Applying perfume wisely enhances the fragrance effect. Improper use risks skin damage and irritation. Discover essential do’s and don’ts for safety.
Perfume has become a part of daily grooming to help people feel fresh and confident. However, applying perfume to the wrong areas of your body can also cause skin issues and health issues. Experts wanted to help you enjoy applying fragrance without the side effects, so they suggest applying perfume in specific spots only that are known to be safe.
Areas To Avoid
Below are some areas in which to avoid putting perfume on your body.
Genital Area
We cannot stress enough that you should never put perfume in your love areas. When it comes to perfume and genital areas, the smell of your perfume can be unpleasant, and the bottom line is that the skin in those intimate areas is delicate like no other. The alcohol or chemicals in perfume may burn, itch, or cause an infection in your sensitive parts.
Underarms
Underarm application of perfume may seem convenient; however, perfumes can attract sweat and bacteria, which can alter the fragrance (i.e., burn-on and something unpleasant stinks) and also cause irritation or rashes.
Face and Eye Area
You should never, ever use perfume on your face or near the eye area. Your face skin may be sensitive too, and the great deal of alcohol in perfume may dry it out and cause redness and allergic reactions. Not to mention, if you accidentally get it in your eyes, there will only be burning, and your eyes will certainly be red for a while.
Hair
Although many believe spraying perfume on your hair makes fragrance more lasting, it would do more damage to your hair in the long run. Most perfumes contain alcohol, which strips natural oils, leading to dryness, breakage, and split ends.
Damaged or Dry Skin
You should never use perfume on cracked, dry, or damaged skin. It can worsen irritation, burn your skin, and prolong healing.

The Best Areas to Apply Perfume
Wrists and Neck
Pulse points are typically hot, so they diffuse the fragrance naturally, helping it last longer.
Behind the Ears and Inner Elbows
Both warm areas that will allow the perfume to develop and last all day.
Behind the Knees
Another pulse point usually forgotten. This is especially effective when wearing dresses or skirts. The fragrance will rise when your body heat increases.
Chest and Clothes
A light spray on your chest can provide a lasting impression. You also can spray your clothes from a safe distance, but take care to avoid staining delicate fabrics.
Expert Tips for Long-Lasting Fragrances
Apply perfume on moisturized skin to obtain a stronger lasting scent.
Spray from six to eight inches away to avoid irritation.
Don’t rub your wrists together after putting on perfume. Rubbing breaks down the fragrance molecules.
Perfume can enhance confidence and leave a lasting impression, but using it incorrectly may harm your skin. Knowing where to spray and where not to can make all the difference in enjoying your fragrance safely.
