The number-one cause of allergy in skin care products is fragrance. If your skin is aggravated, most dermatologists advise removing scented items to help solve the problem`s origin or merely give your skin a break. This means to appraisal everything you put in your hair and body, from hair spray to cuticle cream. Fragrances, whatever their form, added in perfumes, fragrant plant extracts or essential oils, are a problem for any skin type, especially for those who has problematic skin or allergies like eczema or rosacea. Fragrances are compound of volatile substances and when applied on the skin, they react, and may cause irritation which can be visible or not on the skin’s surface.
Even the fragrances are bad for your skin and can cause damage and itching, almost every cosmetic product contains them, because we shop with our nose, smelling the creams, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, perfumes…
The reason why fragrances are added in cosmetics is because of the natural ingredients in cosmetic formulas. Most of them don`t smell good and are not alluring to the buyers, and fragrances help conceal their unpleasant scents.
