Tips for Wearing Fragrance

Fragrance can be found in a variety of scents created from the fragrant essential oils they contain. These essential oils react differently with an individual’s own chemistry to produce a unique and unforgettable, personally trademarked smell. In order to make the most out of the fragrance you wear, there are some valuable tips to follow.

Tip #1: Use all-natural fragrances free of synthetic ingredients and compounds. They are healthier for your skin and are less likely to cause irritation or allergy symptoms.

Tip #2: Avoid overpowering, chemical fragrances that could linger and invade the personal space of others. Subtle scents are the way to go.

Tip #3: Find a fragrance that compliments your skin and natural aroma. Just because a scent smells good on a friend, does not mean it will have the same effect on you.

Tip #4: Apply the fragrance right after a shower or bath. Your moist skin and open pores will soak up the fragrance and absorb it longer.

Tip #5: To experience the fragrance smell to its fullest, avoid using competitively scented soaps and body washes before application.

Tip #6: Apply the fragrance to your pulse points or warmer areas- fold in elbows, back of knees, wrists, cleavage, and neck.

Tip #7: Do not rub in the fragrance or rub your wrists together. It will weaken the scent from lasting.

Tip #8: Spray into the air and walk through the mist. This will LIGHTLY cover the rest of your body with the fragrance.

Tip #9: Dry skin tends to weaken the smell. If you have dryer skin characteristics, slightly more fragrance might be necessary.

Tip #10: Vise Versa, Oily skin will hold onto and enhance a scent. If you have oily skin, remember that less is more.

Keep Healthy with All Natural Beauty Products

Natural is all the rage. We see it advertised everywhere- in stores, on billboards, online. An industry that has significantly caught onto the natural trend is the beauty industry. Their all natural beauty product lines have taken off with great momentum.

Through my research I have found a lot of unanswered questions and uncertainties when it comes to natural beauty products. Common questions are: What are the benefits of using natural beauty products? How do I know what to buy? What ingredients are good for my skin profile? And, where can I purchase all natural beauty products? I have gathered valuable information and answered these important questions for you.

What are the benefits of using all natural beauty products?

Products like natural body wash, natural lip butter, and natural makeup will work wonders for your skin. Natural products are made without the harmful toxins and chemicals that negatively affect your skin or hair. On the surface they help reduce skin irritations or allergic reactions and they diminish the greasy feel that other products leave. The natural products also benefit underneath the surface. Whatever you put on your skin eventually ends up in your body. For instance if you use a generic lotion instead of a natural body butter, your skin will absorb the chemical ingredients in the lotion. They make their way through your system and build up in your body.

Not only do natural products provide benefits but they are able to supply them quicker and more efficiency. Synthetic and artificial ingredients do not, for example, moisturize or cleanse as fast as natural ingredients.

How do I know what to buy?

It is important to know how to determine truly natural beauty products. There is a difference between natural, and 100% Natural. Advertisers have caught on to the all natural popularity and found loop holes in marketing their products to sell. They might add one natural ingredient and list “natural” on the label. Or, they use the term “natural”, taking advantage of those that do not know the difference between having one natural ingredient and producing a 100% Natural product. Natural simply means that ingredients are in their original state; no substances have been added or subtracted. When shopping for natural beauty products, avoid ingredients like mineral oils, petrochemicals, phthalates, silicone, sulfates, and synthetic dyes. Be sure to look for the “100% Natural” label to experience the full benefits of using a natural product.

What ingredients are good for my skin profile?

There are multiple natural ingredients for the many skin types. I have listed a few common needs and the ingredients that will help.

• Moisture- Shea butter, olive leaf, mango extract, beeswax, and sunflower seed oil
• Cleanse and tone- Rose extract, Citric Acid, Lemon peel oil, Mica
• Exfoliate or Regenerate- Pomegranate extract, Apricot oil
• Sooth and Nourish- Aloe juice, chamomile, oat amino acids

Natural beauty products are colored and scented with harmless ingredients too. Carmine and Iron oxides are used for coloring. And, vanilla planifolia fruit extract is an example of an ingredient used to create an earthy, sweet aroma in products like natural body wash or natural deodorant. Other botanical oils are used for aroma as well.

Where can I purchase natural beauty products?

A common place to find a variety of natural beauty products is online. Using a search engine to locate online beauty manufacturers is a good start. Specialty beauty stores in malls or shopping centers tend to have a natural section too. And, another positive movement is natural beauty products becoming more and more available in grocery stores and pharmacies. As long as you verify their true 100% Natural character, they are just as beneficial to purchase, no matter where you go.
