3 Reasons to Avoid Fragrance in Skincare
Reason #1: Allergies
Fragrance is one of the most common causes of contact dermatitis, a type of eczema caused by direct contact with a substance that triggers an allergic reaction.
Reason #2: Irritation
Fragrance can cause irritation if you have an inflammatory skin condition or if your skin is healing. Anyone who experiences rosacea, eczema, or has recently had a procedure should avoid fragrance in their skin care regime.
Reason #3: Zero Benefits
There are NO benefits to including fragrance in skin care products. It may make them smell pretty, but the risk to your skin health isn’t worth it.
So What Should You Use?
- Stick to fragrance-free skincare products, like Doctor Rogers.
- Get your fragrance fix from non-toxic perfumes and candles that won’t irritate your skin.
