Who doesn’t love to smell good all day? When we splurge so much on finding and buying suitable fragrances that improve our mood and indulge our senses, it is only natural to want it to last all day. Turns out, there are certain ways to extend the life of your perfume spritz and smell good regardless of the heat, dust, and dirt outside. Here are some tips and tricks to make your perfume last longer: Apply it right after a shower Right after a warm shower, your skin is clean, primed, and ready to hold onto scents. Use this time to your advantage, and have your perfume stay for longer. Make sure you dry yourself before spritzing any perfume on, or the fragrance will rub right off. Moisturize before applying perfume Use an oil-based lotion or cream before applying or reapplying your perfume, as this will help hold on to the fragrance better. According to experts, wet skin holds onto perfumes for longer than dry skin. For best results, it is recommended to shower, pat dry, moisturize, and then spritz the fragrance. Target the right points Certain pulse points experience temperature fluctuations throughout the day, and keep reacting to the scent, making it “stay” for longer.
