Why Do I Avoid Fragrance In My Products??

Hey guys!!!

As I have stated before in a previous post, I don't use skin care and makeup products with fragrance. Why you may ask? I was trying so many popular skin care products that would help acne prone and combination skin and I would notice that at first products would work. After a while it would stop working and break me out. It would be a repeated cycle and I had enough.

As for makeup, I started noticing more and more brands starting coming out with products that contained fragrance. Like for example, a bronzer. Why do you need your bronzer to smell good? Is that really necessary? All I need for my bronzer to do is blend well and make me look bronzed. Don't you? One time I got a L'Oreal eyeshadow product that had a peach scent and I broke out on my crease. Ever since I pay attention to ingredients in makeup products.

After a couple of years of struggling with my skin, cousin introduced me into the world of fragrance free products and after doing some research I realized that fragrances in products are very irritating to the skin and even if it doesn't show on your skin right away it could affect it in the future.

What are some fragrance ingredients you should look out for? You should look for the word FRAGRANCE/PARFUM and any essential oils. Here are some other examples:

Lemon Fruit Extract (citrus limon)
Linanool
Cinnamal
Limonene
Geraniol
Eugenol
Lavender Oil (lavandula angustifolia)
Rose Flower Extract (rose damascena)
Bergamot Oil (citrus bergamia)
Ylang-Ylang Oil
Lime (citrus aurantifolia or citrus medica)
Orange (citrus sinesis)
Tangerine (citrus tangerine)
Peppermint (mentha piperita)
Spearmint (mentha spicata)
Eucalyptus
Cinnamon (cinnamomum)

There are more irritating ingredients out there for sure I will update the list as soon as I find more.

This is not only for people struggle with acne. This is also for you guys who struggle with eczema, rosacea, and many more. You can aggravate a lot of skin conditions with fragrant products.

Now I will end it by saying if your products with fragrance works for you then keep using it. I just wanted to spread some awareness for those who struggle with sensitive, acne prone skin and you have spent a lot of money on products and nothing has worked.

Most importantly, if this still doesn't help your skin issue and you are able to, you should visit a dermatologist.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

Hey guys!!! I saw a review on YouTube on a new mascara and after seeing that I really wanted to try it out. I went and bought the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara in waterproof. I LOVE the Maybelline The Rocket mascara and it is my holy grail, but I always love trying other mascaras and see if it is as good or even better than The Rocket. I really love the wand because I am able to reach the lashes in my inner corner. One important thing to me in a mascara is if the waterproof formula will keep my lashes curled all day without them falling. I am happy to say that my curl stay up all day with this mascara. This is my second Maybelline mascara that I have tried and I am noticing that if I didn't have a good makeup remover it would be really hard to remove. This mascara gave me a little bit of length and good volume. I like to build up my mascaras and this will make my lashes clumpy after the second coat and I don't like the look.. Sometimes even if I am ...
