Fragrances. Who doesn’t love them? And who doesn’t want to smell nice and be around people who smell nice? No wonder, fragrances are a huge business. But are fragrances required in skin care or anti-aging products.
We all know that they are present in these products. Just smell your skin care products. You will find that they smell nice. So, there is a fragrance. Now check out if the fragrance is listed as one of the ingredients on the label.
You may be thinking so what if there are fragrances in your skincare products.
Well, let me tell you there is plenty wrong if there are fragrances in these products.
Well, let’s see what a fragrance is. It is something that smells great. Fine. But you also need to know that these wonderful smells are the result of synthetically produced chemicals.
There are more than 4000 fragrances that exist. Some of them are actually dangerous for you. Some have not been tested to make sure they are safe. And for some, no one knows how harmful they can be.
If you don’t know whether a chemical is safe for your skin or not, you wouldn’t want to put them on your skin. Various skincare products including moisturizers, creams, lotions, anti-aging products, masks, gels, all contain these chemicals. And no one knows whether they are safe or not. And many actually consider them to be harmful.
Fragrances are exactly that. Harmful chemicals. They can lead to allergies and skin reactions. And that’s not all. They can do much more harm than that.
Fragrances are used in skincare and anti-aging products because they help sell them more. They don’t make these products work better. The truth actually is that many of the top brand names do nothing for your skin. Or even if they do, it is very little.
You may want to know if there is any difference between using perfume and using a skincare product with a fragrance in it. Well, if we see it one way, they are both fragrances, after all. But the difference is that when using a perfume, you use a little amount of it and just dab it slightly. One the other hand, when you use a face cream or a body lotion, you are rubbing it all over your face, neck, and body. What’s essentially happening here is that it is being absorbed by your skin in large amounts and over a long period of time.
You will find that the best skincare products do not use fragrances. In fact, you probably also don’t know that the top branded companies manufacturing these skincare products are not the ones that have the best products.
A small company, you probably have never heard about is probably making the best skincare products and that too without any fragrances!
