Perfume for Little Girls

My little girl loves wearing perfume but I would prefer she wear something less expensive than my Chanel No. 5. When a kid gets hold of an aerosol they have no idea how to conserve it. They just keep squirting perfume on themselves until the bottle is empty. Thank God there are children's perfumes out there that are cheap and that come in giant bottles to satisfy their youthful gluttony for scent.
Children's perfumes as a general rule are non-toxic and irritant free. This makes them appealing to parents who worry about their child (or a younger sibling) ingesting perfume or makeup, or having an adverse reaction to it. However, some kids still do experience allergies from kid perfumes.

It is not so much asthma that is a problem. It is rashes on sensitive skin. If you do not want your kid to have a reaction do not buy kiddie perfume products with geraniol, eugenol and hydroxycitronellal.
One very safe product is made by Mattel. It is called Barbie Princes Perfume and is a very demure mix of flowers, wood and mandarin notes. It is described as a very 'girly' scent. It comes with a bonus Barbie watch too.

Those two adorable twins Mary Kate and Ashley have been marketing perfume for tykes for years. They also make makeup for little girls including an eyeliner!

Warner Brothers created a perfume for the Powerpuff Girls. Named after one of the main characters, Buttercup is a combination of vanilla, musk and mint. You can also get scents named after the other two characters – Bubbles and Blossom.

For boys there is a scent called Superman! This is a neutral eau de toilette spray fragrance that comes with a bonus watch with the superhero's image on it. A lot of these scents seem to come with watches. It is as if the manufacturers want you to smell good as well as teach your kids how to tell time.

Believe it or not Mickey Mouse is a unisex fragrance for kids although it is marketed for boys. It comes as a seven ounce spray. It has a strong citrus scent that really makes your kid smell like he was eating a lot of tangerines. It is packed in a metallic lunchbox that can be taken to school.

The great thing about these fragrances is that they are not that expensive. Most of them clock in at under twelve dollars in terms of cost.

Is Your Kid a Candidate for Skin Cancer

There are many factors that dictate whether you more susceptible to skin cancer than others. If you fall under any of the following categories, it is believed that your skin cancer risk is elevated:
• Those who have fair skin that is easily burned and prone to freckles or other common skin markings.
• People who have suffered at least one case of severe sunburn earlier in life.
• Those who have fair hair and/or blue or green eyes.
• People with naturally depleted skin pigmentation caused by other medical conditions such as albinism.
• Those who have many moles on their skin, especially unusually shaped or colored moles, or large ones that they have had from birth.
• People who have suffered skin cancer before, or have family members who have suffered in the past.
It is important to note that these causative factors can work in combination. If for example you are a fair skinned, red haired, blue-eyed individual with several unusual moles who suffered really bad sunburn a couple of times as a youngster (which with this physical make up is extremely likely), the chances of continued or repeated exposure to the sun causing cancer are a great deal higher.
This highlights one of the main reasons why it is so important to know how to prevent sunburn and how to treat it if it unfortunately happens. Anything that increases your melanoma risk levels is something to be taken extremely seriously. Managing the risk of sunburn before the event is by far and away the best way of treating this risk with the respect that it so obviously deserves.
Having been presented with both sides of the ‘is sunshine good for you' argument, I would suggest one thing should be abundantly clear.
Whilst too much exposure to the sun is clearly potentially dangerous, particularly for certain types of people, a lack of exposure to the sun can be equally harmful. Consequently, the only sensible conclusion that can be drawn from this is that a balance needs to be struck between exposing your body to sunlight and keeping covered up at other times
You might be wondering why I am writing about this topic in the middle of winter but the truth is that 'snowburn' is as bad as 'sunburn'. Also many families go south for a holiday in the winter and the kids are often so much in a rush to get out in the sun and warm up that really bad sunburns tend to occur within minutes!
