Morning or evening – when is the best time to apply the deodorant?
BILD knows.
Deodorant works better in the evening, says dermatologist Dr. Justine Hextall from the Western Sussex Hospital in Worthing, England. However, this only applies if the deodorant also contains aluminum chloride.
However, aluminum deodorants have been strong in recent years come under criticismbecause they are suspected of being carcinogenic. For this reason, almost only aluminum-free deodorants can be found in drugstores. These should be applied as usual in the morning after showering.
If you do not want to do without deodorants with aluminum chloride despite the health risk, you should apply them in the evening. Because: “Studies show that people who apply their deodorant in the evening before going to bed sweat less than those who use it in the morning immediately after getting up,” says the expert.
Reason: “The cells of our sweat glands absorb aluminum chloride from the deodorant, swell and close up. For this they need the time in the night. In the morning the sweat can no longer escape, so we sweat less, ”explains Hextall. If you have sensitive skin, you can wash off the remains of the deodorant the next morning.
