    Fragrance, which is found in many cosmetic and skin-care lines, is a common culprit. If you find that scented products irritate you, look for products bearing " fragrance free" or " without perfume" on their labels. Even products labeled" unscented" might include an added plain fragrance, which can mask the odor of strong chemicals.
