It can be helpful to know what kind of scents bother you. If a particular brand of perfume or laundry detergent causes an adverse reaction, you should know so you can avoid that brand in the future. Keep a journal chronicling when and where you have a bad reaction to a smell.  It may be hard to identify the precise trigger every time, but try to notice when symptoms arise. Jot down any probable cause, from scents from outdoors to household products. Take your journal with you to work or social events. Such places can sometimes be ripe with unwanted scents that may trigger a reaction. Keeping your journal in a "notes" section on your smartphone can make it easy to access it. There are certain events where you may be exposed to a lot of unwanted scents. During formal parties, for example, many people may be wearing perfumes or colognes. Prepare as much as you can before these events. If you find such events are particularly harsh on your sensitivity, consider sitting them out.  If you're on any medications that help with your sensitivity, bring these to parties. You may want to stay close any open windows during these kinds of events. Try occasionally stepping outside if a smell is bothering you. One of the best means to minimize reactions is to keep your exposure low. This is especially important if your reactions are intense. Try to stay away from scents that bother you.  Avoid stores where there are heavy odors, such as department stores that use a lot of chemical cleaners. If you notice a product you use at home, like a cleaner, is bothering your sensitivity, cease use immediately. Ask your household members to minimize their own use of scented products. . Scent sensitivity is sometimes caused by an allergic reaction. If your body is in a weakened state due to illness, your allergies will be more acute. It's a good idea to get a flu shot during cold and flu season. Talk to your doctor before getting a flu shot to make sure the shot is safe for you given your medical history and any existing medical conditions. A fan or an air purifier may help rid your home of unwanted scents. You can purchase such items online or at a local department store. See if symptoms improve by placing some fans and air purifiers in your home. If you suffer from scent sensitivity, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor. Scent sensitivity is not just an inconvenience. It's a legitimate medical condition. It's well-documented that many people react with allergic reactions such as rashes in response to certain fragrance. While most people must have direct physical contact with a fragrance containing substance, some people's scent sensitivity is so severe they may break out into rashes just from inhaling a smell.  Part of your medical evaluation may include blood work, urinalysis, pulmonary function testing, and evaluation for mood disorders (such as depression and/or anxiety). A simple patch test can be used to diagnose an allergy to a specific scent. Patches containing a potential irritant will be placed on your skin. After 48 hours, your doctor will remove such patches and examine your skin for a reaction. If you do have an allergy, your doctor can help you come up with an action plan for treatment. They may recommend medications or lifestyle changes that help you cope with scent sensitivity.

Before showering, run a bar of soap over the mirror lightly, making sure to cover the whole surface. Take care not to rub the soap too hard, or the soap scum will obscure the mirror completely.  You can do this exact same experiment with liquid soap or Vaseline.  If you are concerned about the appearance of your mirror after rubbing soap on it, use window cleaner to clean away any excess soap. This should leave your mirror looking clear, even after being subjected to steam. If you don’t want to do the whole mirror or can’t reach parts, just cover the parts that you need (like the area where your face will be.) Pour a small amount of whatever shampoo you have available onto a folded paper towel. Use your paper towel to wipe the shampoo over whatever part of your mirror you want to keep clear. Then, take a clean paper towel and use that to wipe the mirror dry.  Use twice the amount of shampoo you would normally use to wash your hair. Make sure to wipe the mirror completely dry, otherwise you will end up with a blurry looking mirror. This same trick can be done using shaving cream, toothpaste and laundry detergent. Use whichever one you have handy. To create your mixture, combine one cup of vinegar and one cup of water. Stir the solution until you are satisfied it has been sufficiently mixed. Pour the mixture into an empty spray bottle and spray the mixture directly onto your mirror. Use a paper towel to wipe the mirror down.  For a little more defogging power, add a few drops of dish soap to your mixture. This method should last a couple of days, so continue to re-spray your mirror as necessary.
