. Even on the days you don’t shave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YIONN Raka has anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties and disinfects. It makes hairs soft and keeps the hair follicle open thanks to its light exfoliating effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Raka is the foundation of my shaving routine.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n
\"L1790733-1\"<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n\n

How I use the Raka lotion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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 sink in for a few minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the lotion contains alcohol, I don’t apply it immediately after shaving, but daily in the evening. I do the shaving in the morning. You can of course reverse this if that works better for you. Or wait 5 minutes to apply after a shave to prevent stinging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, you no longer need to apply the Raka lotion daily, but you can gradually reduce it to 3 or 4 times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can try out what works best for you. Keep a close eye on what your skin needs. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n\n

How did I discover this shaving routine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If anyone can call themselves a shaving expert after years of trying and testing, it’s me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasted a lot of time and money using shaving products that didn’t give me the results they promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continued to suffer from red bumps, itching, and ingrown hairs. Until I took matters into my own hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did extensive research into shaving, female skin, and possible solutions. Everything I learned and discovered came together in my first shaving lotion: YIONN Raka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have since expanded considerably, and you don’t have to go down the same long, painful road to find a shaving routine that works.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n

\n Whether or not to shave is a choice; fortunately, shaving irritation is now one too!\n\t\t<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

YIONN has developed the perfect product for every step in your shaving routine!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’re fed up with it. Time and again, those red bumps, ingrown hairs, and itching after hair removal on your bikini line, armpits, and legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n You feel frustrated and anything but sexy. No woman should have to feel that way. And that includes you.First of all, I want to reassure\n you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your skin. \n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n It’s actually just doing what it’s supposed to do. It reacts to the stress of hair removal, which causes all sorts of unwanted side effects,\n such as itching and red bumps. \n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Not the result we women want, so we need to give our skin and nature a helping hand.And that is exactly what YIONN products\n do!\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4,629+ Excellent Trustpilot reviews<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

(Trustscore 4.6 out of 5)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n YIONN Raka is truly a top product! A gentle solution for those annoying, painful ingrown hairs, especially when combined with the scrub. Cindy<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n I thought: you know what, I’ll just give it a try! OMG!!! I really should have done that sooner. I’m 37 now and for the first time, I dare to wear a bikini bottom with pride\n. What a miracle cure! Not a single bit of irritation to be found. It’s still bizarre. And I really suffered from it. Nikkie zijlstra<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n A product that does what it promises, easy to use. I now have almost all the products and won’t use anything else. Alice<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\tAfter 2 weeks, I already noticed a difference. Almost no bumps and itching anymore after shaving. I’m definitely going to try more products.<\/em>Patricia Tikar<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\tI’ve often used things like this but they never helped me, even though others were always satisfied with them, and I felt the same about\n this product too, but I ordered it anyway and it took a bit longer for me, but it definitely helped!<\/em>Maria Ilgun<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Much less irritation and bumps. The shaving gel and Raka are truly my favorites; last time I bought shaving foam out of necessity and immediately got bumps\n and irritation again… Angelique<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Free from your shaving irritation within 3 weeks: or your money back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

That is my promise to you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

From certified nurse to hair removal expert:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m Wendy, the founder of YIONN. I know better than anyone what it’s like to go through life with shaving discomforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n After desperately trying all sorts of ways and remedies for red shaving bumps and ingrown hairs and spending a lot of money, I was\n sick of it.I decided to find a solution for my shaving irritation myself that actually worked, and I succeeded!\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n I developed Raka, a caring lotion based on rose water, camphor, and willow bark. By applying a thin layer to the problem area,\n it easily and quickly calms the skin after hair removal, prevents red bumps, and lets the hair grow out again\u2014instead of in.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with that, I could finally say goodbye to my insecurity and discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hallelujah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n When it later turned out that Raka worked not only for me but also for many other women, I started creating several other products around it\n that can make hair removal a pleasant experience again.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n And because I am so convinced of how it works and I don’t want to keep your money in the rare case that you aren’t satisfied, I came up with\n the unique YIONN 30-day money-back guarantee<\/strong> (a guarantee you normally\n never get on hygiene products).\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
