Eliminating Unwanted Perfume

Our first thought is to use soap and water and wash the area where the perfume was applied. Short of rubbing the area raw, this won't make much of a difference as fragrances are prepared with ingredients that are soluble in alcohol rather than water. I personally do not recommend rubbing your skin with pure alcohol as this is a harsh solution and would turn sensitive skin into a mass of red spots. Therefore, I will share with you my favorite approaches to get rid of the unpleasant perfumes in a safe, gentle and effective way. Not only do these remove unwanted perfume but can also be used as beauty treatments.
  1. Makeup Remover - look for makeup removers that are designed for waterproof cosmetics. Using several cotton balls, saturate with the makeup remover and apply over the perfumed area. Allow the solution to remain on the skin for about 3 minutes. Should any trace of the fragrance still remain, use a fresh cotton ball with makeup remover and repeat the process. Rinse the area thoroughly with water and you'll be amazed that the scent is gone.
  2. Oil - this is a perfume removal and beauty treatment all rolled up into one. Apply any mildly scented oil and give your skin a good massage. Use a dry sponge or body brush if you want your skin to be extra soft. Finish this process by rinsing off with plenty of shower gel in the shower and then apply your favorite lotion or oil. The experience of an unpleasant perfume is almost worth it after completing this step.
  3. Laundry Detergent - in place of washing your skin with soap, laundry detergent works just as well. Since many detergents on the market today are scented, it is recommended to use a non-scented product. Otherwise you may be replacing one scent for another, thereby defeating the purpose of eliminating the scent.
When applying a new perfume for the first time the best area to test it out is on the forearm or back of the hand. You want to be careful not to get the fragrance on your clothes, jewelry or watch. Once you determine that you enjoy the fragrance then you can apply a more generous spray to other pulse points such as your neck or cleavage.
Unfortunately, scents linger in our fabrics and hair. If your clothes are saturated in a fragrance that you don't like the odors may haunt you for days. One inexpensive trick is to let the piece of clothing air out or pack them in a box with sachets of baking soda. This also works well for other unpleasant scents, such as, smoke or cooking smells. If this does not work then dry cleaning is another alternative.
Lastly, fragrances can get into our hair. Despite shampooing the scent may still be there. Try mixing 1-2 tablespoons of cider or wine vinegar into a cup of water and applying it to clean washed and conditioned hair. There is no need to rinse out the vinegar solution and you'll be amazed at how shiny your hair will look.
Trying on perfume should be fun and not feared. As you can see there are ways to eliminate unwanted perfume.

Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!!

Fish farming like other business has its proms and cons.. And truthfully its a very lucrative and yet a money draining business..  I have read articles about how lucrative the business is and how to invest and reap millions.. All I do is just to laugh on reading such article.. All they want is just for u to buy their manual and make money.. Surprisingly most of them don't have a farm of their own, they are computer farmers who don't have any experience whatsoever in the business.. I know of farms within my area who have shut down their farms due to frequent loss over the years.. I was also considering shutting down myself after I lost close to 2 million naira, yeah u heard me TWO MILLION NAIRA, but after diligent study which took about a year I decided to give it my last shot..
