Your Skin Can Smell

This one surprises almost everyone.

Skin cells contain olfactory receptors — the same type of receptors found in your nose.

These receptors help skin:

  • Detect certain chemicals
  • Assist in wound healing
  • Trigger cellular repair responses

Studies have shown that certain scents can actually stimulate skin repair at the cellular level.

Your skin doesn’t “smell” like your nose does — but it can detect and respond to airborne compounds in sophisticated ways.
