How can you make the scent of your perfume last longer? What are the right ways to choose the perfume that suits your skin type? Here’s everything you need to know about perfume and how to make it last longer:
1. **Moisturize Your Skin**
Moisturizing the skin is one of the most important steps to better fix the scent of the perfume. Applying perfume immediately after showering helps the skin absorb the fragrance more easily, making your perfume last longer.
2. **A Little Oil on Your Body**
Body oils help your perfume last longer thanks to the active fatty ingredients contained in the oils. So, just like with body lotion, gently massage oil into the areas you want to perfume, then spray your favorite scent.
3. **Perfume the "Warm" Areas**
Apply perfume to the so-called "warm" areas like your neck, behind your ears, your chest, and inside your elbows. These areas will help diffuse the scent throughout your body.
4. **Perfume Your Hairbrush**
Spray a little perfume on your hairbrush so that a pleasant scent emanates from you. You can also apply perfume to your scarf, and you will definitely enjoy a long-lasting fragrance.
5. **Avoid Rubbing Your Wrists Together**
After applying perfume, the common belief is to rub your wrists together. However, this belief is incorrect, as it helps the scent evaporate more quickly. So, avoid rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume.
6. **Use Vaseline**
Simply rub a small amount of Vaseline on the areas you want to perfume. After allowing it to penetrate your skin well, you can apply your perfume.
7. **Your Perfume Based on Your Skin**
The reason your perfume might last longer could be due to your skin type. Some skin types hold onto fragrance scents more easily, while others tend to make the scent fade quickly. Dry skin does not retain perfume well, unlike oily skin. Therefore, apply a little unscented body oil to your dry skin before applying perfume to help maintain its scent.
