How to Wear Perfume if You Are Sensitive to Scents

You may love the effect that a great perfume has on you, but if you are allergic or sensitive to scents, then you may have a hard time finding perfume that works for you. In your case, you will want to avoid chemical perfumes and look for a more natural solution in the form of hypoallergenic perfumes and scents.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Look for natural perfumes. You will have to avoid a lot of the big brands, but unfortunately most modern perfumes contain harsh chemicals.
2. Check for the word “hypoallergenic” before you let anything touch your sensitive skin. These products should prove a bit milder for your sensitive self.
3. Do an online search to find local stores or online retailers who sell natural perfumes.
4. Look for perfumes that use essential oils in a diluted form or other natural alternatives.

Tips & Warnings

• Natural perfumes are also more likely to be cruelty-free. Add this to your list of things to look for when you buy perfumes.
• Stop wearing your scent immediately if you experience any discomfort after putting it on, including skin irritation or respiratory distress.
