Unscenrted cologne for sensitive wife

[murlan]

Hi, I have sort of an odd request,
My wife has SUPER sensitive skin and reacts to almost every thing, she gets heat rash, pimples (far from being a teenager) and very bad razor burn after shaving, we have tried all sorts of lotions and medicated creams, she either reacts to them or they don't work. The other night I got an idea for her razor burn and put a little splash of my cologne on it. Low and behold the next day it was completely gone. next we tried it on her heat rash and the next night same results. Move onto the pimples again cleared up in a day or 2. Our problem is as much as she loves the smell of my cologne she would rather not smell like it her self. So my request is A. what is in the cologne that's doing this and B. can we get a scent free or unscented cologne that will do the same thing.
The cologne is a knock off from Avon called "History"

Alcohol.

Go buy a fifth of everclear. Pour off about a third into another container to be used for drinking or cleaning. Replace the missing third with one part thayers unscented witch hazel and one part aloe vera juice. This is my recipe for homemade AS. I usually add some essential oils. But you wouldn't do that in this case. If its too drying, add a little glycerin. That should give you enough AS grade antiseptic for broad application over a long time.

Oh. And welcome to B&B!

If an actual aftershave splash or balm will suffice, there are plenty of unscented options. I've never heard of an unscented cologne as that would pretty much just be rubbing alcohol.

We tried straight rubbing alcohol, didn't do a thing. I'm pretty sure its a cologne? I've had the bottle for ever and it just has the name on it no description or ingredients. Going to give Intotheforges witches brew a try.
Thank you for the reply and the welcome

It is called His Story (my sister inlaw used to sell their products). I have no idea if you could contact avon and ask what the ingredients are, explain the problem you are having, they may help. Have you tried a product called sea breeze? I think that is what it is called. A friend of mine uses it and his acne and all is non existent, he said it was bad growing up. Ever since he tried the sea breeze no acne and he says his skin is better as well.

Good luck hope you can find something that works.

I read unscented cologne and had to laugh just a bit

Kinda like Dehydrated water...

Try Thayers Superhazel... 20% alcohol, aloe vera juice and witch hazel. Awesome product w/ a pleasant mild clove/peppermint scent.

And unscented cologne is an oxymoron.

+1. Got me to look at this thread, though. I'd go with the witch hazel solution.
