Today, even such a personal hygiene item as toilet paper can smell nice, and therefore it is not surprising that people prefer to buy paper with the scent of strawberries or peaches in order to lift their spirits.
But is it true that such an acquisition does not cause any harm to a person?
Of course, people are unlikely to check the composition of toilet paper, although they should do so.
It is possible that scented paper contains some substances that can have a detrimental effect on the health of the individual and his entire family. So, what do you need to know?
The dangers of toilet paper with different fragrances
Yes, toilet paper can smell delicious today, but we should not forget that such a personal hygiene item will only harm allergy sufferers, because the paper contains artificial fragrances. And is it worth mentioning that the skin that the paper comes into contact with is very delicate, and therefore it needs to be taken care of?
Scientists say that scented toilet paper contains substances that may contain harmful vapors.
When a person inhales them, he thereby worsens his general well-being and can easily get a headache.
This personal hygiene product also contains bleach and dyes, although their concentration is not as high.
Therefore, a person who prefers to buy toilet paper with any scents should be prepared for the fact that this may affect his well-being, and he will not even guess what led to this.
Fragrance enhancers and dyes disrupt the natural pH balance of the epidermis when they come into contact with the skin, which can cause it to become red and irritated, and fungi can begin to multiply on it in large quantities.
How can you tell if scented toilet paper has had a negative impact on your skin? This is what they say:
* redness;
* burning;
* itching.
If any of these symptoms persist, the person should switch to using regular paper.
If a person understands that even after some time the discomfort does not go away, he should consult a doctor, because perhaps it was not only the paper that provoked the appearance of some problems on his skin.
