We had this question pop up and naturally had to go and investigate it of course. We've all experienced that one product that just gave you a dull headache after being exposed to it. Right?! It's really surprising how our skin and body react to ingredients we didn't even know we would have reactions to.
How They Might Be Messing With You
There is something to it. Certain ingredients in some skincare products - like those with strong fragrances or chemical compositions- can trigger headaches even for those who are not sensitive to smells or synthetic ingredients. Using these products can be the source of headaches coming on after skincare routines.
So what ingredients should you look out for?
Artificial Fragrances - Many products use synthetic fragrances. These synthetic fragrances can be a mix of dozens of chemicals. These strong smells can bring on fragrance-induced headaches
Preservatives (Parabens) - These are used to make the product last longer. On more sensitive persons, these can irritate sensitive systems leading to mild allergic reactions and headaches.
Synthetic Dyes - These fun colorful additives make your product look pretty but they are not always as gentle on your body as we would like to think.
If you are prone to headaches, making the switch to fragrance-free or natural essential oil containing products to alleviate those symptoms. Reading labels and doing a patch test can help avoid unwanted surprises. Here at Sweet Luxury Body Line we believe in keeping things simple, with minimal ingredients that are less likely to cause these issues.
If you think that your products might be affecting you, it could be time to switch to products that focus on gentle, natural ingredients. Skincare should feel good. Not just on your skin but your overall self.
