Natural Perfumes [By: Ursula McLean]

Those with sensitive skin listen up: there are natural perfumes out there that may work for you!
Perfume is wonderful, but if you are allergic to it you can’t enjoy wearing perfume or even going to the perfume counter to try some out. You are simply stuck with your body’s natural perfume and your deodorant, which may not have a particular scent to it. The only thing worse than sneezing and sniffling when you are anywhere near perfume is if you have had allergic reactions to perfume on your skin. It can leave red bumpy marks on your skin (like that of a rash) wherever you put it. You might have just said, oh well, I have sensitive skin and just can’t wear perfume.
You do not need to give up. There are plenty of good, talented and skilled people out there making perfumes just for you. There are perfumes for those with sensitive skin and those who are allergic to perfume. You can find perfume that will not make you sneeze or break out.
What you need to look for are natural perfumes. It is now much easier to find natural perfumes with the increase in demand for more natural products of all kinds. Natural perfumes are also great if you are worried about any additives that you can’t even pronounce, let alone know what they are. Natural perfumes can include searching for organic perfumes, organic essential oils, natural essential oils, and more.
Natural Essential Oil Mixed Perfume –
There are some companies that will allow you to mix different essential oils together to get a perfume that you like. They will then dilute that mixture to make it work as perfume for you. There are so many different types of essential oils out there and most of them come from plants and flowers. You can even search and purchase a do it yourself perfume kit online so you can create your own perfume and experiment with different kinds of perfume that you actually make on your own – and it is all made with natural essential oils.
One example of a do it yourself perfume kit is this –
The kit should come with the most common scents of perfume that you would be able to find on store shelves, such as citrus, floral, musk, and sweet. The do it yourself perfume kit should also come with directions on how to mix the ingredients as well as explanations on why you need to mix certain ingredients together to get the perfume you want out of it. Most of these perfume kits will come with five milliliter bottles of the different essential oils so you can mix some of them together to get the perfume you want.
A do it yourself perfume kit will also make a great gift for anyone from those who wear perfume on a daily basis to those who can’t wear perfume because they are allergic to it.
What If You Just Don’t Want To Do It Yourself?
Hey, sometimes we just do not want to experiment with different essential oils and try to make our own natural perfume. You can also buy natural perfume that has already been made for you. However do you know what to look for in a good, all natural perfume? Before you start searching for some natural perfume there are some things that you need to look for first.
