My Unscented & Lightly Scented Skincare & Makeup Products
Are you bothered by strong scents? I have several favorite unscented and lightly scented skincare and makeup products I’d like to share with you!
Let’s start with my favorite UNSCENTED products….
CeraVe’s Hydrating Facial Cleanser is a go-to for my morning cleansing. It’s a good value for this large-sized bottle and has a nice pump top.
For my evening moisturizing lotion, CeraVe PM Lotion is a great one. It contains peptides and ceramides that are good for skin. I use it as the last product applied.
ALL of the Paula’s Choice skincare products are unscented! I’m showing two of my favorites here. The Daily Replenishing Body Cream is a thick cream that absorbs nicely. Wearing sunscreen on my face every day, 365 days a year rain-or-shine, is one of my secrets to younger looking skin. Paula’s Choice sells several facial sunscreens according to skin type. My favorite is the Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF30 which I think is great for anyone over 35 years old who doesn’t have oily skin.
Nivea Lip Balm in this dark blue container is the only Nivea balm that is unscented. It’s getting harder and harder to find! Ulta sells Nivea lip balm but not this unscented one. Click the pink links to see where you can buy it. I keep a few of these in different places in my home and one in my purse.
Lubriderm Daily Moisturizer in the Fragrance-Free version is one of my favorite body moisturizers. It now comes in this huge bottle! It’s cheaper per ounce than the CeraVe lotion. It absorbs nicely into the skin.
Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is a favorite. It’s a very thick cream that stays where I put it. My hands don’t feel wet after applying it.
Clinique’s Even Better Foundation is a good one to compete with my favorite Emlin foundation. It applies evenly with a flat-headed brush and stays all day. All of Clinique’s products are unscented. If you are sensitive to scents, stop by a Clinique counter to test their skincare and makeup products.
I’ve been wearing the Emlin Undereye Cover Creme since 1990! Each time it lasts 3 to 4 years and it stays creamy to the end. Now that I’m older I use it as a highlighter rather than under the eyes (I have tear troughs and use a peach color under my eyes now). I buff out the “highlighter” with an Eco Tools Buffing Brush.
If you’re looking for a basic pressed powder that doesn’t smell, Rimmel’s Stay Matte Pressed Powder is a go-to. I use a light amount of this on a large brush as a setting powder. Some other powders have a strong scent, so this one is a welcome change. It’s also very affordable. I’ve hit major pan on this one!
Another nice unscented Clinique product is their Cheek Pop Blush. I have the color “Nude Pop” which is the lightest color in the line. It’s a beautiful blush with a peach tone.
Clinique’s Colour Pop Lipcolor is also a great fragrance-free line. Just like the blush in the previous photo, this color is “Nude Pop”.
Lancome Color Design is also a great lipstick line. This color is “Haute Nude”.
I have several Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes and single eyeshadows. This one is the Urban Decay Basics Naked 2 eyeshadow palette.
Next, we’ll go to my favorite lightly scented products that I can deal with well!
The Ulta Beauty Smoothie 3-in-1 is mildly scented and I have several favorite scents. Ulta has testers in the store. If you’re sensitive to scents but like some light scents, stop at an Ulta store and smell a few in this line to decide which one you want to try. They also come in small sizes.
Paul Mitchell’s shampoos and conditioners are slightly scented and don’t make my stomach turn like some other hair products do. I like the “Super Strong” shampoo and conditioner and the “Extra Body” shampoo and conditioner.
Most hairsprays make me feel….sick. Really sick. Like I have to wash it out of my hair asap! This Matrix Vavoom Freezing Spray is one of the few hairsprays I’ve found that I can handle. I even bring it to my hair appointments for my stylist to use on my hair.
I actually love the chocolate scent of the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette. Here, I’m smelling it. LOL. It’s also a nice eyeshadow palette.
L’Oreal Colour Riche is one of my favorite lipstick lines and is definitely my favorite drugstore line. It has a light scent that dissipates quickly. I don’t smell it while I’m wearing it. The line comes in many beautiful colors!
