Dermatologist says you're using deodorant wrong - and shares proper method
Some days we nail adulting but on others, we can end up questioning whether everything we know is indeed a lie.
But when it comes to using deodorant to keep us smelling fresh, there doesn't seem to be any complicated rules or etiquette that we must follow. Simply spray (or roll) and you're ready to seize the day, right?
Well, a skin expert has revealed the proper method to help keep those pesky sweat patches away - and it all comes down to when you apply the product. The hack has gone down a storm on social media, with people describing it as a complete 'game changer'.
Dr Lindsey Zubritsky is a board-certified dermatologist, and has amassed a whopping 700,000 Instagram followers due to her beauty and skincare advice. In a recent video, she shared several hacks she said she could no longer 'gatekeep'.
"If you're not applying your deodorant at night time, you're doing it wrong," she said. "At night time, our sweat glands are less active. Therefore, it absorbs the antiperspirant more effectively." Other hacks included dealing with dry, chapped lips by using hyaluronic acid - and how to get rid of fungal acne.
