One TikTok star revealed the shocking truth on social media. He claimed that anyone over 30 should have it.
Sid, the man who uses the internet to go by Sid, said it in his Video: “Here’s what I wish I knew before I was 30.
“You’re supposed to apply deodorant at night!”
He is right.
You can find the instructions on the back of the deodorant and it clearly states that you should use it at night.
Many deodorant companies provide the explanations on their websites.
The following is an extract from the Arm and Hammer website, “the time of day that you apply antiperspirant matters because your body has natural rhythms that affect when you sweat.”
According to them, night is when your body’s temperature drops and you sweat less. It’s therefore easier for your body to absorb the antiperspirant if you use it at night since your sweat glands become less active.
“Giving your body time to absorb the sweat-blocking ingredients in antiperspirant is also a consideration for when you should apply it,”They explained.
“If you put on antiperspirant before you go to bed, you give your body several hours while you sleep to block the sweat ducts before they also awaken.”
Many commented on Sid’s video to ask if they were actually doing anything right.
One person wrote: “I don’t even know if I’m breathing right anymore.”
A second share: “I thought I was meant to give my skin a break at night from any product so it’s healthier?”
Then, there’s a third: “I started putting on deodorant at night and it’s been amazing!”
There you go, folks. You can try switching it up to get better results.
