Deodorant is something that we do not always consider. We put it on every day and it seems to work just fine.

As it turns out, there are things that we need to know and they just might change your life forever. This dermatologist is looking to help everyone out and they have shared a TikTok video that everyone who uses deodorant on a daily basis needs to see.

Dermatologist Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, also known as @dermguru on TikTok, is the one who is looking to help everyone out. We did not know that there was a specific time when deodorant is supposed to be applied.

According to her, it is not during the morning. This is when most of us will put ours on but that is the total opposite of what we need to be doing.

“Deodorant at night to stop sweating,” she shared. This actually makes a ton of sense once we stopped to think about it.

Lisa J. Pieretti, executive director at the International Hyperhidrosis Society, is in full agreement with Dr. Lindsey, in case anyone is wondering. Lisa took it one step further and said that we should actually be using antiperspirants at night.

“…antiperspirants stop sweat, and deodorants actually help neutralize any odor, and neutralize bacteria that may cause odor,” she said, according to Yahoo!. “Then, in the morning, you can swipe a deodorant, which helps minimize any kind of concerns that you may have for odor during the day,” she continues.

That’s not the only skin care tip that she had to offer.

She also recommends mixing your Afrin nasal spray with moisturizer, as this will help to keep rosacea at bay. Dandruff shampoo should also be left in the hair for at least five minutes before it is washed out. This simple act significantly reduces the risk of flaking.
