Why You Should Not Apply Perfume To These 5 Parts Of Your Body

Applying perfume is what some people like doing, but there are some parts of the body that you should not apply perfume.

Here are five parts of your body where perfume should not be applied and why.

Eyes

Spraying perfume near your eyes can cause severe irritation, redness, and even temporary vision problems due to the alcohol and chemicals in the fragrance. Always ensure to spray perfume away from your face to avoid any chance of it getting into your eyes.

Hair

Spraying perfume directly onto your hair can be damaging. The alcohol in perfumes can dry out your hair, making it brittle and causing split ends.

 If you want your hair to smell nice, opt for hair mists or products specifically designed for hair that contain less alcohol and are more hydrating. It would be recalled that Michael Jackson got his hair on fire during a recording of a Pepsi Advert in the eighties on account of the interaction between the chemicals he had applied on his hair and the elements in the studio.

Hands

The skin on your hands can get irritated, and because we frequently touch our faces and eyes, there’s a high risk of transferring the perfume to these sensitive areas, potentially causing irritation.

Also, hand washing throughout the day can quickly remove the fragrance, rendering the application pointless.

Armpits

Applying perfume to your armpits might seem like a good idea to combat body odour, but it’s not recommended.

The skin in your armpits is particularly sensitive, and spraying perfume there can lead to irritation, especially right after shaving. Instead, stick to deodorants and antiperspirants designed for underarm use, as these products are formulated to reduce odour without causing irritation.

Genitals

The genital area is another zone where perfume should never be applied. The skin is extremely sensitive, and fragrances can cause irritation, allergic reactions, and discomfort. It’s important to maintain the natural balance of the skin in this area without introducing harsh chemicals found in perfumes.
