"but I'm not allergic to fragrance so I don't need to avoid it."

The real truth: your calmest, clearest skin is not going to come from rubbing known irritants into your face every day.

Essential oils sound 'nice' and 'natural'. Poison ivy is natural. Many of the most aggressive irritants in dermatology are plant-derived. Natural is not superior.

You don't think fragrance is causing you problems. You also can't stop searching for products that calm redness, breakouts and irritation. The two are connected, and you have no idea how much of that daily flare is coming from the fragrance and the skincare itself.

People assume the next new product is what transforms their skin. 99% of the time, it's cutting out the minor irritations that are burdening your face and stacking up every single day.
