Fragrance Free Skincare — Is It Really Better?
Written by man on July 1st, 2009 in Uncategorized.
These days there is a range of fragrance free skincare products available, both in supermarkets and drug stores. Why is there an increasing demand for these products and why should we seriously consider buying them? After all they don’t seem as attractive as products that have a lovely and inviting smell. There are several reasons why a product without fragrance is better for you and we’ll look at these below.
Fragrance free products are not only better for your skin, but for your health as well. This is because that they contain less chemical ingredients that can leach through the skin and lodge in the fatty tissues of the body. Once in there they are hard to remove, potentially leading to diseases such as cancer.
Use of skincare with added frangrance contributes to skin irritation and inflammation and can cause skin allergies. If you have sensitive skin, a fragrace based product can cause a severe reaction which may lead to skin rupturing and bleeding. Those with sensitive skin should ensure any product they choose contains no trace of fragrance or any other chemical ingredient.
One of the greatest advantages of buying products without added fragrace is that the whole family can safely use them. This includes children or anyone with sensitive skin or other skin problems. So consider who will be using any product before buying and choose appropriately.
Some products that include different fragrances can also cause a reaction when inhaled and therefore causing an internal allergy such as sneezing, coughing, headaches and runny nose. It is very important to know if you have an allergy to any of the chemicals that these products are mixed with as not to suffer with any of these symptoms. Whereas with fragrance free products, there is never a problem with this type of reaction.
You may well ask yourself why manufacturers bother to add frangrance to their products given the amount of trouble they can cause. The answer is simple, pleasant smelling products sell a lot better than those with no aroma at all. It’s all to do with the marketing.
If you are concerned about chemicals in skincare products, it would be a good idea to have a simple allergy test performed by your doctor. Whatever the results, you can enjoy peace of mind by simply making sure you select fragrance free skincare products every time. There is a good choice of these products now available such as body lotions, face creams, body washes, soaps and natural products scented with natural aromatherapy oils.
