Hi Rosie,
It's mainly the perfumes: scented soaps, lipsticks, blushers and powders, and for men, after shave lotions. I don't know which smells you have to look out for, but of all the make-up, it often strikes me that the blushers and the lipsticks are the most perfumed. Some hair conditioners too, and facial cleansing wipes.
Most women don't use eau de toilette or perfume in the sun, because they know they can get really dark pigmentation behind their ears. But all the other products in the same beauty line as the perfume, like a body lotion, or a soap, contain the same scents.
Really avoid retinol and the retinoids. Those are in nearly all anti-wrinkle and night creams. If you use a night cream, really cleanse it in the morning, but not with perfumed facial wipes, not with scented soaps, not with a perfumed face cleanser or make-up remover, see what I mean? I used to remove make-up after a night out in drag with cold cream. The one without scent.
