Perfume, Lotion, & Layering: How To stay moisturized and keep Your Scents All Day

One of the most things into being able to stay moisturized and keep scents strong and present throughout the day. When I realized the big impact that layering has on the on my overall fragrances and keeping my skin from getting dry, it changed the whole game for me when it came to body care.

Here’s another thing, you don’t need expensives perfumes to maintain a good smell throughout the day. Actually, it takes a little more than a few sprays but can be way more affordable.

The first step into maintaining good scents and staying moisturized starts in the shower.

You need a good body wash, Bar soap, and a Body Scrub (every now and then, not everyday.)

Salt.XO is a good brand that offers all shower products and a natural, Earty, scent to your overall shower experience.

Tree Hut for shower/Body scrub specifically offers that moistrized and lasting fragrance effect.

Now it is time for lotions and oils.

This step is the very key to all day moisturization.

Vaseline Body oil as soon as you leave the shower while your skin is still damp, helps traps in moisture.

Then that is when you apply your lotion right after which is often based off your preference.

I strongly recommend EOS Lotion because it assist with both a fragrance and a moisturized finish with its multiple scents. Also Victoria’s Secret Lotions paired with a body spray can create a lasting effect.

The topping into finishing the layering into your products with your body sprays and perfume. It is not essential to wear both, but it does help when it comes to lasting scents.

Whether you are staying with a consistent scent based on your lotions and soaps or you’re switching it around, the spray that you choose is based on your preference of the scent you desire.

Body sprays at Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works, and Sol de janeiro provides a lasting body spray effect with several different scents/flavors.

Perfumes can come from anywhere, but some such as Yara provides a lasting impression and gives a classy look at an affordable perfume cost. Shopping at stores such as Marshalls and TJ Maxx will display many affordable different perfumes to try out.

Always apply perfume to pulse points, I recommend getting the smaller version of a more expensive perfume to use only for pulse points. I also recommend your everyday perfume/Body Spray to spray on your body throughout, especially on the fabric of your clothes.
