After all, what woman doesn\u2019t want to smell like \u201cAmber Sky\u201d or sweat out \u201cPure Seduction\u201d (whatever that may be)? However, using synthetic fragrance may come with a price. The fragrance has been associated with skin allergies, breathing difficulties, and even neurotoxicity in mice.1,2,3 The Environmental Working Group rates fragrance as a high toxicity substance.4 Thankfully, with a little research and extra time you can find great products that are fragrance-free. I\u2019ve never been blessed with a great complexion and taking care of my skin has always been a hassle. I\u2019ve tried just about every product out there but have finally nailed down the perfect blend of products that don\u2019t include any irritating fragrance. Here are some of my personal favorites.Acure Facial Cleansing Gel This face cleansing gel has a naturally wonderful and fragrant smell. Made with ingredients such as organic acai, blackberry, and pomegranate, this face wash still provides a refreshing wake-me-up scent. As somebody who has oily skin, I also appreciate a gel cleanser that appeals to all skin types as opposed to a cream. I use this in the morning and the evenings before I go to bed.Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Made from natural calcium bentonite clay, this product is as earthy as it gets. You can mix this clay with either water or apple cider vinegar (a scent you won\u2019t soon forget). It is a great alternative to harsh acne scrubs. It starts off wet and tightens your skin as it dries, so I always finish off my mask treatment by applying coconut oil afterward to keep my skin from drying out. Whenever my skin needs a little extra attention, I smear on this mask for about ten minutes and wake up to find my blemishes have magically disappeared.Burt\u2019s Bees Eye Makeup Remover Pads These small pads are great for wiping off makeup quickly without having to rinse. I\u2019m not a huge fan of wipe-off products that don\u2019t require rinsing after use, but these pads are made with kiwi fruit water and leave a non-greasy feel. This product is made with 99.5% natural ingredients and has a faint fruity smell. \u00a0They even remove waterproof mascara, which isn\u2019t an easy task.Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel Witch hazel is my favorite toner because it doesn\u2019t leave your skin dry when it evaporates, yet keeps oil production at bay. Its alcohol-free formula is infused with aloe, which is what makes this product stand out from your basic drug store brand. If you haven\u2019t tried witch hazel, it can be used for oily, irritated, blemished, inflamed, and burned skin. In other words, it\u2019s pure magic in a bottle.Natur Sense Aloe Vera Gel After I wash my face, remove excess eye makeup, and apply toner, I top it off with Natur Sense\u2019s Aloe Gel to lock in hydration. Made from cold-pressed Aloe barbadensis, this product is charcoal filtered for purity and is also food grade. This isn\u2019t like your regular aloe; it has a smooth and thin consistency that makes it perfect for application. A little dab goes a long way, so one bottle will last you a long time. Thankfully, this aloe even has a 2-year shelf life.We encounter synthetic fragrance every day even when we aren\u2019t thinking about it. It\u2019s in the candle burning at the restaurant dinner table, the antibacterial spray at the gym, and in the soap at the car wash. Our exposure to fragrance is inevitable, but we do have a choice of what we put on our body. Your skin is your largest organ, take good care of it!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synthetic fragrance can be found in just about every beauty product, used to make products more appealing and entice us to pull out our wallets.
