Perfume and Cologne Tip

Did you know that most perfumes and colognes on the market today could cause serious problems, including allergies, birth defects, and even cancer.

Unfortunately, most people don't know what they're exposing their body to. Two of the chemicals used are phthalates and artificial musks. Phthalates are extremely common in fragrances. Inside your body, they act as a powerful estrogen to cause cancer. Artificial musks are unregulated chemicals linked to skin irritation, hormone disruption, and even cancer.
Up to 75% of brand name fragrances on the market have one of these chemicals in them. So when you smell a chemical fragrance, or put it on your skin, you're exposing yourself to these man-made chemicals.

However, when you smell a rose, you're breathing in totally natural healthy chemicals that are not harmful.

We all want to smell good so use what nature made. There are some fabulous smelling pure essential oils that have nothing in them but what the plant made. Look for these pure unadulterated essential oils and pick the ones that smell to your liking. Try not to use man-made chemicals that can cause serious health problems.
