Here’s the translation into American English:
The use of cologne on the neck, a common gesture, could have unexpected consequences for the health of our skin. Although perfume often garners compliments, dermatocosmetic experts warn that this habit could be linked to the appearance of spots, especially on the neck and décolletage.
Skin spots are not just an aesthetic problem; they are often associated with the formulation of perfumes that contain alcohol, a component that weakens the skin’s natural barrier. According to Patricia Garín, a dermatocosmetic director, the contact of alcohol with unprotected skin can lead to a dull tone and dehydration of the superficial layers. Raquel González, a cosmetologist and founder of Byooode, adds that this weakening also makes the skin thinner and more susceptible to damage.
The neck is one of the most delicate areas of the body, with thin skin and few sebaceous glands, making it more vulnerable to sun damage. Perfumes containing citrus oils are particularly dangerous, as they can cause adverse reactions when exposed to sunlight. Mireia Fernández from Perricone MD emphasizes the importance of including sunscreen in the daily routine to mitigate these risks.
For those who already have spots, treatments are similar to those for sun spots. Isabel Reverte, the dermatocosmetic director of Ambari, suggests using ingredients that even out skin tone and stresses the need for daily sunscreen. Ingredients like vitamin C are effective for brightening and preventing new spots, while hyaluronic acid helps maintain hydration.
The market offers various advanced options, such as Byooode’s Brightening Sprouts Ecstasy serum, which combines niacinamide and vitamin C, or Medik8’s Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, which targets wrinkles and expression lines. Additionally, using a specific sunscreen like Relief Sun Moisture is essential for preventing future issues.
These recommendations highlight the importance of caring for not only appearance but also the health of the skin, especially in areas like the neck, where care routines are often neglected. While using colognes in this area may be a common practice, understanding their adverse effects may motivate a shift towards healthier, blemish-free skin.
