Fragrance Tip of the Month:
The secret to long-lasting fragrance is ‘fragrance layering’. Build up layers of scent on the skin by using different forms of the same fragrance – fragrance soap or body scrub, with body oil or butter, body mist, body lotion or cream and a dusting powder. Each reinforces the impact of the other to quadruple the life of your favorite scent.
What’s Your Fragrance IQ?
Question: When is the optimal time to apply your fragrance?
Answer: The optimal time to apply fragrance is shortly after a shower when your skin is still warm, BUT not wet. This is due to two major reasons:
- The heat from your body affects how the fragrance dissipate, which positively affects the scent.
- Your skin is clean, and the oils that would negatively affect how the fragrance dissipates will no longer be on your skin.
It’s Gettin Hot In Here
Summer is here and it is hot! Remember to keep your body butters and shimmers in a cool dark place such as your bathroom cabinets and away from direct sunlight. The butters and oils in them will likely melt if too hot. But don’t fret, solidify them again by refrigerating them for a couple hours. Better yet, you can extend the shelf life by keeping them refrigerated.
