My Favorite Clean Perfume!

Hi friends! Today, I wanted to share my favorite clean perfume with you!

If you follow me on instagram, you know I talk about my favorite CLEAN skincare products all the time! They are DIME BEAUTY products, and I LOVE them! I have been using their skin care line for over three years, and at age 53, I’m very happy with the way my skin looks and feels.

I started with, and still use, “The Works” Bundle, (although I use many more of their skincare products as well.)

USE CODE: BENEATHMYHEART for 20% off any product site wide.

But another clean product that DIME has that I absolutely LOVE is their perfume!

For years, I had stopped wearing perfumes because they always gave me headaches. I didn’t realize it then, but I know now it was because of all the harmful ingredients in perfumes. 🥴

Here is a list of some of the harmful effects of the chemicals found in perfumes….(#3 is a BIG one for women!)

1. Respiratory Irritation: Many perfumes contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene derivatives, formaldehyde, and toluene. These compounds can trigger respiratory irritation, particularly in individuals with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure to these chemicals may exacerbate existing respiratory issues and even lead to the development of new ones over time.

2. Allergic Reactions: Perfumes often contain allergens such as limonene and linalool, which can cause skin irritation, redness, itching, and even contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. Moreover, repeated exposure to these allergens may sensitize the skin, making it more susceptible to adverse reactions with subsequent use.

3. Hormonal Disruption: Recent studies have raised concerns about the potential endocrine-disrupting effects of certain chemicals found in perfumes, such as phthalates. These chemicals, commonly used as fragrance fixatives, have been linked to hormonal imbalances, reproductive issues, and even an increased risk of certain cancers. Prolonged exposure to phthalates through regular perfume use may pose significant health risks, particularly for pregnant women and developing fetuses.

4. Migraines and Neurological Effects: For some individuals, exposure to strong fragrances can trigger migraines and other neurological symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and even cognitive impairment.

5. Asthma Exacerbation: Asthma sufferers are particularly vulnerable to the respiratory irritants present in perfumes. The inhalation of perfume particles can trigger asthma attacks, leading to shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing.

So I basically gave up wearing perfumes,….until I found DIME Beauty Perfumes! Oh my goodness! I love them SO MUCH!

They smell SO GOOD, they are CLEAN, and they don’t give me headaches!! I love that I don’t have to worry about how my perfume will negatively affect my health (or the health of others,) when wearing it.

I have 5 bottles of DIME perfumes, and the two I wear the most are Lovely Sweet Dreams, and Felt Cute. All of their perfumes have different scents, from citrusy, to woodsy, to musky, and floral. You can find the descriptions of each perfume’s smell on their website. 👍🏼

They just came out with “boosters” that you can add to your favorite DIME perfumes. I got these and love them! It’s fun to create “new” scents with the DIME perfumes that I already have. It’s like I have a ton of different perfume scents I can create each and every day. So cool!

The ingredients are pure and clean, and you don’t have to worry about what you are putting on your body. I think these perfumes make great gift ideas too! They have travel size rollers of their perfumes to carry with you in your purse or bag.

I was talking about the perfume rollers the other night on my instagram stories. I uploaded them to YouTube to share them with you here!

If you have any questions about DIME perfumes or any of the skin care products, just let me know in the comments! I use a TON of their products!

And remember that if you ever want to purchase something on DIME’s website, be sure to use my code: BENEATHMYHEART for 20% off your order!

I pray you have a blessed day!

xoxo, Traci
