Get up, have a shower, get dressed, do your hair, make-up or shave then head out for the day. Most of us do this pretty much every morning without even thinking. Easy. But according to a skin care expert we’ve actually be doing a key part of our morning routine wrong, and we should actually be putting our deodorant on before getting into bed. It may seem a bit odd, but dermatologist Sandra Lee claims this is the most effective way to use the product if you don’t want to smell, and she has the science to back it up.
According to Lee, deodorant is best applied at night, it is most effective at night because you’re putting it on when your sweat glands are the more dormant so it’s going to make it more effective.” Deodorant should always be applied to clean, dry skin, it’s best to shower in the evening, pat your skin dry with a towel, and then apply deodorant. Who knew?!
Something else you should know: The difference between deodorant and antiperspirant. Antiperspirants reduce sweat, while deodorants reduce body odor.
