Regardless of whether you are the team that prefers the morning baths or the gang that really enjoys a good shower before bed, everyone follows the same routine in the morning: after showering - or washing your face - most People brush their teeth, treat their hair, put on a clean outfit, pass that scent and whimsy on the deodorant before leaving to face the tribulations of daily life.

Who never faced this?

However, did you know that applying deodorant in the morning may not be the most efficient way to use the product? Yeah! Were you surprised by this information? We here from Mega Curious too! According to Rachel Nussbaum of The Greatist portal, at least for antiperspirants, to get the most out of her action, the best time to pass the product is at night before bed.

Surprise

According to Rachel, it is first important to understand that deodorants and antiperspirants are different products. While one only masks the body odors with Fresh, Takador (yes, this fragrance exists!), Cotton and Sexy (as it is ... this one also exists) smells and has limited duration in a few hours, the other contains aluminum in its formula and is focused on reducing sweating by temporarily "plugging" sweat-releasing ducts.

However, it is worth noting that the products that most of us call - and use - as a deodorant have mixed properties, that is, it works to make us smell nice while avoiding excessive sweating. If you have any doubt, just read the product label and make sure it has aluminum among its active ingredients.

One is one thing, the other is something else, but many are a combination of both. Understood?

Well, the fact is that Rachel talked to a Boston dermatologist named Jeffrey Dover, who explained to her that as our rate of natural perspiration drops at night, it is more efficient to apply antiperspirant before bed. Hard to believe you were using the product the wrong way all this time?

For this information was confirmed by another dermatologist, Anna Kirkorian, of the Dermatology Division of the Children's National Health System, Washington. The doctor used an interesting analogy to explain the effect. He said applying the product in the morning would be like trying to build a dam when the water is about to flow. On the other hand, applying at night helps create a stronger barrier to when water starts to flow.

No one likes to find out that the deodorant has won

Therefore, for a more efficient action and proof of unwanted "expiration", it is recommended that the antiperspirant be applied at night and reinforced in the morning, after performing all the ritual that turns us from sleepy zombies to normal humans.
