Tips for Making Your Perfume Last All Day
- Moisturize
Using a body oil or lotion without a scent will always help the fragrance last longer. Because dry skin does not quite absorb and retain fragrance in the same way that softened skin does, applying a moisturizing product that does not alter the fragrance of your perfume will go a long way.
- Spray It Only On Pulse Points
Your arteries are closest to the surface of your skin at pulse points, or "warm points," where you can feel your heartbeat by lightly touching them. and project a scent more effectively. useful common pulse points: the clavicles, wrists, behind the knees, and directly behind your ears.
- Take Note of Your Concentration
The perfume concentrations in different varieties vary; A stronger eau de parfum lasts for at least 6-7 hours without needing to be reapplied, while an eau de toilette only lasts about 3-4 hours.
- Massage It Into Your Hair
This trick is great for keeping your scent on your person throughout the day, especially for people with longer hair. Spritz some into your hair brush before working it through your hair, or if you want to keep your hair short, spray some on your palms, let it settle, and then work it through your hair.
- Avoid rubbing your hands together.
It has been demonstrated that the effortless action you saw in movies or at your grandmother's vanity table as a child is incorrect; When it comes to the fragrance's longevity, it actually works against it. The rubbing actually breaks down the chemicals in your scent, speeding up the breakdown and loss of its fragrance.
- Fragrances in Layers
This is an interesting way to extend the life of your perfume on your body; Start with a scent that is heavier, and then spritz a lighter one that has the same notes as the heavier one. The first one goes away, and the second one, which comes in later, mixes with it; similar to a small perfume after a party.
- Always Spray Your Skin
Spray only your skin, not your clothes, at all times. Not only can perfume oils harm some fabrics, staining them permanently and breaking down the fibers, but they also leave very little scent on them. However, they live significantly longer on skin; and not wreck anything in the process.
- Smartly Store Your Perfume
Proper storage is the first step; You can be sure that your perfumes will deteriorate over time if you display them on a dressing table that gets some light. You can keep their power by storing them in their original boxes in a cool, dark place; which indicates that it will last longer when worn.
- Use cotton swabs that Scented
Do you lack the space to carry a full perfume or cologne bottle so that you can reapply it throughout the day? That can be circumvented by spraying some on cotton balls and keeping them in a small ziplock bag; Surprisingly, the cotton fibers retain fragrance for a long time. Simply remove them and dab them on!
- After taking a shower, apply.
Bathing opens your pores in a way that nothing else can, making your skin the ideal container for fragrance. Spray your perfume after drying your skin and applying a light moisturizer; It's simple: you'll get another couple of hours.
