So how many of us start our days with a couple sprays or dabs of our favorite perfume? To tell you the truth I used to do this almost everyday and I know most of you do too. What you don’t know is that you could be causing harm to yourself and most people how live with you by doing this. I know what your thinking, how could my favorite perfume be causing anyone harm? This is what I found out about perfumes and what they do to your body.
Let’s think about this for a minute, what are perfumes made out of? Chemicals! Since when do we like the idea of putting chemicals that can cause harm on our bodies? Most of the times we try to stay away from chemicals but everyday thousands of people spray them directly on their skin.
The compounds in perfume that are harmful are fragrance chemicals. When you spray your ladies perfume these compounds evaporate into the air or on your skin. The first point of entry is your skin. But what about the people around you that might breath in a little? This is how these harmful chemicals get into us.
How many of you that use ladies perfume regularly have someone around you that has very bad sinus and allergy problems? It is a proven fact that two percent of the population suffer from an allergy caused by a fragrance. Some perfumes and fragrances can cause serious problems such as cancer, headaches, forgetfulness, and birth defects.
Take into mind that perfume might not be the cause of some of these symptoms but if it is and you can ride your house or body of these toxins causing some of these problems then so be it. Everyone reacts different to different fragrances but it is worth looking into to see if maybe some of your health problems can be solved.
