Article: Some people are especially sensitive to scents and sprays, and too much scent can be overwhelming. Apply just a single spray or a few dabs. If you feel that your date may be sensitive to your perfume, ask them about it before the date.  Say something like, "would it be alright if I wear some perfume for the date?" or "would you mind if I put on some cologne?" Deodorant is always a good idea, but be careful not to over-apply that either, especially if it is fragranced. Even if you have extremely dry skin, consider skipping an application right before your big date. First dates are always a bit nerve-wracking, and you'll likely be sweaty until you feel settled. By avoiding moisturizer for the date, you can avoid unwanted shine. Alternatively, consider wearing an anti-sweat or anti-shine makeup setting spray. You can also apply a light dusting of setting powder before you head out. Choosing a few simple pieces to accentuate your outfit (if you're going somewhere fancy) is appropriate. If you're drowning in jewelry, your date might feel distracted by it. Another reason to avoid excessive jewelry is that it might get in the way. Depending on where you are going, you might also become a target for theft. This is especially important if you are meeting someone you met online. Even if a tan would look good on you, you want to be an accurate representation of the photo you posted. If you had long hair in your photo, then keep it long for the date!  Another reason to avoid tans and haircuts before dates is that they can go wrong. If you end up with a bad tan or haircut, you may not have enough time to fix it. Sometimes, a hair cut may be a good option. For example, if your hair looks unruly and messy, a good trim may help eliminate split ends and get your hair back into shape.

What is a summary?
Don't use too much perfume or cologne. Skip the moisturizer. Don't wear too much jewelry. Don't get a tan or a drastic haircut right before your date.
