Wearing perfume during the summer can have serious consequences on our skin. We therefore reveal our selection of perfumes that you can wear without risk in the sun.
Unthinkable to go in the sun without wearing perfume? Contrary to popular belief, you can absolutely wear scent in summer. You just have to choose it well so that the molecules it contains do not create spots in the sun if you are used to spraying perfume on your skin. In reality, it is not the alcohol present in perfumes that poses the most problem for wearing perfume in the sun, but other olfactory molecules (of natural origin when they come from essential or synthetic oils) called furocoumarins or psoralens, which are photosensitizing. They stimulate the production of melanin in the skin, which can lead to the appearance of pigment spots undesirable but also a whole host of reactions such as rednessa allergy or worse, a burn.
But as alcohol can be irritating on sensitive skin and cause similar allergies on the most reactive skin, we tend to confuse. This is why we still recommend using softer alcohol-free perfumes in summer to avoid any risk. Water or oil based, sometimes they are natural fragrances, sometimes not. When choosing yours, be careful not to mislead yourself, it is not because a perfume is from a summer collection or that it is a limited edition fragrance for the been that it is necessarily formulated without alcohol. So as not to be mistaken, we reveal 5 perfumes to wear light-heartedly in the sun.
