Scientists are warning that applying perfume to the neck area can pose a health risk. It is reported that the skin in this area is very thin and rich in blood vessels, which allows chemicals to enter the body more rapidly through the skin.
The editorial reports that, according to experts, the chemical components in perfumes can have a negative impact, particularly on the thyroid gland. These substances can interact with hormone receptors, leading to hormonal imbalance and excessive or unnecessary activation of the endocrine system.
Research indicates that some chemical compounds prevent hormones from binding normally to receptors, disrupting natural hormonal activity in the body. This process can have a cumulative effect over the long term, leading to the intensification of negative consequences.
Experts recommend choosing safer areas when using perfume and avoiding intense direct application to the skin. In their opinion, such habits can help reduce future health risks.
